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.

Keg at the Wee Vault. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of sweet berries and dark chocolate. Taste is sweet, fruity. Sweet finish. Glad I wasn't paying.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Smooth malts, too sweet for my palate, approaching Carnation Milk levels. Crisp cooling pine. Hop spice from the get go. Soft juicy citrus. Smooth finish. Ruined by the sickly sweet malts. A rare clunker from this normally fantastic brewery.

Punchy array of tropical and citrus fruit on the nose upon open and taste follows, notes of tangerine and mango, papaya, touch of mosaic blueberry, soft sweet malty backing, solid balanced bitter hoppy finish. Lovely.

Dark brown, nutty, rich, dark sticky sugars, nice bourbon. The banana kicks in late. I don’t get half the ingredients, but I’m okay with that…those require restraint.
