USA, NY: Grimm Artisanal Ales to open in New York

Grimm Artisanal Ales announced the release of the first batch of beer called “From the Hip”. Only twenty barrels of this limited edition beer will be made, Beer Pulse reported on June, 18.

Beginning in July 2013, the beers will be available on draft in craft beer bars across New York City as well as a select few outlets in upstate New York including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, and Albany.

A small portion of the company’s production will be bottled, and will be available in boutique bottle shops across the state.

As New York City’s only brewers specializing in beers inspired by Belgium’s freewheeling brewing traditions, Grimm Artisanal Ales’ approach is to make sophisticated yet inventive ales that push boundaries.

Being a small upstart company, Grimm Artisanal Ales’ business model is based on principles of the shared economy; rather than investing in their own physical space, they brew their beer in other breweries’ facilities, helping them to keep their brewing pipeline full and benefitting both parties. Each recipe is extensively tested in the company’s Brooklyn home, before they travel to their host brewery to and leave the beer to ferment on-site until it is ready to be kegged or bottled.

As nomadic brewers, the Grimm Artisanal Ales’ brew masters are liberated to create unconventional, distinctive limited-edition ales for the true connoisseur.
