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. _____

Very solid brewery to spend a few hours at sipping some beer and eating some surprisingly good pizza. Love the upstairs patio on a nice day or the sidewalk picnic tables. The pizza is definitely worth a shot and there is a beer for every kind of beer drinker.

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.

The best brewery in NYC. You can hang out in their space for awhile and there is a lot to try. Staff is amazing and it's a welcoming environment. Order a pizza as well. 5/5

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.

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!

Really liked this place when I stopped in after a visit to the Amant nearby. Large cavernous space was bursting at the seams, as they were hosting a pop-up craft sale with local makers/vendors. I enjoyed my Sumi ink imperial stout. Heavy on the vanilla, inky, and a very luxurious mouthfeel. ABV 13.5%. I'll plan to return to taste some of their other options.

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.

Grimm recently unveiled their new rooftop space featuring brick oven pizza. The ambiance is fantastic, offering both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a welcoming bar area. I am a craft beer enthusiast and love coming to this place. Their beer selection is consistently excellent, making it the ideal spot for spending quality time with friends on a leisurely afternoon.
