YES, BUT… Any Food Can Be Turned Into Beer.

The beauty of the craft beer world is the unbridled enthusiasm to brew something that’s never been tasted before. However, creating a beer with a familiar taste can be an almost greater challenge.

Take Shmaltz Brewing’s new Pastrami Pilsner. Created in partnership with Barcade, an East Coast chain of game-filled craft beer bars, the Pastrami Pils grew out of the simple desire to collaborate on something adventurous. Why did they pick pastrami? That detail has been lost to empty pint glasses.

Brewers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.
