Grimm Artisanal Ales (August 2018)

Where the stouts at? I just domed a bomber of last year's Sumi cacao and it tasted like liquid dark chocolate.

 

Sunroof is awesome stuff, love that Grimm is now doing APAs in cans. I'm praying that CAPSLOCK makes it to cans some day, that's my favorite Grimm hoppy beer and definitely my favorite APA.

 

Hopefully in the many barrels in the taproom.

 

Any idea what's coming out this Saturday? Website doesn't have the release up yet.

 

I just get concerned with the word "hazy" in the description, that a bunch of the #hazebros show up.

 

looking forward to that one. the moutere hops remind me of enigma. finbacks recent oscillation featured them and it was stellar.

 

@Grimm_Artisanal_Ales is it safe to assume this is somewhat of a retake on Cloudbusting? The Moutere replaces you Wai-tai and Waimea from the prior version, so different malt bill, change in dry hopping, or yeast strain in Cloud Landing? Either way, it looks delightful. Speaking of Cloudbusting, can you get tshirts or glasses with this logo as it is one of the best graphics to ever bless a beer can?

 

#hazebros and #linelyfe are near extinction, no need to worry.

 

Friendly reminder folks- No L train between Broadway Junction in Brooklyn and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan this weekend.

 

I noticed that the IG post has pushed the cans release to noon but the taproom continues to open at 10am. Does that mean if we get there anytime before noon we will have to wait until then to get cans?

 

Cloud Landing doesn't taste anything like Cloudbusting to me. That one was like drinking light white grape juice, this tastes much more new-england-y than their usual DIPAs. The artwork reminds me of BFF but nothing like that one either. It's super good, wish I got more than just one 4 pack.

ps. was there at 12:30ish on a Saturday with my almost 5 year old and she didn't seem at all out of place, there was at least one other kid that I saw there.

 

Cloud Landing has American hops in the mix. Cloudbusting is all NZ hops.
The malt/yeast base is similar.
"Cloud" is Grimm code for New Zealand.

 

My friend gave me a can of cloud landing. Thought it was absolutely delicious. So far, I haven't been disappointed by ANYTHING I've had from the new brewery.

 

Cloud landing uses pacific northwest hops early in the brewing process, and then is finished with Moutere and Motueka from New Zealand. it's a bit of a hybrid. as @Munchrat said the word "cloud" in our names usually indicates the presence of New Zealand varietals.

 

Awesome, thanks for the enlightenment! Grabbed some Cloud Landing Saturday early afternoon, and it does not disappoint.

How about Today's Special Cloud (w/Nelson)?

 

@Grimm_Artisanal_Ales any tentative date for afterimage?

 

that sounds delicious.

tentatively, not this weekend but the following weekend.

This weekend, we hope to offer Today's Special Extra Citra & Spiritual Consultant (a new 7.5% IPA feat. Mosaic and Rakau). We're sold out of Gravity of Smile, 3 cases left of Solar Return, and we have ~30 cases of Cloud Landing left so that will likely not make it to the weekend.

 

Thanks for the info and speedy reply!

 

Was surprised to see this in Whole Foods just now. Sterling holdovers?

 

yeah, i'm surprised too. This came out last month. Whole Foods seems to be getting weird lately... so glad we have our own spot now.
