Grimm of the Future

True, but we saw 10-12 a can last time as well from other places. The point I was making was that this will continue to happen until they either produce more (unlikely given the whole gypsy situation) or land a brick and mortar--neither of these scenarios seem likely to happen soon. Not knocking the Grimm's at all, they're absolutely crushing it, just saying that for me its gotten too expensive/time consuming to get these cans.

 

I'm not knocking Grimms either, it's absolutely great beer, just on the higher end of what I can afford to drink regularly.

 

I don't think it's Grimm, I think it's the stores.

A few pages back (34, at the bottom) the Grimm BA account was upset at 9th Avenue for charging $12.99 a can.

I agree the prices are high (usually $4-$6 a can) but it's still cheaper than trading for TH/HT/HF.

 

Yea, if the cans are priced where Grimm suggests then they are in line with other packaged IPAs from NYC breweries. Factor in that Grimm has to pay a distributor to get the beer from VA to here, and they probably should be priced a little higher. The gouging is all on the stores, not Grimm.

 

West Side Market on 3rd ave has cans now for $5.99 2pp

 

Sorry, but I wasn't trying to imply it was Grimm at all! And I'll happily pay $18 for a 4 pack, if I'm lucky enough to find one.

 

Their other beer is not marked up as substantially as Grimm. I think they do enjoy the profits but I also think it is their way of spreading cans out. Completely agree though the gouging on Grimm feels exorbitant.

 

Thanks, Obama.

 

we know Blake at hops and hocks. He's a good guy. But $8 to-go is too much. We'll have Union reach out.

 

We work hard to get our price down to $5/can, but whenever we see a place charging a bit more we remind ourselves just how hard it is to make a living in a to-go beer shop.

 

First place that taps echoplex, we'll be there!

 

did you do 60 barrel or 90 barrel this time?

 

90, same as tesseract

 

Just grabbed the last two at Westside Market

 

They went fast at Milk and Hops. A very kind soul had grabbed the last two cans right before I walked in and generously gave me one. Now that's beer karma I will pay forward!

 

Crazy, Milk & Hops never even posted on social media that they were available, as far as I could tell. People are just ready to pounce.

 

Damn. I didn't think they would get it this fast. They got the Tesseract a little late a few weeks ago, which worked out good for me.

 

Yeah, I was just lucky (well, double lucky). Happened to go there yesterday to try Regal Rye and was looking at their Untappd at the right time.

 

I was fortunate enough to get a 4-pack today. Gave the dude at my local shop a can of Baby Diamonds and AGE and he gave me the 4-pack for $10. I ain't mad.

 

FYI: Blake left Hops and Hocks a while ago. You need to contact the new female buyer at the store.
