Grimm Artisanal Ales (May 2016)

Raspberry sour according to their site.

 

Figures-- name made me think of Founder's Rubaeus. Looking forward to that one!

 

Anyone know if this is still in stock at BK Harvest Market? Was gonna swing by there after work.

 

I'm gonna say no just so you don't go because fuck that place. Don't spend your money there.

 

Just stumbled upon a market that's not on BeerMenus with a case each of FP, DW and FF on the shelves. Cans $5 a pop. Hallelujah

 

Very funny

 

Just popped a can of Dreamweapon. Totally unexpected flavor profile from a Grimm. So dank ... would have thought it was an OH beer. Again, it might benefit from a few days of mellowing out.

 

Dreamweapon reminds me of Treehouse Bright, delicious.

 

I still don't understand how people (with jobs apparently?) have the time to hop from shop to shop during a weekday to pick up beers. I'm too busy working my ass of to make a living to run around to stores grabbing beer.

Grimm makes great beer. This shit has just gotten ridiculous. I'll stick to the "shelf turds".

 

Yeah, can I get an application to one of these places that allows u to be on social media all day and then sprint out the door to go snatch up u cans of expensive beer? And then store that beer the rest of the day until I commute home?

 

Today was the first time I grabbed Grimm cans while at work. I just so happened to be running an errand for my company near columbus circle so I popped into Bread & Honey. But I do agree it's a little ridiculous hearing people going from shop to shop to shop.

 

Consider myself lucky for being an overworked desk drone. The highlight of my day, is setting my MOC status to "Be Right Back" and hitting the subway to grab some cans. Stick it to the 1%.

 

Was able to snag a Dreamweapon can tonight. Popped it immediately. I really liked it. Way more than Forcefield. Awesome lasting hoppy bitterness. Don't know if I'll be doing more can hunting, but I'll definitely be snagging this on tap over the next few weeks.

 

Most days I'm able take a lunch break, hop on the subway, and hit up a store or two to grab beer. I'm out of the office for an hour at most. I imagine many people can do this.

 

Get a different job? I would never be able to work a job that didn't offer me freedom to come & go. I've worked at a job that doesn't treat their employees like adults. It sucks.

 

Sometimes you just get lucky. I had a weird work schedule yesterday that allowed me to pick up 2 Forcefield cans at a local bar and by dumb luck, my afternoon work meeting was near City Hops so I picked up Dreamweapon as well and tried Vis a Vis on tap. My normal work schedule would never allow me to do that.

 

Dreamweapon is not my favorite. Solid IPA but def not top tier. I agree with everyone else that this doesn't feel like your traditional Grimm style IPA.

 

Uptown baby!

 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................
