About
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.

Burk till venezia i hemmet utan jämförelsedipa. Oj oj här har vi klas. Klunkar och lite lätt krämig med sjukt mycket tropiska grejer. Perfekt balans mellan fruktighet och beska . Ja trotts galet mönga hazy eller nya ängland Dipor är det få som är riktigt välgjorda. Denna tillhör den kategorin . Supergod Så här ska det smaka.

Felsmaker = sockersöt , Fruktug först nån sekund för att sedan bli sjukt bitter , smakar tunnt. De är de vanligaste som mååååånga bryggerier slänger ut.

Dark brown, thick head, has some bitterness, a touch of pine, ok balance, malts on the sweeter side and it’s a bit yeastier than I’d prefer.

Dark brown. The aroma has a lot of vanilla, with intense coffee and cacao. Big, rich body, almost spicy accent, with a clean medium roast coffee character and integrated vanilla. A touch of nuttiness, and a sweetish, rich dark sugar and vanilla finish.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 12/08/2026.
Almost clear golden orange topped with a lasting off white head.
Nose is orange zest, grass, pine nip, mandarin, mixed tropicana.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grapefruit, pine resin, papaya, boozey tunes, mango flesh.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, drying close punctured with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness with a balanced rising boost.
Tidy well balanced TIPA ... sips fair easy and doesn't get sweet. Probably would drop a 7.7 if I could so give them the nod for 7.8.
