    For info directly from their website

    Their new online shop is open. Check out their gorgeous glassware and shirts.

    Nice pics on their instagram feed: https://www.instagram.com/grimmales/

    Grimm beers are usually in high demand (especially the cans). Cans have been limited to low counts per person. Grimm Artisanal Ales supply their beers at low prices (and have NOT raised their prices recently) to the distributor, who supply the retail shops, and therefore are not responsible for the final price you may encounter. They try to support the "Mom and Pop" shops that sell their beer. Hopefully, we should all support these small shops. Also available at select Whole Foods beer departments with limits to spread the wealth among your fellow BA brethren. :sunglasses:

    The latest fitness craze has been the checking of this thread and Beermenus for their cans/bottles and running around town trying to get them before inventory is sold out. Needed exercise for some of our fellow beer enthusiasts. :grinning: If you miss out, you can usually find their beer on tap.

    Post away and yes, Joe and Lauren (the Grimm's) monitor this thread and are great about responding to your questions and comments. Especially, if you tag them @Grimm_Artisanal_Ales. :slight_smile: Great people, great couple, great brewers.


    Artwork

    The beautiful Grimm artwork on their labels are designed by Lauren (mostly) and talented friends.

    Can advice

    Keep cold! Drink Now! Roll can to suspend hop particles. :slight_smile:


    Upcoming Grimm releases for May (subject to change)

    Waiting for the official list. I'll add it after I received it or @Grimm_Artisanal_Ales will.

    light year: this batch is definitely worth seeking out if still around and the art looks classy AF in the matte
    S/N: feels right down the middle grimm-wise and contained by a little bite, nice lemon pineapple aroma
    tom tom: definitely has that floral / wildflower thing going on, love the intensity and clarity of that flavor (though tbh it could be because of the way I was primed by the description)

    nice side effect of wandering around town looking for grimm cans was stumbling across some 3F - just made me more thirsty for the grimm blends

    I live out in California, and I gotta say. I am loving the Grimm stuff I can get my hands on. I am a huge fan of their Pop! series, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the stouts I have had from them. I hope to see some cans in the future, though I know unlikely since I’m on the opposite, I mean wrong, coast.

    So Grimm distro makes its way to California but still can’t find its way across the river to NJ?

    If that’s what you want to call not tolerating white supremacist memes, sure

    wasn't pepe like a robot or whatever 4chan bullshit meme, not a white supremacist meme? they just co-opted it.

    but back on track here.

    I think florida has been getting Grimm bottles as well. would be great if they made their way to NJ.

    The Threes collab is tasting really really nice. Tons of galaxy, and for those that care it was canned 2 days ago.

    Freshest Grimm we've ever had. Looks really hazy. Looking forward to trying it. Online beer purchases are so low stress.

    Does threes collab stuff make its way out to their regular retail channels or do you need to schlep out there?

    I had a can of Tom Tom and I'm completely confused and in the dark by this Bobo collab and release party. I'm guessing they're friends of the Grimms but I am missing what Bobo is and what they bring to the beer even after stalking their instagram feed. Is it just the wacky artwork? Can you provide any context for this collab @Grimm_Artisanal_Ales? Apologies if this has already been explained.

    Bobo is the name of a collective that does art, music, and other projects -- they/he did the can design for Tom Tom

    Oh okay. Then every beer ever made is a collab in some way. Got it!

    tom tom is the least aesthetically pleasing can design from grimm by far. up there with pizza boy and hoppin' frog for bad cartoon style. looks like a high school mural.

    threes + grimm collab is killer. can't wait for day of grimm canning!

    No upcoming release list means the opening is this month, right, right??

    hi guys sorry for the late list!

    brewery update -- we're doing final troubleshooting and tests, cleaning and passivating tanks, etc so we expect to be brewing our first batches in the next couple of weeks. The actual opening day remains to be seen but we want to have a few brooklyn-brewed beers ready for you to enjoy before we open the doors.

    This month's releases!
    Crystal Sync: saison brewed with earl grey tea and dry hopped with azacca - bottles/draft
    Magnetic Compass: IPA brewed with mosaic and rakau (finally got our hands on that rakau!) - cans/draft
    Air and Light: dry hopped sour with tart cherries and el dorado hops - bottles/draft
    Icing On The Cake: imperial milk stout with vanilla and cacao - bottles/draft

    Finally opened my can and took a closer look at the design. It's very much a play on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
