Description
Evil Twin Brewing was started up “nomadically” in 2010 by Jeppe Jarnit- Bjergso. In 2012, Jeppe and his family decided to make New York City their home and join the burgeoning local beer scene. In 2016, Jeppe was approached with the opportunity to finally root his ideas & dreams and Evil Twin Brewing NYC was born.
At Evil Twin Brewing NYC we wanted to expand upon the traditions of innovation & further it with the intimacy of a local neighborhood microbrewery. With more control over our recipes, we are able to experiment on new flavors while perfecting the classics.
Collaboration is a huge part of Evil Twin Brewing NYC & we are excited to be able to host & collaborate with all the amazing brewers in NYC and throughout the world within our very own home base! We strive to be a community space for all of Ridgewood and Queens and our goal is that our brewery and taproom becomes a place for locals and beer tourists alike.
Our Queens brewery has been a long time coming & we are thrilled to have a home where our families, friends, and neighbors have a place to share our love for great beer, food & culture with the Ridgewood community, NYC, & the world!

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour, small head fades away, spotty lacing. Fruity aroma mango guava papaye, befitting Marlon's headdress. Taste is tropical ripe fruit, sweet, with a little bit of zip at the finish. Very very tropical....

Canned 1/15/26, drunk 4/7/26.
Smells phenomenal! Right up there with the best. Rich honey and long, toasted sourdough with plentiful, but not overdone/crude hops adding bright floral and dried herb character to balance nicely. Rich and malty but doesn't smell overly sweet/sugary. Crisp and with good minerality on the end.
Rich and quite bready, leaning in to the toasted sourdough character with a whole hell of a lot of hops and quite a large bittering charge. Not gonna mistake this one for a Tuborg, even if it's their yeast. Which, interestingly enough, there isn't much expressive yeast character here and the beer leans heavily on the malt and hops for character. But probably no surprise that Tuborg yeast isn't interesting/exciting. Mild-to-moderate oak, somewhat outdone by the big hoppiness. Bright herbs and floral notes with a deep, malty texture, drying out with the oak and bready malt. Maybe a bit forceful at points; hard to imagine Hersbrucker being so, but they've just loaded this thing to the brim with hops. Dripping with quality, though and still very, very drinkable and immensely clean and flavorful.

Pours hazy gold with an off-white head. Taste is grains, bit of smoke, almost getting some hints of banana, floral notes.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance as seen in the picture.
Aroma: light mixed citrusy to grapefruity and piney hops; light notes of biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet pine needley to orangey rind quality; finishes sweet rind-like hoppy toned
Texture: light to medium bodied; good sessionability; some smoothness with a little bit of stickiness but nothing burdensome, good carb level
Overall: the brewer might call this a West coast styled IPA but I say it's a good IPA that I might come back to just for the fun of it.

Intense sweet fruity and malty with notes of juicy blood orange and nectarine, mango, citrusy motueka lime and lemon, sticky sweet malty backbone, solid hoppy and boozy fruity and malty lingering warming into the finish. Great nightcap

Long in the tooth for a mega-IPA, so it drinks closer to a barleywine at this point, with a thick caramel-vanilla sweetness against a moderate wall of pine. Pours a sludgy gold with lots of white shit swirling around; not teribly attractive, in other words. Not undrinkable, but a vegetal undercurrent provides a funky, off finish. Odd.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt dark yellow to cardboard orange color with a three and a half fingers of white foamy head and some floaties in and about the body. The head slowly dissipated and left lots of messy lace
Aroma: big mixed citrusy to orangey hops with a great deal of pineapple hoppy notes; super light clean bready malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the previously noted aromas to a fine sticky sweet into a sly bittersweet juicy soft quality; finishes in a nice soft juicy mixed citrusy to orangey and pineapple-y vibe
Texture: light to medium bodied, very sessionable; very smooth along the tongue with a very nicely done low carb and a very nice low hop bitterness
Overall: I'd say this was a pretty nicely done NEIPA I would come back to.

Kind of strange - poured with no head which then slowly grew to what you see. And it's long-lasting. Anyway, aromas are malt and orange juice. Flavors are similar to nose but with this intense, candy like sweet tart orange. Last beer of the evening. Hope it doesn't kill me in the middle of the night.
