“As well as doing some things that we really want to brew that are more difficult from a volume standpoint to brew 60 barrels at a time.”While currently limited to outdoor seating, Finback’s repurposed President Street warehouse is outfitted with multiple sections, including an open area with lounge chairs, a beer-hall-type space with high stools and shared tables, and a screened off cocktail lounge that will act as the main bar area.Once they get up and running, founders say they will offer much more than just ales and stouts. Quite appropriately, our chat, lightly edited for clarity, was over cans of two new double-dry-hopped double IPAs: Kinda Brooklyn and Sorta Queens.We also see this potential in spirits, especially botanically driven spirits like gin, ways to combine and pull flavor from them.
There are certainly realities of running a small manufacturing business, but brewing beer brings together the best combination of super passionate, hardworking people. I think collaboration between her and the Finback team will be interesting. We’ve sourced a really cool hybrid still that will give us a lot of flexibility in what we’ll be able to make.BL: Agreed. We typically have can or bottle releases every 2-3 weeks and usually have offerings to take home in growlers, cans and bottles.We are passionate about ingredients, wood aging and brewing the best possible beers we can and drinking them in good company. Some breweries use second locations to separate their clean and sour beers, but we won’t be making that distinction. We certainly do see this diversification as following our passion, but it also allows us to continue to be relevant in a very dynamic market.BL: Our original plan was to open with everything. 624 Likes, 18 Comments - Finback Brewery (@finbackbrewery) on Instagram: “New Can available at both our QUEENS and BROOKLYN Taprooms.

If not, you all have to come party in Queens.We think dumplings, like pizza, are one of humanity’s perfect food inventions. Weâre excited to be one of NYCâs 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 were lucky being where we were in Queens and having some space that people didn’t feel crowded.
So keep an eye out for some fun mezcal projects in the future. We’ll be doing a few options; classic pork and chive will be the foundation, with some rotating and vegetarian options. Brooklyn will also allow us to do some super special, small-batch releases. Finback Brewery is located at 7801 77th avenue in Queens, NYC.

We have a fun mural by Kevin Mack, a muralist from Pennsylvania, that will anchor the space, and a lot of wall room that will be used for a rotating collection of art as well as art shows throughout the year. If that happens, we’ll release BQE at both locations. They’ll be pan fried and have a Taiwanese lineage via my father’s northern Chinese heritage, my mother’s Hong Kong roots, and the more than 40 years of Chinese restaurants they ran in Rhode Island.

We really can’t wait to open our doors in Brooklyn and have everyone come see the space.BL: We just tasted all the BQE barrels a few weeks ago, and without hyperbole, they’re tasting fire.
