Label Reads: "Why is this beer different from all other beers? In the beginning there was an idea, and it was good. A Gourmet Microbrew to celebrate the bounty of our own American land of milk and honey. Our first creation is Genesis Ale, a rich, smooth, and distinctive light brown ale. A smidgen of Middle East, a dash of American West... Then we tasted it, and it was very good. After 5000 years of civilization finally a microbrew with the chutzpah to call itself The Chosen Beer. From the Golden Gate to the city of Gold, may Hebrew join in the blessings of your lives... To Life! L'Chaim!", "Chutzpah never tasted so good", " Conceived in San Francisco, brewed in New York", "A smooth and distinctive Light brown Ale".

Handwritten notes: Pardon the obvious, but I saw the label on this beer and thought it was all some shtick. A nicely hopped and well flavoured beer. Far from a pure novelty, a lovely tasting ale. Mazel tov, brothers.

I friggin' guarantee it.

There were a few He'Brew products available in Manitoba about a year ago, but they have all disappeared. I would love to see them return.

Nice work.
