"If you know the technical differences between dry hopping and wet hopping, you probably already know about Evil Twin’s taproom in Ridgewood, a block from the Halsey L stop. It’s a great option for a birthday party when you don’t know how many people will actually show up. They host constantly rotating food pop-ups, but you can bring your own snacks (a whole pizza, for example) or stop by the taco truck parked out front. When it’s warm, step outside of the greenhouse-like space and take advantage of the picnic tables." - neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore

"If you’re into beer, you already know about Evil Twin’s taproom in Ridgewood, a block from the Halsey L stop. It’s a great spot for a daytime birthday party when you don’t know how many people are coming. Just note that there’s no food in here, but you can bring your own snacks or stop by the Guatemalan pop-up that's present on weekends. When it’s warm, you can step outside of the greenhouse-like space and take advantage of outdoor picnic tables." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Neha Talreja
"Looking for something different? You’ll find it at Evil Twin Brewing in Ridgewood, Queens. This brewery has a cult following for its strange beers: thick “smoothie” beers, stouts made with french toast bagels, and “pastry seltzers” that taste like Mountain Dew. The company is run by Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø, the twin brother of Mikkel Borg Bjergso, who runs the international beer brand Mikkeller. There is a second location in Dumbo." - Luke Fortney, Eater Staff
