Squire Vickers, one of the subway's chief architects, left his mark by designing iconic mosaic tile panels. According to the New York Times, he is credited with building more of today's subway than any other architect. During his tenure as the system's lead designer for close to three decades, he was responsible for more than 300 stations throughout New York City!
So, we created our own nod to these works of art on display throughout the subway. Vickers’ Daydream is the Mosaic Double IPA of our dreams. Dry hopped with massive amounts of Citra, Amarillo, and of course, Mosaic, this beer has big notes of orange zest, mangoes and papaya.
Hop on and take a ride with Vickers’ Daydream!

This beer is DEFINITELY NOT retired! I just received a 4 pack from the brewery date stamped brewed February 15, 2021. It was nice to get something this local and fresh from a brewer I've never been that impressed with. Nice golden orange haze that reveals super tropical nose notes. I get aromas of banana, pineapple, guava in those notes. Notes follow into the palate.

A: The beer is relatively clear yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high bright white head that quickly died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of papayas are preset in the nose.
T: The taste has moderately strong flavors of orange citrus and papayas. Hardly any bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is deceptively drinkable for an Imperial IPA as it has the body of an APA and any traces of alcohol are well hidden from the taste.
Serving type: can
