Grimm Artisanal Ales

Grimm Artisanal Ales Brewery and taproom in Brooklyn, NY. Our beers are artisanal and often Belgian-inspired. Gypsy brewing means we are brewers without a permanent brewing home.

We aim to create elegant ales that are experimental and unique, balanced with complex flavors and aromas. From the recipes to the artwork on the labels, everything is designed by ourselves and our good friends. We travel to other breweries, use their equipment to make something special, and bring the results back home to share. Think of Grimm Ales as a band, and the host brewery as a recording stu

dio. We go into the studio from time to time and make an album (or a beer, rather!). Each batch of beer will be a one-of-a-kind, seasonal, limited edition brew. If you like a particular beer we release, drink it up -- it may never come back around again! Expect our first beers to pop up in New York in summer 2013. Some of our first batches might be a crisp, spicy rye abbey ale, a rich, golden Belgian tripel, and a hop-focused pale ale made with clean, slightly acidic champagne yeast.

Anniversary beer drop #3 of 4: THE HOPS! We have three special anniversary IPA’s, each different from the next.

8TH ANNIVERSARY TRIPLE IPA is a hazy 10% beast, densely packed with flavor and unctuous with hop oils. Brewed with Krush, Nelson Sauvin, Citra, and Nectaron, it is loaded with notes of ripe, sticky mango and peach. Ultra concentrated hop elixir!

EIGHT OF WANDS is a different kind of magic trick: a lean and efficient west coast IPA, it shows an incredibly rich and complex mid-palate hop flavor of lychee and passionfruit due to its blend of Riwaka, Strata, and Mosaic hops layered through multiple additions on both the hot and cold side. It finishes with a strong bitterness that matches it’s kaleidoscopic melange of evolving hop flavors. 7%.

We usually like to brew something for our anniversary that reflects exploration into unfamiliar techniques or raw materials. MAGICAL REALISM is a hazy DIPA brewed with fonio, an ancient West African grain. Fonio thrives in arid climates such as the Sahel, and it regenerates the soil in which it grows. It is known for conveying a passionfruit-like tropical note that comes not from hops but from the grain itself. Sure enough, this hazy IPA glows with tropical and citrus energies. Magical Realism is hopped with Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, and Citra. 8%.

All of these unique hoppy delights will come out this Saturday, 6/20 at the Metropolitan Ave taproom.

GRIMM 8th (13th) anniversary: THE FARMHOUSE ALES!

First up is En Passant Franc, a complex and tart blend of barrel aged farmhouse ale conditioned on Cabernet Franc grapes! Incredible depth while remaining balanced and drinkable. 7%.

And then comes COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER! This grisette is a little glass of sunshine, a historical beer style that once upon a time brought laborers back to life after a day of toiling in the mines. Effervescent and lithe with notes of lemon and white pepper. 3.4%.

Enjoy these beautiful beers and more at our anniversary celebration this Saturday, 6/20.

We’re celebrating our 8th year in our brewery on Metropolitan Ave (13th year total) this Saturday with eight special beers. Here are the first two— a pair of barrels aged sippers to get us started.

BLUE VELVET is dark sour ale blended from spontaneous and mixed culture barrels and refermented on blackberries and blueberries. Flavors of fig and dark plum contrast with bright berry acidity. 6.5%.

ONEMENT WILD TURKEY is a rich and supple imperial stout aged exclusively in former Wild Turkey Bourbon barrels. Flavors of malted chocolate chip cookie, warm bourbon, dark fruit, vanilla, and char. 12.5%.

Just two of eight beers coming out at our 8th (13th) anniversary celebration this Saturday, 6/20!

Every year we look forward to Color Field! Color Field is a quenching berliner weisse brewed with hibiscus, rose hips, and chamomile. Produced with a mixed culture fermentation in our oak foeder, it pours a hazy pink color topped with a fluffy white head. Tart aromas of lemon, black pepper, and earthy, gently perfumed botanicals mingle with classic saison funk. The soft, refreshing acidity is balanced by a hint of floral sweetness. This beer is never boiled and never filtered. 4%.

Color Field comes out in the taproom Saturday, 6/13.
