The Week In Beer: Green Flash, New Beer Premieres, April Sours

As the home of interesting and unusual beers, Jimmy’s No. 43 is proud to have an entire month devoted to sours! This week we have some really great beers in house that we’ll be rotating through (come often and taste them all!), beginning with tonight’s Tuesday Tasting featuring Green Flash Brewing Co. of San Diego. Brews available include:

  • Serrano Stout, an Imperial Stout (8.8% ABV) made with Serrano Chiles
  • Barley Wine (10.9% ABV)
  • Palate Wrecker, a super hoppy DIPA (9.5% ABV)
  • East Village Pils (named after the west coast East Village in San Diego; 5.3% ABV)
  • Hop Head Red IPA, a dry-hopped IPA (7% ABV)
  • And more!

We’ll also be tapping our very first keg from Element Brewing Company (MA): the Extra Special Oak, an oak-aged Imperial ESB (7.8% ABV). Another Jimmy’s No. 43 premiere is our first keg of Blue Mountain (VA), which will be a limited barrel series called “Dirty Belgian.”

Other cool beers we’ll be rotating through next week include:

  • Peekskill’s Eastern Standard IPA (the cask version will go on for this week’s Thursday Tap™)
