Description
Founded in 2011, Finback Brewery is born from a passion for brewing and experimentation. After a long search combing through back streets, along canals, under bridges and industrial no-mans lands, braving collapsing roofs and cardboard box jungles the brewery found a space in Queens in 2013. Armed with a 20 barrel brewhouse, Finback released its first beers brewed in Queens in January 2014. The brewery is proud to call Queens home and become a part of the diverse and rich culture of the borough. We’re excited to be one of NYC’s newest breweries and to make NYC culture even better.

Our aim is to make great beer following our passion for flavor and complexity from quality ingredients and small batch artisanal brewing. We brew fun, unique beers made for enjoyment. We like it hoppy and complex, roasty and smoky, strong and sippable to sessionable and gulpable. Most importantly it’s something to drink with friends, in the backyard, at the beach and at the bar. We make beer because we like to drink it delicious and fresh and because we like to smile.

Bottle from Cikoko: pours gold with white head. Aroma is light funk and woody notes with some floral character. Funky and tart. Nice subtle floral undertones. Good like most of their sours.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg Oct 13, 2025; thanks Sammy). Hazy gold with small white head. Aroma of juicy orange. Taste of citrus, feint pith, stone fruit, slightly subdued, easy drinking.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, short and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, a fair old creamy sweetness. Candyish tropical fruits, mango, guava, lychee, a little floral lime. Soft pine overlay. Mild skunk and spice on the finish. An impressively fruity dipa, good fun.

Huge thanks Iznogud for sharing this with us! Black body, no head. Coconut and licorice dominate the sweet aroma. The taste is, you guessed it, sweet, caramelly, with more coconut and more licorice, medium body though. Fresh minty touches come from somewhere, well integrated, and the alcohol is pretty much completely hidden. Excellent stuff!

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head, doesn't last. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, good superfine minerally carbonation. Light smooth creamy sweet malts, not over cooked. Light smooth pine hop overlay. Juicy hop fruits, slightly tangy but bright mandarin, floral orange and a little stone fruits. Light but persistent hop spice that carries on long after the swallow. Good Equilibrium elegance and lightness.

Draught @ Beer Run, Manhattan NYC (Apr 2025). Faintly cloudy dark yellow with a frothy off-white head, very faint citrus peel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter to bitter citrus peel taste, faint piney flavor, thin body, long bitter finish. Decent IPA.
