About
Grimm Artisanal Ales is a Brooklyn-based brewery founded in 2013 by Joe and Lauren Grimm after nearly a decade of tinkering with fermentation. Grimm specializes in concise, elegant ales epitomizing the creative, experimental spirit of the American artisanal beer revolution. With each limited edition release, we seek to push the boundaries of style and flavor in order to create beers with the utmost depth and complexity.
For five years, Grimm operated as a nomadic brewery. Joe and Lauren would develop each recipe in the kitchen of their Gowanus apartment and travel to existing breweries near and far to craft their commercial beers.

Fabulous, just like the Kinks song. Fun to listen to this instrumental folk band, like an impromptu jam session.

This is very nice, much more balanced. Still lots of fruity funk but it's beautiful throughout.

Lots of Brett funk, followed by vinous tannins. A bit too funky, could use a bit more balance.

A nice oniony, fruitiness combo. Strawberries. Nice after a bustling two days. Cloudbusting are always solid pickups.

16oz can from Tavour. Pale, foggy golden pour, one finger foamy head slowly fades. Grainy aroma, corn, sweet. Taste is bready, mild sweetness, biscuity, corn and oats. Smooth and really tasty. High marks from somebody who drank a lot of Genny Cream back in the day
