Beer pick of the week: Grimm Black Forest

My “tip” of the week on today, National Beer Day, is to try beers that may be outside your comfort zone sometimes. I did recently with Grimm’s Black Forest sour – which really does have black forest cake flavors! In a sour! Cacao, cherries, only 7%. What’s not to like? This is a collab with Germany’s Freigeist brewery.
