won the gold medal at the 2012 World Beer Championships. During this period Shmaltz Brewing launched the limited seasonal release Rejewvenator. Rejewvenator is a half-doppelbock, half-Belgian-style Dubbel that was awarded gold medals at the Beverage Testing Institute's 2010 and 2011 World Beer Championships. Each year the recipe includes a different sacred fruit added to the fermenting wort (e.g. fig juice in 2008, date juice in 2009, and Concord grapes in 2010. 2013–2018: Upstate New York In 2013, Shmaltz Brewing sold the Coney Island line to Boston Beer Company, generating the funds that enabled Shmaltz to open its own New York State production brewery in Clifton Park, New York after 17 years of contract brewing. The brewery opened in May 2013, marked in the company's typical humorous style by the release of Death of a Contract Brewer Black IPA. The facility included a 50-barrel brewhouse capable of producing 30,000 US beer barrels (35,000 hL) per year. The brewery packaged 12- and 22-ounce bottles and kegs, and later cans, and offered on-site tours and tastings. In 2013, Shmaltz began a partnership with Cathedral Square Brewery denoted the "Immaculate Collaboration". They released their first St. Lenny's brew that year and continued the partnership in subsequent years. In November 2014, the company released its first Hanukkah beer: Hanukkah, Chanukuh: Pass the Beer. 2015 releases included the debut of the Slingshot series as well as Wishbone, a double IPA; Bock Bock, a barrel-aged imperial bock; and, in line with the company's shtick, Circum Session Ale, an ale that began as an April Fool's joke before becoming a real brew. In 2015, Shmaltz and Cathedral Square again collaborated to launch Saint Jewbelation Belgian Style Imperial Sour Rye. That year, Shmaltz brewed the first "She'Brew" beer in collaboration with the 2nd Annual International Women's Collaboration Brew Day. The brewing effort was coordinated by the Pink Boots Society to empower female brewers and help women further their careers in the craft beer industry through scholarships and educational programs. Proceeds from beer sales are donated to the Pink Boots Society and the charity Girls Inc. of the Greater Capital Region (Albany, NY). The partnership has continued annually. Also beginning in 2015, Shmaltz began offering Slingshot, an American craft lager. Over the 2015–2016 holiday season Shmaltz released a variety pack called "Shtick in a Box" to mark the company's 20th anniversary. In 2016, Shmaltz teamed with the arcade-game-focused bar chain
