Finback Brewery (2020)

Same here, aggressive, in your face, love it. Finback is absolutely killing it.

 

Had my last can of Brainalyzer and did not shake/roll it. It was good. So, if you're feeling the burn, do the obvious thing and let the sediment settle before you pour it out gently for enjoyment.

 

had the same experience with the 6 yr... gentle pour was much more enjoyable, where as the first can i had I didn't think about it and it tasted much thicker and abrasive.

brainalyzer was not only so damn good, but quite serendipitous that I had just shown the kids Men in Black the night before I bought the 4 pack, and the bottom of the can alludes to the flashy thingy in MiB that erases your memory!

 

Popped a 6th tonight and found it was still harsh, super tasty, but harsh. My tongue has a tingly numbness as I drink it. Sediment started to show about 2/3 the way through the can.

Brainalyzer is insanely good. I have the same problem with this beer that I had with O20, I went to buy more after trying it and the beer was gone from the online store!!! Looks like I'm walking to Beer Boutique tomorrow. Brainalzyer is insanely good now, though still slightly harsh, but should be awesome. It has that sweet frothiness and intense flavor that OH beers had two years ago (though that's not a knock on current OH beers, OH IPAs are the smoothest in the world right now).

 

But, is Brainalyzer any good?

 

really good

 

And following up, I'm not crazy about Two Tuesdays. It kind of has some nice fruity and bubble gum notes early but then finishes with that vegetal taste that we all initially learn as "beer taste" while cutting our teeth on rolling rocks and milwaukee's best.

 

Brainalyzer is awesome!

my top 4 IPAs of year in no apparent order:

Root and Branch Life and Fate IV
OH Citra+Strata
Finback Oscillation
Finback Brainalyzer

 

Neither Brainalyzer nor Oscillation is currently available for shipping on their website. Hope they come out with new batches next month when I'm ready to buy more beer.

 

You may still be able to find Brainalyzer around town. It just went out late last week with some spots getting delivery this week. I can't speak to the newest batch until I try it Saturday, but the previous batch of Social Fabric was awesome.

 

I'm out in Suffolk County, so if I can't get it shipped I'm not getting any.

 

Had that Sabro tonight and woah- coconut in ya face. Good stuff, very unique. I'll need some more conventional IPA's to have between these but if you want an adventure grab a 4pk.

 

My delivery just arrived, that and Social Fabric, looking forward to both of these.

 

Brainlyzer is still for sale in both cans and draft pours to go at the Brooklyn location, the scaffolding next door is a defacto SRO bar.

 

Has anyone had Visible Spectrum yet? When it's on point, it's my favorite---but it's not always on point! Very curious about this batch.

 

I chose the Bandits since I’m allergic to mango. And daaaaaaaaaamn this is a hell of a beer.

 

Bandits is glorious and will only get better in a couple weeks. Really loving Finbacks IPA for the past couple years

 

As if I needed another reason to fill up an overflowed refrigerator!

 

Please don't miss out on it. It's fantastic and it will be going out to distro next week to several stores. It's got that bitter hop bite at the finish that makes it perfect

 

Haven’t seen any discussion of Cat Hand — drinking great right now....
