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 purchased at Finback LIC: pours black with beige head. Ample amounts of vanilla, loads of coffee, excellent chocolate, restrained but pleasant barrel treatment. Beer is pretty hefty, but still smooth and drinkable without much alcohol burn. Complex. Quite good.

Pours milky yellow with a thick head. The aroma was a bit hard to catch! But there was some citrus, some nettles and some gunpowder. Juicy mouthfeel. Flavour a bit dry and has notes of grapefruit, lime, lemons and yeast. Alcohol and burning hops in the finish.
