Grimm Artisanal Ales (May 2016)

Managed to walk right into a Fantome/Grimm just sitting on the shelf in Queens $23 - keep your eyes peeled

 

Sadly the shop is out of glassware.

I was a bit surprised it didn't link me to etsy...

 

went to the grimm prairie event last night at Bru. It was packed and they tried to keep up but they ran out of glasses at one point and also when I (efficiently, I thought) ordered three beers for me and my friends the bartender rolled his eyes and looked miserable.

Now to the beer. my friends and I split 6 different grimm beers. super spruce was excellent. my favorite of the group we tried. so unique. followed by lucky cloud. that was funky and so good. also tried echoplex, tesseract, vacay and neon lights. Least favorite was neon lights. the beer and company was the best part of the experience by far.

 

Lockyard has been hit or miss lately. I remember a time when I'd always find something great to try there. They also made their food menu a bit smaller.....

 

Yeah Lockyard hasn't updated their Beermenus page since February of last year. I went there for lunch 2 Sundays ago and the only thing that caught my attention were Bell's Two Hearted and Sixpoint Hi-Res. Looks like they're trying to expand on their Cider selection for the summer though which I don't usually drink when I go out. Unfortunately I still haven't made it out to Owl's Head, have been trying to convince my other half to go there but she's not interested

 

Anyone else seeing Cloudbusting popping up on there Beermenus feed? This has gotta be a mistake, right?

 

I saw the same thing, was very confused.

 

I certainly hope not! any cloudbusting that's currently pouring is not endorsed by us.

Probably it's people who are confused and trying to list Lucky Cloud, which is starting to pop up! We're really excited about Lucky Cloud, it's a bit of a new development in our dry hopped sour style.

 

@Grimm_Artisanal_Ales Drinking Tesseract as I type and first time having it. Well done! Never had a beer like it.....

 

When are we going to get a Grimm/Other Half collab, All Juice Everything?

 

Please no, don't ruin Grimm IPAs like that.

 

Half of us can miserably line up 3 hours before release while the other half of you can miserably run from store to store across NYC collecting 1 or 2 can allotments and we'd all get what we want!

 

Maybe it's just me but i've only "been" to one grimm release where there was a two can allotments...

 

@Grimm_Artisanal_Ales are the new brews dropping this week? Can't wait!

 

@scoko

Lucky Cloud this week for sure and it's kinda special imo!

Lightning Fields - No boil, mixed ferm buddha hand collab with Kent Falls - is out in CT this week, and i don't know whether or not the city is getting an allocation.

Vis-a-Vis is a collab with Victory. It's a double decoction pilsner in the vein of their Braumeister Pils series, hopped with the same quantity and types of hops we use for Tesseract. It might show up as soon as wednesday, but I can't say for sure.

Forcefield, a new canned IPA, and Future Perfect, a blackberry/blueberry berliner, should be ready not this week but the following one, with Rubus Rebus (draft only raspberry brett/lacto/sacch sour) and Dreamweapon (draft/canned IPA) to follow soon after. Lots of exciting beers coming up!

 

Is that Vis-a-Vis draft only? Sounds interesting. How strong is it?

 

@gory4d yeah it should be pretty interesting. we absolutely love braumeister pils so we wanted to find out how it would respond to radical american hopping... it's 5% and draft only.

 

Quite excited for the May releases! I see two 4pk's on the way, along with two collab bottles?

 

Just curious as to the size of the batch for the victory collab? And is this beer being distributed under victory's umbrella?
