It’s almost here: NYC Beer Week returns Friday, February 19th, through Sunday, February 28th, and Jimmy’s No. 43 is once again the unofficial “clubhouse” for the week. We’ll have tastings, featured SMASH (State Malt and State Hops) beers made especially for NYC Beer Week, and ticketed events throughout the 10-day event celebrating the local beer scene.

This ticketed event (limited seating), will include the following beers (subject to last minute substitution):
-
