NYC Premiere of Beer Hunter Movie Tonight (June 11th)

UPDATED: TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR FOR $12.

Jimmy’s No. 43 is happy to be co-hosting the NYC premiere of Beer Hunter (the movie) at Anthology Film Archives tomorrow night! For those who are unaware, Beer Hunter is a documentary on the life of Michael Jackson (not to be confused with the singer), who is largely credited with being the first true craft beer aficionado. His book, The World Guide to Beer, was the first ever to categorize every beer style, and his travels were well documented prior to his untimely death in 2007. His books on beer and whiskey have sold millions of copies, and his 1993 Discovery Channel television series, “The Beer Hunter,” inspired countless brewers and beer enthusiasts and literally helped shape the course of the craft brewing revolution sweeping the world.

Those clips have now been assembled in this documentary, which we’ll be celebrating alongside Beer Sessions Radio™, Seth Wright of Beer Nation, John Holl (editor, All About Beer), Tom Acitelli (author, The Audacity of Hops), Steve Hindy of Brooklyn Brewery, and others, TBA.

Doors open at 7 p.m. with complimentary beer and snacks, including:

  • Beer from Brooklyn Brewery, Radiant Pig and Saison Dupont
  • Coach Farm Cheese
  • Slant Shack Jerky
  • Martin’s Prezels
  • More TBA…

All About Beer Magazine will help moderate a Q&A panel after the screening, as well. Tickets are available in advance; a limited number of tickets will be $12 at the door.

We hope you can join us for the premiere of this amazing film.
