There’s one week remaining to get your sour on during April Sours at Jimmy’s No. 43, and we have several cool events to satisfy the tartest loving of taste buds!
Tonight (4/23) and next Tuesday (4/30) at 7:30 p.m., we’ll be hosting our weekly Tuesday Tasting ($20 at the door), where you’ll sample from wild beers (tonight) and B. United sours (next week). Tonight’s line-up with guest beer guide Mike Lovullo includes:
- Bruery De Lente
- Green Flash Rayon Vert
- Element ES Oak
- Hanssens Geuze
- Haandbryggeriet Norwegian Wood
- BFM Abbaye St. Bon Chien
Speaking of B. United, we’ll be pairing their beers with Guest Chef Patti Jackson’s menu for our famous April Sours Prix Fixe Dinner next Monday, April 29th at 7 p.m. Part of our Monday Night Dinner Series, a $45 ticket (plus tax, gratuity and service charge at ticket site) will get you (subject to change/beer availability):
- Chicken Liver Pate, Rhubarb Relish paired with Hanssens Gueuze
- Smoked Mackerel Salad with Cress and Rye Crumbs paired with Alvinne Wild Undressed
- Burnt-flour Pasta with Duck Sausage and White Beans paired with Vapeur, Vintage
- Braised Bacon, Braised Spring Greens and Ramps paired with Vapeur Cochonne 1996
- Savory Cheese Tart, Fig and Cardamon Toast paired with Alvinne Cuvee Freddy
And if a full dinner is too much for you, a handful of tickets remain for this Saturday’s (4/27) Bacon and Sour Belgians, a monthly devotional for the bacon congregation. We typically pair three different types of bacon from the East Village Meat Market with 10+ samples of Belgian beers. In keeping with our wild theme, this month’s offering will be all sour beers (TBA). The bar opens at noon with seating/sampling from 1-3 p.m.
So, whatever your schedule and your budget, we’ve got plenty of interesting and unusual sour beers to get your through until the real spring shows up in May! Join us (and regular bar/restaurant service is always available for those who prefer their options a la carte).
