He'Brew Origin Pomegranate Ale

Creation, 1996, C.E.: On the floor of a San Francisco Mission loft, intimate friends squeeze luscious pomegrantes by hand to brew the first 100 cases of the original He'Brew Beer. Evolution: The culmination of the first decade of Shmaltz Brewing and core offering for our second. Origin renews this sacred convenant, sacrificing over 10,000 pomegranates for each precious hand-crafted batch. Revelation, on-going: In Jewish traditio, pomegranates symbolize righteousness, with seeds said to number 613, the total commandments in Torah. In Deut 8:8, pomegranates, barley and wheat prove the bounty of the Land of Milk and Honey. The calyz atop the fruit inspired the original Jewish crown. One Persian hero of myth consumed a pomegranate and became invincible. Muhammed instructed: "Eat the pomegranate, for it purges the system of envy and hatred." Newlywed Greeks eager for a family crush one under-heel for fertility. Buddha cured a child devouring demoness of her evil habit by instructing her to eat a pomegranate. Whether for knowledge or temptation, for virtue or valor, for art for love, revel in the sumptuous pleasure of Origin.
