    Someone's got their panties in a bunch. Its an opinion, one which everyone has on this site. Plus its America and we have free speech, so I'll say whatever the hell I want.

    I would love to get a bottle, and since I'm out of town, I'm sure I'll probably miss it. If I do come across a bottle but its $29.99 like people have mentioned, I will unfortunately have to pass because I will never spend my money on a beer that pricey especially since I've never had it before. What's so hard to understand? And you obviously care or you wouldn't have said anything about it.

    I kicked a keg of bb DN on Friday in just over an hour, closely followed by Tesseract in about 1 hour 15mins. Was great to have access to those beers in Rochester. Nothing but brilliant feedback on all 5 of the Grimm beers I had on tap.

    That explains why I've seen some of your bottles for sale in the Seattle area. My wife brought me a Colorfield from Boston, but I had no clue you distributed out here.

    Does Grimm get sent to Staten Island at all? I Would love to pick some up there to go with the new glass I got at EBF

    There's a pretty good bar called Adobe Blues that carries us sometimes. I don't know of any bottle or growler shops but I'd love to hear about it if there are.

    Thanks for answering here and on twitter this AM. I will check out the store that Adobe Blues recommended and let you know.

    It's funny seeing BA double negative selling from 13.99 up to 29.99 in the conversations above. Like I said before, there's really no pattern for how beer is priced around NYC.

    We got some up here in Syracuse and I was able to pick up a few this week. I think that $14 for a bomber on BA stout is more than fair; especially so considering the high cost of doing business in NY. While I wont be drinking them for awhile, I will pick up 1 or 2 more if I happen to see them in the wild over the coming weeks.

    Pricing has been all over the place in the last year for BA stuff but I think that people are just about tired of every new release that hits the shelves going up by $5 just because they can.

    Got to try the double negative on tap while I was in Brooklyn. Very tasty stuff!

    Anybody see the Gradient around still? I know that it's listed a few places on BeerMenus, but if anyone knows of a place above Midtown selling bottles of it, that'd be great. Thanks!

    How far above midtown? If you can make the trek down, Beer Culture (45th betw 8th and 9th) still has Gradient bombers.

    Not uptown, but Stinky BKLYN in Chelsea has a bunch of BA Double Negative and Gradient around. Not sure on price but the BA DN was $21

    Any word on Telekinesis?

    I had a bottle this past Thursday and really enjoyed. I believe that hops used really compliment the sourness. Very good brew.

    I'm wondering the same thing. I saw the Foodtown in Yonkers got bottles, but they haven't seemed to show up anywhere around the city yet.

    I know they're in Westchester (Half Time in Mamaroneck), but that's about it.

    Rochester got Telekinesis, so it's puzzling if it's not in NYC at this point.

    @JoeGrimm

    Any update on the bottles of Telekinesis? Or even kegs for that matter. I thought they were supposed to hit shelves in the city last week.

    In addition to Telekinesis, do you know when NYC can expect to see Forcefield? Sounds incredible...

    Hazy golden, juicy VT-style double IPA brewed with tons of Citra and Jarrylo. Waves of fruity hop goodness with pronounced notes of passionfruit, melon, citrus, strawberry, and finishing on pear. First wort hopped, hop bursted, hop standed, and dry hopped twice. This beer has the same base as Tesseract — but slightly stronger and with a different hop blend. Brewed with friends on Staten Island.
