Grimm Artisanal Ales (May 2017)

Nothing at WF Gowanus.

 

i picked up 3 cans at milk and hops astor pl during lunch. 5.99 each. limit 3pp

union sq wf said tomm or fri.

3rd ave westside market got today too, so keep an eye out on IG for Martin's post and reserve yourself a can. 6.99 as usual I'm sure.

 

Shop @ Threes is holding as of 2:15pm...

 

I don't believe this...I went down there at 2 and the place was deserted. Sign on the door said closed for "maintenance" until 5

 

it was locked at 1230pm, but there were 2 ladies inside working. one open the door for me (the one with short hair) and said their sink was broken, so they're closed. they couldn't serve food or drinks. i asked if i can just buy some cans and she said yes. i have no idea what happened after i left. would you like to see a picture of the cans or my receipt? who the fuck lies about dumb shit like beer? come on man, get a life.

 

Jesus Christ you are sensitive.

I just said I can't believe it as in...I can't believe I went all the way there and they were closed. No shot at you. Christ

 

gotcha. saying "i don't belive this" kinda makes it sound like i'm making stuff up. all good dude. not sure why jesus had to get involved. lol

 

Wish I saw that before I went down there. Long haired girl shut me down just now. I can see the cans behind the counter too.

 

that's why i knocked. i saw the cans and 2 girls behind the counter. glad i did. they open at noon, so i thought something was up. glad they opened the door to let me and still allowed me to buy cans.

 

I got there when some plumbers got there to presumably fix the problem, so I asked her face to face but she said no.

 

Why would you post about it and not include that information? Cans are in at Carmine along with Mexican Cake too

 

No big, but I'm a little pissy I wasted my lunch break to waste a MetroCard ride downtown to get nothing and then I got somebody cursing at me to boot. Thank God for Good Beer, I ran there and picked a few Interboro cans up as a consolation.

 

if they let me in, why wouldn't they let other people in? it's not like they know me or anything. plus she said they'd be open in a few hrs. i went at 1230ish.

 

Walked over to Carmine and got 2 cans. $7 each 2pp

 

are they that close to each other?

 

I say we get the pitchforks. Teasing the general public by putting the cans in plain view while closed is UNFORGIVABLE

 

Hah its like a 10 minute walk.

 

It wasn't a bad walk on a nice day like today.

 

Yeah it's a flocculation problem, which can have many contributing factors you mentioned like yeast health/pitch rate, water chemistry, and cold conditioning time/temperature. The ironic thing is that the strains typically used for the style are highly flocculant. Dry hopping during fermentation does affect that flocculation behavior however so i think that's how some of these grey/brown looking beers get made -- dry hopping during primary for biotransformation then neglecting cold conditioning.

 

Tesseract 1pp at WF Chelsea $4.99
