Grimm Artisanal Ales (2021)

Mocha Pop! is a nice tasty treat. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but the sweetness from the lactose and bitter from the coffee (and cacao?) balance out the sourness nicely.

 

Any word on maximum intrigue and how sabro-forward it is?

 

A year later excited to finally try Stratified Image!

Oracle Deck from last week was great. I've always found Nelson interesting, but Grimm has done a nice job of making Nelson hopped beers in a way that other breweries haven't.

 

So many bangers coming out from these guys lately.

 

I've found Citra+Nelson to be a really underrated hop combo. I'm glad to hear it's tasty; I'll pick some up later!

 

They have them at 209 station, if you want to pay $7+tax for a single. Just snagged one for academic purposes. I really do need to get over to Williamsburg one of these days and load up.

 

Miss 209. Maybe not the low cost option but loved grabbing a couple beers from there and going to the park. Solid food and owner is sound too!

 

speaking of Sabro, Four Ever Rain Bow is killer. Whatever coconut flavor you’re used to getting with sabro is pretty much non existent here. Either that or it mixes with guava in such a perfect way that it tastes like @Grimm_Artisanal_Ales invented a new delicious fruit.

 

That sounds fantastic.

Oracle Deck is the easiest drinking, softest dipa I've had in a while. It isn't the most complex, ol but it's perfectly drinkable

 

My order of Stratified Image arrived in Northern Virginia yesterday. Awesome beer! Been missing Grimm since they stopped brewing down here. I will just note the coincidence (?) that weed was legalized in NY on the day I got this. Super dank!

 

Pulled up the old 'gram this morning to see Cloudbusting triumphantly returning. My joy? Immeasurable.

 

So many hits lately. Today's Special Extra Citra was fantastic. It was low abv and juicy without what I can only describe as a soapiness in so many hopped up light beers.

Magnetic compass is outstanding. The flavor is pretty pungent and it drinks with plenty of heft.

 

ARPA 586 might be my favorite from this series. The finish reminds me of peach rings. There's a very pleasant bitterness. It drinks a little light but in a way that's refreshing.

 

Psychedelic Gardener and Cloudbusting #8 have been amazing. Very distinctively Grimm.

 

Both ARPA beers have been dope, very much looking forward to this one.

 

heads up everybody, we're releasing a new spontaneous fermentation beer today! More to come soon on that front

 

great beers coming out of Grimm lately. seconded re: TS:EC and the arpa. the carrot cake pop is also super weird and cool. crazy color too. i don't love every pop but when they hit they are so good.

 

I think if I stuck with Grimm I could drink exclusively 7.0% or less

 

yes that is always my preference (boat is my all time favorite). arpa has that same nice cerealy thing going on.


but look at the color on the carrot cake!!
