Description
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.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head Aroma is light citrus and a bunch of lactic acid... the smoke is more noticeable in the taste than in the nose. Taste is quite sour and them ends with a lightly smoked finish. This was quite good.
