Grimm Artisanal Ales (May 2016)

It hit the south shore yesterday. It should hit the usual suspects on the north shore Tuesday. Hopefully they'll get bottles and cans this time and not either or.

 

Damn, cats outta the bag about M&H Chelsea. Was a goldmine for a while but I guess people finally caught on

 

it wasn't really a secret.. they just don't use beermenus

 

AI lasted for nearly 4 days...

 

cans or on tap?

 

Cans. Same for Tessearct too -- prob lasted 3 days. This is why I was in agreement with the other poster about blowing up spots on here. I could walk in to my local M&H shop, grab my two cans and bottle, and be on my way. They don't use BM for Grimm for a reason. Now you blast a location an hour before they open and everyone on here reading is prob already on their way. I sound saltier than I am bc I'm on three hours of sleep, but I prob won't get cans now unless I mad dash over there this afternoon which isnt happening b-c of work

 

I get the frustration, but its already all over Milk and Hops twitter.

 

I could have written the exact thing. And you're right about their other releases. They actually asked me if I wanted any. Nice people in there. Both locations.

 

Milk & Hops Astor sold out of both last release day of.

 

Swung by WF Chelsea. They don't have their shipment in yet.

 

And I was able to pick some up thanks to somone posting on here.

 

I watched the last bottle get pulled off shelf as I was standing at the shelf wall looking for it.

Anyways, off to WF CC. Wish me luck!

 

haha you're right some people have no clue. Forcefield was dry hopped three times and used 5 pounds of hops per barrel. someday people will understand what different hops actually taste and smell like, and get that hoppiness =/= bitterness. We especially get this with beers like psychokinesis and lucky cloud where people are like "muh this tastes like pineapple and guava, orange peel, piney, but it's not hoppy at all for a dry hopped sour 3 stars" LOL

 

Ugh Psycho was so good.

I really wish there were beer classes offered where someone would sit me down and have me taste beers with each of the different hops and malts profiles and take me through tasting the differences.

 

Good luck!

Let us know how it goes at CC. I have a conference call now, which should be done in half an hour. Hopefully it will still be there!

 

Line is about 20 deep. 2/1 limits

 

WF CC. Got here at 12 and the line is already 12+ deep

 

Have you looked into Top Hops' classes?

 

Top Hops does many interesting classes. I've never been, since they usually run about $70, and haven't had the urge to do it that badly, but the descriptions of the different classes seem great.

Last summer, I held onto a can or two of consecutive OH releases, and ended up having 5 or 6 single hop IPAs at once. Did a tasting with all of them. That was a nice self-taught lesson

 

Gross. Think everything is accounted for?
