    Thanks, just saw that. No way to get there tonight, so hopefully they last one more day.

    Anyone able to confirm if Pataman, Four Year and Visible Spectrum cans are available as of today? It appears that folks were checking them in on untapped yesterday, but would hate to make the trek out to Queens and these are dondee.

    The Other Half collab sounds really good, too bad Finback is such a huge trek on public transit.

    So true. I would absolutely go out there more often, if there was an easier way for me to get there. Oscillation 12 and some of their anniversary IPAs were fantastic.

    i had written them off as 'too far', but i went for the anniversary and it was a pretty reasonable bus ride from bushwick. highly recommend it as a day trip combined with Interboro for those who are from out of the area. (Bridge and tunnel and KCBC are along the way too, if youre into their stuff.)

    the Q55 right near myrtle-wyckoff. was less than a half hour and it dropped me off very close to the brewery. added bonus is it's near l'imprimerie so you can get a croissant for the bus :sunglasses:

    Additionally, consider Car2Go. In and out from Park Slope was about $28. Just enough time to sample a few beers, buy cans and head back.

    Had Replenish the other day. IMO probably my fav session IPA I’ve ever had. Really juicey, soft and crushable.

    After a long string of forgettable releases these guys have really hit their stride again. Some stellar IPAs coming from them in the last few months, and the sours are as delicious as they've ever been. That coconut gose, my goodness.

    My first Finback ipa in forever is Kinda Sorta and I have to give complete props. A “holy shit, this is fuckin great” DIPA. Well done.

    +1 it is fantastic. Smells almost identical to DDH ACE. Has this 'powdered orange tang' that I've only ever picked up in Monkish beers before.

    When Finback is on, their beers are as good as any being produced in the city.
