Star Trek Golden Anniversary Ale: The Trouble With Tribbles at the premiere of Star
Trek Beyond (IMAX, Embarcadero Marina Park, July 20) and Comic-Con at the San Diego
Convention Center (July 21 – 24). The Trouble With Tribbles will also be available

Star Trek Golden Anniversary Ale: The Trouble With Tribbles (5 Malts, 5 Hops, 5% ABV)
In the original Star Trek series episode “The Trouble with Tribbles,” the U.S.S.
Enterprise is called to protect a shipment of a genetically engineered four-lobe
grain that is a hybrid of wheat and rye, called quadrotriticale. Since the year 2269
is still about 250 years in the future, Quadritriticale has yet to be conceived.
Thus, Shmaltz brews with triticale for Golden Anniversary Ale: The Trouble With
Tribbles.
The first commercial release by Drew Schmidt (Shmaltz Lead Brewer), the longtime
Shmaltz brewer comments about the beer, “Light Carastan malt gives some residual
sweetness in the form of very light toffee. A dose of Munich adds a slight bready
quality, and wheat malt lends to a slight crisp character. Mashing at a moderate
temperature gives this beer a medium body. In keeping with the intergalactic theme,
hopping is comprised of Comet, Polaris, Aurora and Admiral (Kirk) hops. This beer is
only loosely filtered to clarity, in order to preserve the ambiguity of good and
evil.”
Starting next week, Golden Anniversary Ale: The Trouble With Tribbles will be
available throughout the San Diego metro area at Neighborhood (777 G St.), Burgers,
Bate & Beer (200 Marina Park Way), Hopping Pig (748 Fifth Ave), Tipsy Crow (770
Fifth Ave), Gaslamp Tavern (868 Fifth Ave), The Safehouse – North Park (2930
University Ave), Newport Pizza & Alehouse – Ocean Beach (5050 Newport Ave), Balboa
Tap House – Clairemont (4421 Genesee Ave), Goldfish Point Café – La Jolla (1255
Coast Blvd), Eureka! – La Jolla (4353 La Jolla Village Dr), Woodstock’s Pizza – SDSU
(6145 El Cajon Blvd), Ugly Dog Pub (6344 El Cajon Blvd), Craft Kitchen – La Mesa

Star Trek Golden Anniversary Ale: Voyage To The Northeast Quadrant (5 Malts, 5 Hops,
5% ABV)
Recipe designed by 2nd Shift Supervising Brewer Ivan Dedek, Shmaltz’s second
offering for Star Trek 50 harnesses a crisp, clean malt character showcased by the
use of light Munich malts and brewer’s maze. The aroma is accented by fresh citrus
fruits such as lemon and lime with subtle notes of white wine. The crisp malts and
fruity aromas are elevated by maintaining a mild bitterness allowing each selected
ingredient to offer its individual qualities without being overshadowed by any
single ingredient. With 5 malts, 5 hops and 5% ABV, Voyage To The Northeast Quadrant
is the perfect brew for any beer lover to toast the 50th Anniversary of such an
iconic piece of popular culture.
