Thursday Tap and Meet the Brewer - Trois Dames

We're pleased to announce a special version of this week's Thursday Tap at Jimmy's No. 43. From 5-7pm on January 31, Jimmy will be hosting the New York debut of Switzerland's Brasserie Trois Dames. In addition, brewer Raphaël Mettler will be there to talk about beer, wine, cheese, fondue, and Freddie Mercury.

The beers:

• L'Amoureuse Rouge (bottles) - brewed with 80% malt and 20% Gamaret grape must and aged in wine barrels for several months. Secondary fermentation is spontaneous due to wild yeast and bacteria on the grape skins.
• L'Amoureuse Blanc (bottles) - brewed with 80% malt and 20% Chasselas grape must and aged in wine barrels for several months.
• Grande Dame Oud Bruin (draft) - a sour brown ale in the Flemish tradition

There is also an "Oyster Shuck and Talk" to benefit Slow Foods in the back room from 6:30-8pm so if you're feeling ambitious, why not do both events. Note that the Oyster talk is a ticketed event and tickets can be purchased here. Oysters will also be available at the bar for purchase and the Thursday Tap is a pay-as-you-go event.

Jimmy's No. 43 is located at 43 E. 7th Street.
