On tap at Gentle Giant:

 Paleolithic Pils German Pilsner—A crisp Pilsner brewed with a touch of Munich malt to add a slight biscuit flavor profile. Gently hopped throughout the boil with Hallertau Blanc gives it the perfect balance of bitterness and floral aromas.
 Citrazoic Double IPA—Made from the world-renowned Citra hops, this beer pours a medium amber with an intense citrus aroma and flavor including grapefruit and lime aromas along with gooseberry, passion fruit and lychee notes.
 Bobby Doesn’t Know Shea Hazy IPA— You ask and you shall receive. Back by popular demand, we made a New England. IPA.  This double IPA has a traditional hazy appearance combined with a soft mouth feel perfectly fitting to the style. Dry hopped intensely with El Dorado and Cashmere, it gives tasting notes of tropical fruit punch and ripe pineapple. Should we keep cranking out New England IPAs? I think we just might.
 Baryonyx Black Lager—Made using bottom-fermenting lager yeast which imparts a dry crispness to this beer, this brew has a malty sweetness and a hoppy bitterness, with notes of coffee and chocolate.

 

Gentle Giant Brewing Company is located at 7 North Main Street in Pearl River, New York.

First Look at the Upcoming Chick-fil-A in Nanuet

By

NANUET, NY — Construction is well underway for the highly anticipated Chick-fil-A restaurant coming to Nanuet, bringing excitement to fast food fans and local residents alike. Located at 70 E Route 59 Nanuet, NY, the new Chick-fil-A is poised to become a major draw in the heart of Nanuet and Clarkstown.

The project broke ground earlier this year and has made significant progress in recent weeks. Heavy machinery, framing, and foundation work have transformed the previously vacant lot into an active construction zone. Crews are now working on erecting the main structure of the building, with signage up and the drive-thru installations work in progress.

This location will be the first stand-alone Chick-fil-A in Rockland County, residents who previously had to travel to locations at the Sloatsburg rest stop or in New Jersey.

Chick-fil-A is known for its signature chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, and customer service — and the Nanuet location is expected to feature a double drive-thru lane to help manage high traffic volumes, especially during lunch and dinner hours.

While an official opening date has not yet been announced, sources close to the project estimate a grand opening in early fall of 2025.

Stay tuned to the Rockland Report for more updates.
