Grimm Artisanal Ales (2020)

Agreed. Bought my 3rd 6pk of it this weekend. I rarely buy repeat packs that much in a month and it's just perfect for this hot humid city weather.

 

Picked up Lambo Doors today in NJ. It's thinner and less flavorful than what I remember last year. I don't think it's worth $21-22...$15 at the most if anything.

I don't understand why it tastes so much different to me than last year.

 

Afterimage, lambo door, and splish all available at the brewery. @Grimm_Artisanal_Ales you spoil us. Thank you

 

Just ordered 4 bottles of No Hands Now and a pack of Grimm Lite

 

Enjoying a can of Seconds right now, perfect beer when you've got housework to do and want to avoid an accidental buzz, great taste without consequences!

 

Picked up Grimm lite at my local whole foods. @Grimm_Artisanal_Ales did you consider packing Grimm lite in a box wrap like five boroughs and sloop do with their core brands? I just think it more appealing to consumers. My brother tells me he sells a ton of their core and he thinks the box wrap help sell the product. And do you ever see yourself packaging more 6 packs?

 

box wrap does look nice for a sixer. I don't see us doing any other sixpacks besides Grimm Lite though, and summer's winding down...

 

Curious, how do the box packs make them look more appealing? I don't think I've personally bought any boxed wrap pack other than maybe Pseudo Sue/King Sue in the last year. Most seem to sit on shelves where I go often. Having to look extra hard for (if there is) a can date on box, & consumers can't break up packs and try.

 

DUAL CRISIS: NYC BREWERY CAUSES EARLY ONSET S.A.D OUTBREAK

 

I could see it being appealing to someone who was new to craft beer or doesn't often drink it but wants to try things here and there. It has a familiarity to those who often drink more macro beer

 

I gotta say, I’ve never been browsing at any of my local distros and said to myself, “damn that box looks nice and sleek. I have to get that.”

 

Maybe but breweries for example like Sloop, Sixpoint and Five Boroughs seem to have bigger distribution and some consumers are likely more familiar with their products at restaurants, bars.
Anyways back to Grimm, had a fresh Afterimage can last night tasted great! Canned 8/4 and picked it up at Triboro Bev 8/8. Nice getting fresh cans of Grimm in Queens.

 

Vitamin D is a real deal thing... The winter blues sucks, plus taking hit to immune system sucks extra these days.

 

how is parking in the area?

looking to go Saturday around opening (noon)

 

On weekends, there tends to be plenty of street parking nearby. Weekdays it can be harder depending on time of day.

 

Very happy to see the Whole Foods out by me in Suffolk county getting more can options lately.

Very sad to see an empty spot in the line of 4-packs and a price tag for Afterimage right below it.

 

This batch of Lumen is on point but I was super disappointed with Hyperfocus Galaxy, it has that extremely vegetal/earthy off flavor I've seen in other Galaxy beers lately. I loved the first batch of it but I ended up passing on cans this time, I am sad because I was excited for the first rebrew of it in a long time.

 

In that case, stay away from the Kites are Fun, It was so extremely vegetal/earthy off flavor that I could barely drink a can. Hyperfocus was a relief after Kites.

 

I haven't had it yet, and even after this review I still look to try it.

I'm glad you posted this though because @Grimm_Artisanal_Ales has always been transparent in a refreshing way about some aspects of the industry. I'd love to hear their thoughts on whatever is going on Galaxy, to whatever degree they can be honest. I've heard from OtHer brewers that it's considerably harder to select Galaxy hops and know what to look for when picking lots.

 

Came here to see if anyone else noticed this. I LOVED the first batch so I was pumped to try pick some up again. Grabbed a can at St. Gambrinus and its the first Grimm can Ive ever dumped. Super astringent and earthy.
