"jews" news and stories

It's tradition for Syrian/Sephardic Jewish families to come together and cook - a lot - during the celebration of Sukkot at the beginning of October.

It started out as a joke. Jeremy Cowan and his friends thought it would be funny for Jews to have their own beer. They created He'Brew, "the Chosen Beer," but ten years and 2 million bottles later, Cowan and his friends' joke is serious business.

Their first beer ten years ago was Genesis Ale, a "crisp, smooth and perfectly balanced between a west coast style pale and amber ale, with a supple malt sweetness and a pronounced hop flourish." To celebrate their ten year anniversary, He'brew has launched a few new beers: Genesis 10:10 (for the ten years), and Bittersweet Lenny's R.I.P.A., a tribute to Lenny Bruce.
