'Beer and Shmear' continuing at Shmaltz Brewing

If you're going to be looking for a quick bite-and-brew in January, consider Shmaltz Brewing Company's "Beer and Shmear" series it is carrying over from 2016.

Each Sunday at noon beginning on New Year's Day, the oh-so-Jewish facility will be offering a sampling of five of its He'brew brand beers in its tasting room, plus a traditional bagel and cream cheese to go along with it.

Shmaltz isn't unique in promoting the beer-and-bagels concept. Actually, it's quite popular around the country. A good example can be found in this pairing guide from Draft magazine.

Shmaltz is located at 6 Fairchild Square in Clifton Park. Phone: 406-5430.
