Finback Brewery (2020)

Where in MD? I have a friend who lives in Baltimore and I believe he is coming up next weekend for a few days.

 

Had a can of breach the surface earlier and loved it... finback quietly outdoes most of their nyc bretheren IMO lately...

 

I'm in Baltimore!

 

Finback Brooklyn IG Post:
Crazy times but we are still working hard to get Brooklyn open. And when we finally are ready, hopefully the city will be healthy enough to be ready for us. In the meantime we are considering limited to-go can sales from BK... we are super appreciative to everyone who has come out to Queens to support us. To make it more convenient for our Brooklyn Friends, we will try to get to go Sales set up in BK. Stay tuned for more info... Stay distanced. It’ll make us closer in the long run.

 

From the comments looks like more info later this morning

A quick walk from home for me, excited to say hi from 6ft away

 

Finback cans to-go out of BK today, 1-6pm

And while you're at Finback swing by the Gowanus Ample Hills to stock up before they shut down for an indeterminate amount of time. Beer and ice cream are proven antidotes to isolation-related sadness.

 

Dayum, that was quick! V nice!

 

I don't think it will continue to be that quiet once life is back to normal and the new taproom is open. If I had to rank NYC breweries, I would put Finback second only to Grimm.

 

Interesting take on Crush Together. I thought the coconut was cloying; wish is was dialed back. Grapefruit Crush on the other hand is spot on.

 

Does anyone know if Finback BK has plans to get on one of those delivery platforms?

 

@RauchbierFan33 you probably saw this, but just in case others are curious: https://www.toasttab.com/finback-ship/v3 and https://www.toasttab.com/finback-delivery

 

I’ve been on the fence about this, I may pull the trigger but I noticed that not all the beers available at the brewery are available for shipping. Is that normal?

 

Can’t edit my last post but forget it. I went back and read one of their past IG posts.

 

I'll happily ride Basil and Co.'s jocks; the quality and consistency of beers they're producing is extremely remarkable. I've made the trek to Queens several times to cop so I completely understand what they're capable of. But damn, DSC, Whale Watching and now Feilds of Tall Grass...all full bar bangers.

If you're on the fence about ordering online, don't delay.

 

I’m not gonna do it because apparently they’re not offering everything for shipping that they’re selling at the brewery. And, of course, the ones I want are not on the list. Sucks because I would be happily willing to pay the shipping costs.

 

This is kind of consistent with how Finback has always been though. A lot of Finback shows up in distro, but aside from Finback IPA and Rolling in Clouds, there isn't much guarantee one will find a particular beer they're looking for at a nearby shop. I find it as frustrating as you, but I guess it would also disappear in a minute!

 

I know they don’t need my business but I guess I just don’t get it. If you’re gonna offer to ship, why wouldn’t you offer your entire menu? Especially of cans, they’re all the same size.

 

That does seem odd. Especially given that its clear they have ample amounts of the beers just released this week.
