Jeremy Cowan established Shmaltz Brewing Company in 1997 as an experiment for Chanukah. He launched his award-winning line of HE’BREW’ Beers with the production of 100 cases of hand-bottled, hand-labeled brews to San Francisco Bay area shelves, hand-delivered out of the trunk of his grandmother’s Volvo. What started out small has blossomed to annual sales of more than $2 million, selling well over six million bottles to date. A variety of great products, tongue-in-cheek packaging, subtle wit and broad schtick have combined to propel Shmaltz forward – growing at more than twice the national average. Named one of the “Best 100 Brewers in the World,” Shmaltz Brewing Company has an impressive, constantly-growing list of awards and medals.
Amid multiple media exposures on TV and in print, Jeremy Cowan has become a sought-after comedic speaker at not-for-profit fund raisers, beer festivals, community events and Jewish celebrations. His book, Craft Beer Bar Mitzvah, will be released in late 2011.
2008 marked the official launch of their craft brewed lagers under the Coney Island brand, in association with the arts organization Coney Island USA, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit. A portion of its proceeds directly benefits Coney Island USA.
