NYC BREWERY TOUR: Finback Brewery

Each Friday, I get a lesson in the NYC brewery scene in these funny and informative videos promoting Urban Oyster’s NYC Brewery Tour

Like many people, I have a grandmother who lives in the residental area between here and Long Island. It’s not easy to get to the far reaches of Queens, so I rented a ZipCar to meet her for dinner. On this particular trip, I somehow get sidetracked in Glendale when I run into Meredith who makes me stray from the path and join her on a brewery visit. Who knew Finback was making full-flavored, unique brews all the way out here in Queens?
