This year, we brought our Menorah (a beer bottle) to share with family on the first night of Hanukkah. When my brother-in-law @thirstynobeard was antsy to go watch a movie, my husband @2beerguys was actually heard saying, &#8220;No ones going anywhere until the candle burns out!&#8221; It&#8217;s great to have a tradition that involves family and friends enjoying a tasty brew while reflecting on our blessings and watching the candles burn.<\/p>\n<p>Funky Jewbelation is a blend of 6 Shmaltz ales that have been aged in rye whiskey and bourbon barrels. This aging really rounds out all the flavors that mix and mingle together to create this brew. It is a dark brown (reddish when held in the light) with a light tan head that lasts. I get some great cherry, fig and sour notes on the nose. The flavor is a stunning combination of figs, plums, sour apples and a sticky sweet something that must come from the malts and barrels.\u00a09.8 ABV?
