Grimm Artisanal Ales (May 2017)

As of early this morning, WF Chelsea had 4-packs and bottles on shelf, no limits.

 

no rainbow dome bottles last night...

 

City Hops doing 4-pack of Grimm cans, what a time to be alive!

 

Anyone tried Halftone yet?

 

Everything @ WF Williamsburg, 2 cans PP.

 

WF Gowanus has plenty of everything

 

Almost positive they had it this morning, but I only glanced quickly so I might have mistaken it and Crystal Field.

Anyways, WF 57th has all 3 bottles. They never got any cans in, though.

Ugh, I never even knew this place existed since apparently they don't post much on beermenus. I was just at the WF at 57th, too.

 

Yes. It's great. One of their best.

 

I picked up a warm can of Afterimage and a 4 pack of Magnetic Tape today, but none of the freshies. Womp womp.

 

After Image? Yikes, that must be an absolute malt bomb by now. Can't believe that was still around!

 

Halftone by the 4pk at wf uws. The beer guy is very helpful, asked him about Dome and Crystal, and he went "downstairs" to get some. Also Vacay and Psychokinesis available (got some more). Bag full of goodies...

 

It was warm and two months old when I bought it, so I wasn't really expecting much. But it drank very well. Not a hop explosion, but tasty all the same. I am of the school of thought that good IPAs should be able to hold up for two months; I've had plenty that do.

 

Stopped by WF Gowanus on the way home, lots of Half Tone, Rainbow, Mango there as of about 6PM.

 

Yes - Actually three separate times I have picked up Super Going at one of the bottle shops I hit in the city...I would love to find more of it, big fan and the SG was Awesome - well done!

Gave up on Grimm awhile back; stumbled upon some Halftime, and figured the convenience factor was enough to warrant a purchase. So, I did, and it was nicely bitter and resinous with grape/passion surroundings. In brevity, it was predominately pine and bitter to start; however, letting it sit triggered an explosion of intricacies, as the hops opened up: orange, citrus, melon, and even dug up some faint (vanilla) strawberry in the distance/room temperature. Was quite impressed with the feel @ 6%; extremely well balanced, and appropriate carb.

Always found the sours to be introductory, but I suppose I’ll give them another go-around

 

*Half Tone

 

I've really enjoyed the Idaho 7 draft. Killer beer, beautiful orange haze, delicious, nicely bitter. Even though it's a single hop I've never had before, I think I could identify it blind as Grimm. Which is very cool. A consistent, recognizable style is hard to achieve in any field of endeavor.

 

I could see giving up on @Grimm_Artisanal_Ales in our area, simply because they are extremely difficult to locate, and with the variety of really solid craft brews within an arms reach - one can only wait so long to simply try out a beer...That said, it sounds like you enjoyed the one you had. I like the super going a lot and I wish I could find more variety of their beer.

 

Gowanus is out of everything but Liquid Crystal
