Jeweler teams with brewer for Father’s Day promotion
Northeastern Fine Jewelry is partnering with local craft brewery Shmaltz Brewing Company to offer a gift and experience package to its shoppers this Father’s Day.
Albany, N.Y.--Northeastern Fine Jewelry is partnering with local craft brewery Shmaltz Brewing Company to offer a gift and experience package to its shoppers this Father’s Day.
The store is giving customers who spend $129 at Northeastern Fine Jewelry from now through Saturday a voucher that can be redeemed for two tickets to Shmaltz’s “Hoppy Father’s Day” party on Sunday, which will feature a selection of Shmaltz’s He’brew lineup of beers as well as food and live music.
Shoppers also will be able to take home two of the brewer’s most popular beers--a six pack each of Genesis Dry Hopped Session Ale and Messiah Nut Brown Ale.
For those who can’t make the party, the vouchers can be redeemed for a tasting for two and a tour at Shmaltz’s brewery in Clifton Park, N.Y., as well as the pair of six packs.
“A good craft beer paired with a nice watch or set of cuff links is a winning combination that any dad would love,” said Ray Bleser, owner and founder of Northeastern Fine Jewelry. “We look forward to partnering with Shmaltz Brewing Company to celebrate dads this Father’s Day.”
