Finback Brewery (2018)

They've certainly been on a collab. craze lately (e.g. Sole, Civil Society, Sand City, Rushing Duck, Magnify, KCBC)

 

What kind of lines we looking at usually? Never been to the brewery just buy their stuff on the shelves at the store 2 mins from me.

I think they make a decent amount of beer to sell. They had oscillation their big guy and MK Ultra for a week or 2 can wise!

 

Between the Dead sounds fantastic...adding a stop to Finback tomorrow on the afternoon errands list!

 

What store? It's frustrating to hear that cans sit at the brewery for weeks and I see them show up all the way up in Mass, yet I rarely see them in local shops.

I've been to past BA Stout release, I usually show up an hour before opening and am fine, though you don't need to show up that early.

 

Ctown markets get Finback and there's a shop in my hometown Syracuse that gets a ton of it! Besides the Ctown you're right, not many shops here get em. I just happen to be right around the corner from it!

 

My guess is that it will be relatively light tomorrow. Most enthusiasts will probably be at EBF this weekend, including the Finback brewmasters. I don't plan on showing up until the late afternoon and hoping the stout is still there.

 

they randomly show up on LI, like bellport, hicksville and bayshore, but it's definitely not regular. also the price they get when it goes to distro is way lower than what they could charge in house. Also consider that if the cans are at the brewery they can make sure they stay cold and as fresh as possible. anytime i have found them in stores they have always been at room temp and that's often nearly a month after initial release.
It's definitely a trek for me too, 1.5 hour drive, but guaranteed fresh when buying direct.

 

Any word on lines or cases?

 

I was about 15th in line when they opened..I left around 125ish..and the line was out the door about 15-20 outside..no limits on any beers

 

Its so quiet, everyone must be at EBF. No chatter about OH lines and no check ins for their bottles. Finback still has 1 POS which kinda sucks when you're selling 8 different cans and 2 bottles...

 

If I go tomorrow think they'll still have plenty left? Or is that a must go now situation?

 

Do you know which other cans? Any oscillation left?

Intertidal was killer and I don't think I've ever seen cans of it

 

No lines left. No oscillation or red shift cans but there are others from past releases left.

Plenty of beer. Selling from the bar now

 

Sorry I may have counted wrong, but at opening they had 8 cans lined up, red shift, echelon, stellar wind, moss, Mk ultra and some others along with 2 bottles.

 

Between The Dead left?

 

Yes

 

Echelon is surprisingly tasty..better than i thought it'd be

 

At EBF BA BQE is awesome!

 

Has anyone tried the collaboration with Magnify-Smell Ya Later?

 

Plenty of bottles left at 130p
