Recently, The New Yorker featured a cover typifying the serious turn craft beer has taken in recent years. Check it out, it's sure to give you a chuckle.

I'm getting more and more into craft beer, maybe because I've found more beers that taste like whisky. Cue the Grimm Shapeshifter.

Courtesy of Grimm Artisanal Ales. Thanks guys!

This Scotch ale has an ABV of 8.3%, what I understand to be relatively high for an ale. With 20 IBU's, it's not too bitter at all. The Shapeshifter actually managed to be a really decadent, rich, full-flavored beer without being too heavy. That crisp body, along with the deep sweetness, reminded me of bourbon. Maybe they'll make a beer drinker ouf ot me yet- (sorry, that was Gimlet). Of me yet*

Taking a look at their site, I'm totally psyched to see that Grimm Artisanal Ales are made by a brewin' couple from local honey. Let's ferment some honey, honey. OK, I'll stop. But seriously-what a legit love story to tell your grandkids.

Also, I had the mighty Shapeshifter at Fool's Gold, where I will most definitely be returning. This is a friendly, spacious bar that perfectly straddles the line between being poppin' and dischoteque full. I also got The Shroom, a provolone slathered sandwich with truffle oil (okay, admittedly, sometimes I do like that stuff). Ace midnight snack.

And I'm pretty into the idea of ordering a "shapeshifter." Makes me feel like a superhero. A superbeerbro.

Which we all deserve to feel like, once in awhile.
