We're thrilled to share that Queue Beer has been featured in The Wall Street Journal!
Ryan Wagner, Guinness’ head of beer quality, stopped by our Carroll Gardens location after seeing our LUKR side-pull Guinness — the first of its kind in the United States. He worked with us on a few tweaks to the pour and offered his expert guidance.
A big thank you to Ryan for taking the time to visit and share his expertise with us — it means the world to the whole team. We’re truly humbled and grateful for the recognition.
Come experience the side-poured perfection for yourself at 500 Smith Street. We can’t wait to welcome you into our Queue!

Side-Poured Guinness has arrived at Queue.
We’re proud to introduce what we believe is the first Guinness in the USA poured through a LUKR side-pull faucet fitted with a nitro stout tip. Same classic 75/25 nitrogen blend — but instead of a fixed restrictor plate, we control the agitation by hand.
The result? A softer, quicker cascade. Tighter microfoam. A dense, meringue-like head that integrates seamlessly into the beer. Irish stout tradition meets Czech side-pull technique. And a significantly faster, higher quality pour than your average Guinness.
It’s the Guinness you know — poured with intention, shaped by touch, and finished with a creamy cap that lingers.
Quick by design. Quality by choice. Available now at Queue.

This special 4.5% ABV Basmati Rice Lager is a tribute to Indian culture and heritage is releasing just in time to add to your Indian Independence Day celebrations. The name is inspired by a famous line from the Bollywood classic "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge": "Small things like this happen in big countries."
Crafted with Czech Republic Saaz hops, this crisp and refreshing lager offers subtle bitterness, making it the perfect accompaniment to your Independence Day celebrations and a variety of Indian dishes.
This year, we will also be doing a draft-only variant of Small Things, specially dry-hopped with Sorachi Ace hops for a fun twist on our award winning rice lager. We can't wait to try this spinoff with you all.
Mark your calendars for August 9th! "Small Things In Big Countries" will be available on draft and in 12-oz cans to-go at Queue Beer, Carmine Street Beers (), and Alternate Ending (). This will be a limited release so don't miss out!
