Bronx Brewery And Slant Shack Jerky Night

How can you possibly make 100-percent grass-fed beef jerky any better? By soaking it in beer, of course! Bronx Pale Ale Jerky is the perfect pairing of SlantShack’s jerky and Bronx Brewery’s Pale Ale (with a bit of Brooklyn-based Tin Mustard and honey thrown in for good measure). If you want a preview of the jerky, which is scheduled to go on sale to the public later this week, high-tale it to Jimmy’s No. 43 on Wednesday, 3/21, from 6-8 p.m. We’ll have free jerky (while supplies last) to pair with Bronx Pale Ale on tap. You buy the beer, we’ll bring the beef!

Beer For Lent Fasters… And Everyone Else!

Once a year, Schlenkerla brewery creates an historic and specific cask beer for the Lenten Season. Happily, we’ll be tapping a cask of Schlenkerla Fastenbier (5.6% ABV) this Thursday, March 15 at 4 p.m. While we hope the supply lasts the weekend, if you want to get your glass, be sure to join us when Jimmy Carbone will be pouring this traditional beer.

The history of Fastenbier starts with Heller-Trum Brewery in Bamberg, Germany. They brew Aecht Schlenkerla Fastenbier once each year for release during Lent. The Fastenbier uses half Schlenkerla smoke malt and half pilsner malt; the finished beer is left completely unfiltered so as to deliver a heartier, more full-bodied beer for the Lent fast (liquida non frangunt ieunum – liquids do not break the fast). Thus, no reason not to try this amazing brew!
