Here's what Lenny Bruce fans should be drinking this summer. Shmaltz Brewing Company, the makers of He'Brew (The Chosen Beer) have introduced the first in a line of beers that pay tribute to Jewish stars. Bittersweet Lenny's R.I.P.A. is an extremely flavorful and robust beer, a Double India Pale Ale with Rye Malt, pretty strong at 10% Alcohol By Volume. It's delicious, brewed with eight different malts and seven different hops (also dry hopped with two of those), truly an "obscene" amount as it says on the label. Wow. Check it out some hot summer afternoon, if you don't have to operate heavy machinery or do much of anything later on.
