      Definitely Grimm was a major miss and Interboro around the corner
      We too discovered how far Finback is but well worth the trip. Think they’ve now opened another taproom closer to town

      4 - Grimm
      5 - Interboro
      6 - Mikkeller
      8 - Brooklyn
      9 - Bronx Brewery
      10 - LIC Beer
      Plenty to come back for.

    Failed to mention that Evil Twin, and Finback are both in the best Boro, which of course is Queens. Speaking of, missed out on Mikkeller, 5th Hammer, Singlecut, and as everyone's saying Grimm back in BK. Also, Finback and Evil Twin are pretty easy to get back and forth to if you know the area.

    Left Stockholm for my first NYC visit in june last year. Besides the usual tourist traps me and my friend also decided to visit Other Half brewing. Lively place with friendly people and tasty beers. Definitely worth a visit. Then we did a wobbly hike all the way through Brooklyn, over the bridge and ended up in a bar again in lower Manhattan :)

    Hi guys, I watched your video a couple of weeks ago and loved the look of the places you visited. It was also great to read the other recommendations in the comments. As I’d got a few days holiday to take, I booked a fright from the UK to NY for the following Monday. Here are the places I visited and my thoughts.
    Thanks guys, and keep up the good work.
    LIC Beer - Fantastic, especially their Amorphous Vienna Lager. Also recommended a few other breweries, which is a nice thing to do.
    Fifth Hammer - Loved the building, atmosphere and lovely beers.
    Other Half Brewery - I’d been warned that the beers might be a bit too fruity for me but advised still to go and check it out. The barmaid’s recommendations were lovely. Even at 3pm on a Tuesday it was packed and the had the live football (soccer) on TV. Barmaid even challenged me with a couple of beers outside of my normal tastes. Really nice place to hang out.
    Threes - Nice beer but seemed quite average. Oh, but Iranian restaurant over the road, Insa, is superb.
    Strong Rope Brewery - Other Half recommended this place. Really good beer and met some nice people. Top place.
    Evil Twin - FRUIT!!! Nice building but beers were way too fruity, more like Juices. Barman didn’t seem too knowledgeable or ask anyone else serving for advice on beers.
    Kings County Brewers Collective - Barmaid knew her beers. Nice recommendation and pushed me to try their Stout which was really nice. Nice and fun place to visit.
    Not a Tap Room but someone recommended Roberta's for Pizza (1 stop down on the L towards my next Tap Rooms). Fantastic pizza and really nice selection of beers. This place was packed and the Märzen was superb. Wish I’d have noted the brand.
    Grimm - Decor seemed a bit too sterile for a Tap Room, but worth a visit if you’re near. Pleasant staff and tasty beer.
    Interboro - Had a very hip but old school feel. Seems to be ran to the moto “Lets brew some beer man!”. Barman knew his stuff and everyone in there was having a great time. Nice atmosphere.
    So top recommendations....

    I went to New York last November (possibly just after you visited in this vid?) and Other Half blew me away. Had one of their IPA’s at IndyMan that was stunning, and the insane range of beers they had on at the taproom, including a stout with (if I remember right) Ethiopian coffee was just unbelievable. Grimm was cool too, gutted I missed out on Evil Twin!
    Would also highly recommend Carmine Street bar and bottle shop to anyone who hasn’t gone there. Superb.
