Hackensack: Tiger vs Crane is a collaboration beer that started over a decade ago unknown to the parties involved. Here’s the backstory and below is more information our release party scheduled for June 19 starting at 5PM at Hackensack Brewing.
the backstory
A few years after NJCB started a former local NJ resident named Scott (who lives in Richmond, VA) discovered NJCB by going to a bar while visiting family in NJ. Fast forward, Mike (from Team NJCB) meets Scott and become friendly and trade beers often. Fast forward to the world after Covid. Mike and some friends meet Andrew from Black Ninja Design who’s DJing at The Answer on what happens to be May Fourth and Wu Wednesday. So all of a sudden, there’s a killer bottle share, it’s Cantillon / Star Wars night at Mekong, there’s chicken nuggets, and Wu Tang is playing on repeat. Everyone’s having a great time sipping on some dope beers. Scott leaves us with some great beers and vice versa. However, I, Mike, got one of my favorite glasses ever made from Black Ninja Design. The Carebear Wu glass. Check instagram and Untappd, you’ll see it. A few months later, we start the conversation about getting this going, but New Jersey doing NJ things, we could NOT have the party until the bill was signed. Once the laws changed and Phil signed the bill, inspiration hit. Gene and I from Team NJCB were hanging out at Hackensack both to support The Alementary and celebrate the changes. I flashed back to that event and was like… Kaboom, guess who stepped in the room.
