I had two pints, Buzz Beer - a honey wheat beer and a Tomcat - a pilsner. for food i had the Italian Job pizza! it was bloody lovley!

Hi Josh,

yeah, they make some bitchin' ales there!
I'm told they used to sell all sorts of HB/AG stuff and even wort you could
take home and ferment yourself but unfortunately mustve been b4 my brewing days.
:icon_offtopic:

Wayne and Amanda at BB are gonna start selling wort sometime in the near future so that'll be interesting. Half the fun is making it yourself but I'd still give it a go.

Cheers

they did indeed.....ah the memories. It was Grumpys that got me away from kits with their 10 min boil kits. Can still remember my first Grumpys Boston Cream ale. They used to have a forum too
Cheers

Not affiliated etc, just bought some great stuff from them.

They used to be my local HBS when I started brewing many years ago.

A great step in getting into Partials, etc with the beers they (used to) sell.

I am heading to Grumpy's on the weekend and heard that they may sell "growlers" (maybe 1 ltr bottles) for takeaway of each of their beers. Anyone know if this is still the case?

I think you're confusing Grumpy's with Lobethal Bierhaus who sell 2L growlers of most of their beers.

I find grumpys to be average, make the trip to lobethal beer is a lot better.

I went there a couple years back and the beers were really meh. It feels more like a pizza restaurant with a brewery attached than a brewpub, wich is a shame because I heard their beers used to be awesome. I agree with dj, skip them and go straight to Lobethal.

Perhaps it's worth PMing Voosher who is one of the owners who was a helpful and very active member here a few years ago. He would be most interested to see how his products are being reviewed and may have some more 'current' info on how things are going B) .

One thing that was a bit weird- they had a hand pump and no beer on it- huh??

Voosher was only ever an employee, like myself. Andrew Schultz is and always was, the owner.
Voosh hasn't stepped into Grumpy's for two years now, and hasn't any more current information than April 2008.

[sstacey]

If I remember correctly, Andrew first said that he was looking to sell about 6 years ago. They didn't sell at the time so I don't know if he has been waiting for the rjght buyer all this time or is just having another go now.

Meh, overpriced. Prancing Pony at the other end of the same town and Lobethal Bierhaus 15 mins away have taken over and become what Grumpy's could have been. Needs some serious money tipped in to bring it back to its former glory. A shame.
