Grimm Artisanal Ales

Grimm Artisanal Ales is a Brooklyn, New York brewery located at 990 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211, with a main taproom, rooftop terrace and bar, and Lala's Apizza on site. It has been named New York State Brewery of the Year five times (2026, 2025, 2024, 2022, and 2021) and describes itself as Brooklyn's finest producer of medal-winning IPAs, sour and spontaneous ales, lagers, stouts, and hefeweizens. The brewery reflects the creative vision of the Grimm family, with Joe Grimm and Lauren Carter Grimm viewing brewing and fermentation as an extension of their creative practice. Operating as a nomadic brewery before opening its own brick-and-mortar facility in 2018, Grimm introduced dry-hopped sour ales that were precursors to the "sour IPA" style, and its related Pop! series pioneered the dessert-style sour ale category.

Grimm Artisanal Ales operated as a nomadic brewery before opening its own brick-and-mortar facility in 2018. The brewery has been at the forefront of several innovative beer styles that have since become fanatically popular. After receiving viral acclaim for its Northeast-style IPAs, the Grimms introduced dry-hopped sour ales to the market — precursors to the "sour IPA" style and some of the first of their kind. The related Pop! series added milk sugar and vanilla, pioneering the dessert-style sour ale category. Current projects include the development of a unique approach to American spontaneous ale fermented entirely by local ambient microorganisms. The brewery reflects the creative vision of the Grimm family, with Joe Grimm (an erstwhile indie/experimental musician) and Lauren Carter Grimm (a former sculptor and conceptual artist) viewing brewing and fermentation as an extension of their creative practice.
