Shmaltz Brewing Company is a craft brewer based in Clifton Park, New York, in upstate New York near Albany and Saratoga Springs, with origins dating to 1996 in San Francisco as He’brew Beer. The company shifted from contract brewing to operating its own production facility, opening a 50-barrel brewhouse in Clifton Park in 2013 with an annual capacity of about 20,000 barrels. Its portfolio has included branded and licensed lines, including Star Trek-themed releases developed in collaboration with CBS Studios. In 2019, Shmaltz expanded its distribution through partnerships with DeCrescente Distributing Company and Gasko & Meyer, Inc., while moving its packaging to cans. The brewery packages its core and seasonal beers in 12- and 22-ounce bottles and kegs and operates a tasting room that hosts tours, barrel-aged previews, and special releases.
