    New month, new monthly Grimm thread.

    For info directly from their website
    http://grimmales.com/

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

    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 and 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 is designed by Lauren, about 50% from scratch and the rest using Gretta Johnson's (their longtime friend) artwork.

    Check out http://grettajohnson.com/ for more about this talented artist.

    The artwork on the Splish can is by Joe's old band mate, and incredible artist, Brian Alfred.

    The artwork on the recently released Awoogah IPA is by the super talented Lauren Grimm. She can do it all!


    Can advice:

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


    Upcoming Grimm releases for November (subject to change)


    Magnetic Compass

    Super Spruce

    Sumi Ink

    and a new double IPA called Light Year.

    It got to distro later than expected, so seems to be hitting a little spread out

    City Hops has Tesseract on draft if you want to taste. Pretty sure no growlers though.

    When is Magnetic Compass set to drop? Easily one of my favorite Grimm beers.

    Maybe someone here can answer a distribution question for me. I saw this morning that Beer Table has opened a new location in the World Trade Center. Say they were to get Grimm cans or bottles, does that take away from local distribution, meaning will WF Tribeca get less now?

    union sq whole foods will probably have today. i am going at lunch and will let you know. they didn't sell out because they didn't get it yet. i don't think they ever got splish, so i dont even know if they're getting cherry pop and tesserect, but i imagine that they will.

    Not sure about that - does it really work at such a granular geographic level?

    What I'm also wondering is what will be the new, even larger BT WTC justified mark up? $20/can?

    i just called them. they got them on monday and are sold out of cans, but still have cherry pop bottles. i was there yesterday and they were sold out of both i was told. they're not the best or most knowledgeable over there. i've been told and have seen deliveries on Tuesdays for the most part. i guess it's whenever the truck comes.

    Not sure if a re-post: http://nycraftbeerguide.com/news/new-grimm-brewery-brooklyn/

    "The new Grimm brewery will be at 990 Metropolitan Ave. in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Architects at Kushner Studios have filed paperwork to convert the two-story brick building between Catherine Street and Morgan Avenue into Grimm HQ, complete with a brewhouse, bottling setup, tasting room on the ground floor, another tasting room on the second floor, and seating on the roof."
