While green beer may be on short supply, Jimmy’s No. 43 will have plenty to make up for it with our Dieu du Ciel weekend, featuring some of the most amazing beer on Earth! Among the offerings will be a $45 prix fixe (one seating at 6 p.m., tickets are available or pay at the door; reservations recommended) along with a la carte offerings from the following: Continue reading Celebrate St. Patrick’s With Dieu Du Ciel

It was a year ago when most of us watched the devastation from afar as a tsunami destroyed much of northeastern Japan. For us at Jimmy’s No. 43, it took several days to find out that our beer friends were okay. However, many brewers were affected by the disaster and we did our best to help them in their time of need.

Now on the rebound, one of our favorite Japanese breweries, Hitachino, has been featured the week leading up to the anniversary of the tsunami. The best part? We had an amazing celebration with Hitachino owner Mr. Toshi Kuichi, who was at Jimmy’s No. 43 with his daughter and some amazing brews (both beer and sake). We were happy to be at the party. If you missed it, check out our Facebook page for a pictorial recap.

It was another successful cook-off at Jimmy’s No. 43 this past weekend, when professional and amateur cooks convened to support Food Systems Network NYC. Best of Show and People’s Choice went to Susan Palmer, The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen, who presented a foie-gras-infused deviled egg with maple and coffee cured duck bacon. Honorable mentions went to Adrian Ashby (for originality with his Duck Donut) and Gina Keatley (best presentation for her duck risotto). There were several write-ups praising the event, including:

• Socially Superlative, and
• Local Bozo.

Our own picture gallery is below. Thanks to all who participated, and congratulations to the winning chefs! Continue reading Second Annual Duck-off Celebrates Quackers

It’s another THEME night at Jimmy’s No. 43, this time in celebration of Purim. From 7-10 p.m. on Wednesday, March 7th, you’re invited to come in costume and partake of the “Jewish Mardi Gras,” in the back room where we’ll have lots of Hamantaschen alongside a prix fixe (or a la carte) menu that will include corned beef brisket, among other delicacies.

This coming Monday, March 5th, we welcome a special guest, all the way from Japan: Mr. Toshiyuki Kiuchi of Kiuchi/Hitachino Brewery.  Mr. Toshi Kiuchi—whose brewery is in the region devastated by the earthquake/tsunami last year—will be in NYC and wants to personally thank all the brewers, reps, chefs and others who participated in last year’s “Brewers4Brewers” Japan benefit at Brooklyn Brewery. Of all the fundraisers that focused on the Hitachino/Kiuchi Brewery, our event raised the most ($12,000).

On tap and in the bottle will be a special selection of Hitachino beers (along with Brooklyn Brewery’s Sorachi Ace), including Three Day Beer, which was how long this batch of beer sat unrefrigerated and untended after the earthquake, allowing for wild yeast to form. Other beers available:

• Hitachino White
• Hitachino, Ginger
• Hitachino, Classic
• Hitachino, Red Rice
• Hitachino, Nipponia (special draft)

Also will be specially made Sake from the region. Mr. Toshi Kiuchi will be at the bar starting around 6 p.m.

Jimmy Carbone remembers how he became involved with the Hitachino brews upon opening Jimmy’s No. 43 in 2005:

“Hitachino White Ale was the hottest thing you could get on draft back then, so we added it along with Red Rice Ale and Hitachino Classic. We worked closely with the American distributor, B United, and met Mr. Toshi Kiuchi twice during those early years. After last year’s tragedy, a couple regulars at the bar who were Japanese natives asked if we could host a fundraiser, which turned into Brewers4Brewers, the single largest fundraiser dedicated to helping breweries in the region. We’re happy that our friendship has allowed for these limited and special taps to be at Jimmy’s No. 43.”
