Grimm Artisanal Ales (May 2017)

Hey @Grimm_Artisanal_Ales, do you know when Cloudbusting #4 will be coming out?

 

We're all set to deliver Cloudbusting #4 and Super Shine (dry hopped gose) to Union on Tuesday, so if all goes according to plan we could see them available wednesday or thursday.

 

Just picked up two bottles of Mango Pop! at WF CC. I thought I had missed out on this one, so I'm glad I found. Gonna crack a bottle with a friend of mine over lunch.

 

Whoever said this beer tastes like a mango lassi was spot on. Super delicious. Glad I picked up a second bottle.

 

apologies if I missed it, but are these draft only, or is it cans/bottles?

 

Still some Half Tone at Eataly for $29.80/4pk. Can't imagine why they aren't flying off the shelves.

 

Lol. Halftone is delicious, but even the $5.75/can I paid was steep for me. $30 for a 4pk is just laughable even in the current market. Eataly prices though.

Cloudbusting/Super Shine is as excited I've been for a release in awhile.

 

It's not just Eataly, Wholefoods which has some of the cheapest beer prices in the city was $5.99 a can. It's getting a little out of hand.

 

TFW you earn $1.50 on a four pack and your retailer decides to earn $20 on that same 4 pack... that's just not right

 

I dunno guys, the price for these cans seems alright to me. I rarely find Grimm on 16oz pours anywhere (usually it's 12 or 14 ounces), and the price is always 8 and up plus a tip for your barkeep. And perhaps most importantly, it's cheaper than a whiskey habit!

 

I've consistently paid $4.99 at WF, FWIW..

 

Yeah, only with Halftone did it increase. I wonder if it's Halftone-specific or the shape of things to come.

 

I always loved the Cloudbursting can.

$6/can has felt like the norm for Grimm for me for a while. I know I'm guilty of this myself, but I wonder if we can ever get through a monthly thread without the price of cans coming up.

 

Had that Half Tone last night, tasted incredible. While most other beers can be described with lazy superlatives (juice/tropical) when I drink a Grimm beer I feel unworthy of it almost; I need to take a class or something to train my palate so I can pick out all the subtle nooks and crannies of flavors and properly describe it for people and myself.

 

Not a chance. Cloudbusting is starting to show up on beermenus!

 

Still expensive relative to anything else on the market except SingleCut (which now has regularly available cans in the tap room for $4-$5 a can depending on how much you buy). Couple that with their IPAs flying off the shelves and being able to buy a single 4pk at a place is almost impossible now, it makes the pricing a bit much for me. Doesn't stop me from getting my 2 can limit at my usual spot when I can but I won't go out of my way if I can't make it or strike out due to timing.

Obviously it is not the Grimm's fault about that stupid Eataly pricing and I think these issues will go down once they open the brewery.

 

Everytime you buy a 4-pack at Eataly, Mario Batali gets another pair of Crocs.

 

WF Bryant park didn't get their shipment yet checked at noon

 

Super Shine is out there too.

 

Suspiciously quiet in here on a release week...
