With the official launch of spring less than a week away, it’s time for those April Sours to take center stage at Jimmy’s. Afterall, nothing wakes up our palates from winter’s heavy, stronger beers quite like refreshing, food-friendly sour and lambic beers! On Saturday, April 16, from noon until 5 p.m., Jimmy’s No. 43 and Beermenus will team up to feature some of the top boutique importers—Shelton Brothers, B United, and 12 Percent—alongside some of the best, select American sour beers. Traditional lambics and flemish reds from Belgium along with Berliner Weisse from Germany now have spawned sour/wild yeast beers in America, Italy and Canada.
Included with the expo-style small batch, new and classic sour beers will be food pairings, including local cheese, charuterie and chocolate. Our top pairing? Charcuterie and Flemish sour: Sam Barbieri's head cheese with vintage Rodenbach! The menu below offers a full day of eating and drinking. Click here for details on special pricing for tickets!
