Grimm Artisanal Ales (March 2016)

Ordered glassware 2/16. Just was wondering if it'll ship soon? I know the order said it'll take a while cause you guys are busy, just wondering!

 

Hi Eric -- we're out of town on a brewing trip this week. We packed and shipped 50 boxes of glassware this weekend but we're still only halfway through the february orders... I don't remember seeing your name among the ones we shipped out. We're only two people and the brewing and the rest of the business has to come first. That's why on our web store it says we'll ship within six weeks. We'll definitely get your order out by the end of the month. Thanks for your patience and understanding -- for now, we personally pack and ship every single order.

 

So am I right in thinking that the problems with MBDN, now extend past the Western NY portion of the batch?

 

Oh it's all good! Was just wondering because my friend ordered his right before mine and got his order. Thanks for all you do!

 

I'll be in NYC this Thursday through Sunday. Are there any opportunities to try any Grimm beers on tap or even possibly purchase some in stores around town? Coming in from Texas so would love to try some while I'm there.

After back reading it looks like I'm just missing a new release, bummer.

 

Plenty of bars around the city should have their stuff on tap. Beermenus will be your best guide. Grimm sours seem to be the easiest to find, especially this far from release. I haven't been keeping up but it seems a new release is imminent so you may catch that too.

 

You are actually hitting the release perfectly. Cans will be hitting store Wednesday throughout the weekend and beers should be tapped around town also. Cans are pretty tough to come by just keep an eye on beer menus, draft is much easier.

 

Awesome, I must have misread, sounded like they were hitting next week. Thanks for the good news.

So what bars should I put on my list as likely targets to get some? I'm staying on the Lower East Side and will be hitting up Fool's Gold, Top Hops and Proletariat.

Will definitely keep on eye out on Beermenus as well.

 

Its probably easier to just follow the beers themselves on beermenus, and then you'll see which bars tap it

 

Printed cans rather than stickers? i guess we'll be seeing this one again!

 

The recent cannings have used shrinkwrap labels, I'm guessing these will be the same. That said, I do hope this one keeps coming around, probably my favorite of their IPAs.

 

My comment was based on the picture above. Doesn't look like stickers on a silver can this time.

 

Yeah, difficult to tell from the photo. I hope that is the case, Zonk!

 

The past few cans have all been complete-can wraps though, you couldn't really see the silver can on those either. Look at Cloudbusting:

 

Yeah, that's what I meant by shrinkwrap. Not familiar with the actual terminology, but the past two cannings have used those types of wrap labels.

 

tesseract also. the only one with sticker was the first afterimage iirc

 

Yea that's right. Pulse Wave had a sticker too, then they switched over.

 

ah yes, i forget about pulse wave because thats the only one ive missed out on thus far, as evidenced by the absence of a sticker on the side of my beer fridge

 

Ha, I did the same thing. Afterimage label peeled off and stuck to my CPU at work. Did you remove the sleeves too? (I hope we're not frightening the Grimm's here haha).
