On Friday, June 1st Nolita Mart & Espresso Bar will be holding a triple tasting event from 6-8pm. Reps from Abita Beer, McClure’s Pickles and Artisanal Cheeses will be there to show off their goods. Refreshing beer/root beer, delicious pickles and chips and amazing cheeses; I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the start of the summer.

Brewer’s Description:

Freshchester Pale Ale

One of the first beers I brewed after moving out to California to begin my brewing education was a Pale Ale. This version is a true testament to the influences the Wild West had on my early brewing. My Pale Ale is loaded with US-grown Cascade, Crystal, and Columbus hops, so be sure to take a good sniff to enjoy their robust aromas before taking your first sip.

SENSORY PROFILE An aromatic beer with notes of citrus, pine, a noticeable bitterness, and a touch of malty backbone to help balance it out.

FOOD PAIRING Foods with a spicy kick are a great match, as the bitterness of the hops will help to cool the palate before your next bite. Mexican food and pizza are natural matches. Hops: Columbus, Cascade, Crystal Malts: Domestic 2-row, English Crystal Malt IBU: 35 ABV: NA OG: 14 Plato Type of Glass: Other

Brewer’s Description:

Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner

A Dry Hopped American Rye Pilsner

Obey the siren song of the mythological Coney Island Mermaid. Four spicy hops flow into seven golden malts. Perfect as a distraction, or equally enchanting as a parade towards deeper delights. When beer tastes this good and you don’t have scurvy, you don’t need a lime.

Dave’s Gourmet Pasta Sauces

Dave’s Gourmet Pasta Sauces come from the mind of Dave Hirschkop, the creator of the Insanity Hot Sauce; the only product to be banned for being too hot. With his pasta sauces, instead of concentrating on heat, he focused on organic and all-natural homemade tastes. Dave’s Gourmet line of pasta sauce flavors include Masala Marinara Pasta Sauce(NASFT Gold Award winner for Outstanding Pasta Sauce 2010), Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce(NASFT Gold Award winner for Outstanding Pasta Sauce 2009), Organic Roasted Garlic & Sweet Basil Pasta Sauce, Organic Red Heirloom Pasta Sauce, Organic Spicy Heirloom Marinara Pasta Sauce, and Wild Mushroom Pasta Sauce.

We are currently carrying Dave’s Gourmet’s Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce and Organic Roasted Garlic & Fresh Basil Pasta Sauce for $8.50 each.

About Dave’s Gourmet

Dave Hirschkop owned a restaurant called Burrito Madness in Maryland that was frequented by unruly drunk customers. After he found that one way to quiet down his louder inebriated patrons was super hot hot sauce, he started his own line of hot sauces. He made waves with his Insanity Hot Sauce, which won an award for the hottest sauce at the National Fiery Foods Show and became the only product to be banned for being too hot. After selling his restaurant, Dave created Dave’s Gourmet specializing in homemade tastes from popcorn and pasta sauces to his signature hot sauces. Dave’s sells spices, salts, a couple of mustard and a jelly, popcorn and nuts along with the full lines of hot sauces and pasta sauces.
