    Great beer, cute spot, pleasant service! What more can you ask from a local brewery. Beer is high quality and there are lots of options to choose from.

    My boyfriend and I rode our bikes here on a Sunday afternoon. Plenty of space and spots to lock up our bikes outside and the bar had lots of beers to choose from, as shown in the picture the beer has a lot of foam, all the bearers are like that. I feel like that's their thing.

    Grimm is a stop we make every time we make our way back to NYC. Amazing styles of beer, bomb snacks and always amazing customer service. Each time we come back, they have great new releases we can drink in house or take home. And you can't beat the beautiful taproom. Can't wait to be back in NYC drinking at Grimm again!

    Lovely beer garden with a rooftop view of Brooklyn. I tried several of their sours and shared a pizza with friends - the atmosphere was cozy and inviting on a cold winter evening. This place seems to be family friendly too as we saw a bunch of families come in for the 'za. Would recommend a visit or three :)

    I walked over to Grimm Brewery from one of my other stops to try their large swath of offerings. Joe Grimm and Lauren Carter Grimm use their brewery as a creative practice to showcase not only quality beers, but also contribute directly to the community at large. A beautiful space, with equally beautiful beers. I enjoyed a handful of small pours while at the brewery. Pictures In the Sand: A Barleywine Aged in Amaro and Bourbon Casks. The Amaro flavors really come through in this unique barrel aged beer. Classic Rewind: A West Coast IPA brewed with 100 percent Barley and multiple hop additions of Columbus, Simcoe, and Centennial. Brûlot Diabolique: An Ale aged in Taconic Whiskey and Brown Sugar Rum Barrels, then steeped in Orange Zest, Coffee, Cloves, and Cinnamon. Super delicious and creative beer. Thundercloud: A Triple IPA hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Nectar, and Riwaka. Duivel's Tea: A Barrel Aged Dark Sour Conditioned on Oolong Tea. Cloudbusting #12: A Double IPA hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Nectar, and Riwaka. _____

    When I walked into this brewery I did not know what to expect. But wow I was blown away by the cleanliness and just how the space looked! When you walk in to your left there is some merch you can buy. To the right when you walk in there is a nice size bar. They have some other tables and chairs in this area as well. I opted to sit at bar. The lady working was very helpful. This place also has a roof top but it was closed when I went by there. I had tried one beer and that beer was the grimm lite. It was a light lagar style beer. I got a four pack of it to go, that is how much I enjoyed it. The bar had some bar snacks you could get while enjoying your beverage but I did not see anything I liked or wanted. They usually have pizza options avail which, I have heard was very good! Maybe one day I will try and get to taste this pizza. This brewery has a pretty looking cat that just wonders around. I overheard that the brewery adopted it. Its name is Simcoe. What a cute name as well. There are pets that are allowed to come in as I was there someone brought her dog in. I highly recommend checking out this brewery for great beers and great environment and friendly staff.

    Seriously good high-end craft beers, with a focus on IPAs. Their brews are clean, expressive, and balanced. I went during a random weekday, and the bar was a cordoned area from their active brewery, forklift and all, but it was hardly intrusive. The bartender was helpful, and the bar pours are pretty good deals! $4 for 4 oz, $6 for 8 oz, $9 for 14 oz of most of their ales.

    Grimm is among my top three favorite NYC breweries. For starters, they have a cat. While I missed my chance encounter with the resident mouser, Simcoe, I'm a huge fan of any establishment friendly to our feline friends. Second, their beer is incredible. They have a huge variety of beers, and I wanted to try nearly everything on their menu. I had a hard time narrowing down which brews to try, but fortunately, they offer smaller size pours, spreading out my options a bit more. We managed to snag a couple of bar seats when we sauntered in on a dreary, rainy Sunday. The bartender was lovely and very attentive despite essentially running the entire place herself during a busy time. I was appreciative of her service! The pizza upstairs is tasty, if not VERY thin crusted- just so you're away. It's made fresh, so I'd prepare for a little bit of wait, especially in busy times. The nice thing is your tab transfers between the bar downstairs and the pizza/ bar upstairs. The upstairs also has a lovely outdoor space (I'm sure it's great in the summer!) The beers here are vast and unique. I could spend an entire day sipping a drink at their bar, reading a nice book, and seeking out Simcoe.

    A lovely brewery and space tucked deep into Williamsburg -- they seem to be quite the neighborhood staple and have fun events throughout the month. I came here for a friend's birthday and they let us reserve a space and bring our own food. The beers were great (Lightyear was my favorite) and the glassware is cute -- bonus points for the adorable brewery cat!

    Grimm was recommended to Husband and me because we tend to like a hoppier beer style. Turned out to be a great recommendation because now we love Grimm! Great beer, atmosphere and beer tenders. Super clean restrooms.

    Delicious brews here - I like both sours and stouts, but would say definitely go with the stouts here. And, get them brulee'd.. absolutely incredible! Spacious and light atmosphere with a lot of large tables. Get here early if coming in a large group!

    Grimm Artisanal Ales is a craft brewery that opened in Brooklyn, New York in June 2018. It was founded by husband and wife Joe and Lauren Grimm. Joe had worked for years as a musician while Lauren worked as a sculptor and conceptual artist. They soon became very interested in homebrewing and created beer recipes out of their Gowanus apartment. In 2013, they officially launched Grimm Artisanal Ales. Because they couldn't obtain a loan to open a brewery, the Grimms decided to operate as a gypsy brewery operation and enlisted the help of established production breweries such as Buzzards Bay Brewing and Beltway Brewing Company. After five years of producing excellent brews, the Grimms finally opened their brick and mortar facility in East Williamsburg. In November 2022, the Grimms launched Physica Wines: a sister winery operation that produces natural, single-ingredient wines from grapes selected from Long Island's North Fork. In July 2023, the Grimms launched Lala's Brooklyn Apizza: their rooftop pizzeria and bar that specializes in New Haven-style pizza. Joe's fascination for "apizza" (pronounced ah-BEETZ) started during his time as a student at Yale University. Lauren had always dreamed of running a restaurant, so they named it "Lala's" (her family nickname). I recently visited Grimm Artisanal Ales for the first time while I was cycling around NYC. I was trying out a number of Brooklyn and Queens breweries and pizzerias and Grimm was my fourth stop of the day. Not only was I excited to try their beers but also their pizza. I'm a New Haven native and was very excited to try a Brooklyn pizzeria's take on New Haven-style pizza. My visit was actually the second day that Lala's was open. I heard that the pizzeria ran out of dough in a few hours on their opening night, so I made sure to arrive early before the rooftop pizzeria opened for the afternoon. I was one of the first people inside and found a seat right by the wood-fired pizza oven. I ordered a beer flight of four samples including "Afterimage" (Double IPA), "Dihedral Synchro-Helix Actuation Door" (Double IPA), "Stowing Away the Time" (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout), and "Pictures of Your Mama Taken by Your Papa" (Single Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged Barleywine). These beers completely knocked my socks off, especially the latter! For pizza, I ordered the "Clam Pie" (local little neck clams, aged mozzarella, garlic, Physica Riesling butter sauce, fresh parsley) and the "Squash Pie" (summer squash medallions, mozzarella, squash blossoms, egg yolk drizzle, ricotta, black cracked pepper). Holy moly! These pies may not have had the char of authentic coal-fired apizza, but they were still pretty darn close to the real thing! Speaking as a New Haven native, I have to give Lala's my seal of approval! I had a fantastic experience at Grimm/Lala's and I can't wait to go back! I now consider Grimm to be one of my Top 10 favorite breweries!

    Overall rating: 5 Absolutely obsessed with this place. Almost makes me miss living in this area. Tried a few IPAs doing my own flight with 4oz. Odd that they don't offer it on their own. Good beer, friendly staff. Def on my list to come back & highly recommend.

    The only brewery in the world that makes you pay for samples, then mocks you for assuming they would let you try a beer before buying it.

On the positive side, it's a very spacious bar and I saw board games stacked up, which tells me it can be a fun place to hang out. Now to the not as great. I sat at the bar and after looking at their cocktail menu, I ordered a French 75. You can imagine my surprise when I was served a drink in a single rocks glass which is basically what you'd serve an old fashion or other cocktail in. A French 75 needs to be in a flute. And at first, I thought maybe they don't have any flutes. Which still perplexed me because why have a French 75 on the menu if you don't have the right glassware. But I looked behind the bar and lo and behold, saw a flute. So not sure what that was about. The drink itself was ok. The other weird thing is that when I ordered, she rang it up and handed me the handheld device to pay. Since I was sitting at the bar, I'd expect to at least be asked if I wanted to open a tab or to just wait. Payment before the drink was made just rubbed me different. And of course, gratuity was tacked on, also rubbed me wrong. Because while I planned to tip, adding your own tip automatically to 1 drink is icky.

    Wish I had time to explore the menu more. But only came here for drinks with some friends. It was a…read moreMonday night when we came, so it was pretty peaceful. The bartender let us know exactly where to order. Lychee martini 6/10: on the heavier side with the taste but it definitely got me tipsy. Wish there was more lychee flavor to it.

Bartender Camden was welcoming and friendly, it was fun to chat with him on a quiet afternoon.

They have a small selection to go as well. If you're looking for a quiet and cozy spot to enjoy some local beer, this is a great option and I'd definitely come back!

It seemed like she didn't want to be there and anytime I asked questions about the beer, she had an attitude like I was bothering her. I ordered a flight and I enjoyed the beers. They have some great tasting beers on tap. The music was great, it was a blend of 90's jams. They don't serve food, but they allow you to bring in your own. The decor was simple, felt a bit cold and the vibe was chill. It's a small interesting space, when we arrived it was just us and 2 other small parties. When we left, there was a chaotic stroller party happening in the back. The brewery filled up pretty quick on a Saturday afternoon, with one slow moving angry woman pouring beers, it took awhile to get a beer. If the woman behind the bar had provided better customer service, I might have left a higher scoring review. I really wanted to like this place. Will I be back, probably not.
