FRI 26 – SUN 28 JUN – BRISBANE – Evil Twin x Grimm Tap Takeover @ Saccharomyces / 12-6pm
Is Brooklyn a little sketchy? Maybe. Is the beer world-class? Absolutely.
We are turning the lane into a New York state of mind from Friday, June 26, as we host a dual-brewery takeover from two of Brooklyn’s most iconic and sought-after names: Evil Twin Brewing and Grimm Artisanal Ales.
Why the hype? If you know, you know. Evil Twin is the brainchild of Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø, a pioneer of the “nomadic brewing” movement before finally settling into a permanent home in Ridgewood. They are world-renowned for pushing boundaries with ingredients you’d sooner find in a gourmet kitchen than a brewery.
Grimm Artisanal Ales is a true cult favourite. Joe and Lauren Grimm started as nomadic brewers as well, gaining a massive following for their elegant, complex sours and incredibly polished IPAs. Their beers are rare, refined, and always in high demand.
THE SKETCHY LINEUP
From the Evil Twin Lab:
🏙️ Isn’t Brooklyn a Little Sketchy? Why Would You Live There? (DIPA): The namesake beer. A big, bold, and brilliantly hazy Double IPA.
🏙️ Purple Rice Lager: A crisp, unique lager brewed with purple rice for a distinct color and clean finish.
🏙️ Corner of George & Shawmut Rd: A complex, high-impact brew that shows off their blending prowess.
🏙️ Make it Fruity (Blueberry & Concord Grape): A fruit-forward explosion that blurs the line between beer and juice.
🏙️ Say Even More: A refined, nuanced beer that demands a second sip.
From the Grimm Collection:
✨ Butterfly Door (DIPA): A legendary, soft, and tropical Double IPA.
✨ Double Negative (Imperial Stout): Their multi-award-winning flagship stout. Thick, dark, and dangerous.
✨ Chance Encounter: A beautifully crafted wild ale that highlights Grimm’s mastery of spontaneous fermentation.
The Details: The takeover starts Friday, June 26 at midday and runs all weekend long (or until the kegs run dry). No flights to NYC required: just get yourself down the lane to see why these two breweries are the talk of Brooklyn.
SAT 27 JUN – GOLD COAST – Crrekside Craft Fest @ Currumbin RSL / 12:30pm onwards
