Papago Brewing Company is celebrating the Fourth of July with a Coney Island-themed event. From noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Shmaltz Brewing Company will be featuring selections from its new line of Coney Island Craft Lagers.
A cash bar will be set up so there will be no corkage fee on any bottles of Shmaltz. In addition, Papago will be selling Nathan’s hot dogs, caramel apples and cotton candy.
San Francisco-based Shmaltz is best-known for its HE’BREW Beer series, introduced in 1996. The popular beers — which include Origin pomegranate ale, Genesis ale and Jewbelation Bar Mitzvah — are inspired by Jewish culture and history.
Last summer, the craft brewer debuted its new line’s flagship Coney Island Lager. Three additional Coney Island lagers — Sword Swallower, Albino Python and Human Blockhead — have been unveiled over the past three months.
Papago is located on the southwest corner of Scottsdale and McDowell roads. Info: (480) 425-7439.
