This Saturday 6/23 from 11:30am-6 pm at the brewery, we will be selling cans of Fractal Citra+Mosaic. $16 per four pack, limit one case per person.
Fractal Citra+Mosaic (6.8% IPA) investigates the interplay between Citra and Mosaic, and our revised hopping processes.

Fractal Citra+Mosaic pours a resinous-hazy-straw yellow releasing complex aromas of dank citrus, passion fruit, berries, earthy grass, and tropical melon. The taste is resinous, dank pineapple juice with a touch of pine. It ends with a slightly creamy mouthfeel and a firm but rounded bitterness.

Our friend Soren from Dry & Bitter Brewing Company is in town from Denmark. He has always taken care of us and showed us a good time at the European beer events. It’s great to have him on our turf to pay it forward.

See you Saturday!

This Saturday 6/16 from 11:30AM – 6PM at the brewery, along with Dream Wave Fluctuation, we will also have Fluctuation for your side-by-side enjoyment and when you need to ride the wave back to reality. $20 per four pack limit 1 case per person, limits subject to change.

Fluctuation pours a very hazy tangerine color, releasing bright tropical notes of passion fruit, mango, pineapple, and lychee with an undercurrent of sorbet and cream. Fluctuation tastes highly resinous and tropical with an assertive yet soft bitterness. We consider Fluctuation to be perfectly unbalanced.

This Saturday 6/16 from 11:30AM – 6PM at the brewery, we will be debut cans of our Other Half Collaboration: Dream Wave Fluctuation (8.1% DIPA) at $20 per four pack. Limit 1 case per person, limits subject to change.

Think of a galaxy forward Fluctuation plus Other Half’s Dream treatment. A fluctuation from beta brain waves to alpha and theta waves shifts your consciousness from alertness, cognition, and concentration to a dream state of relaxation, visualization, creativity, intuition, and vivid visual imagery. Sam from Other Half came up to brew with us and we discussed potential synergies between our two heavily hopped styles. We ended up taking EQs fluctuation grain bill and adding oats and (for the first time in EQ commercial application) lactose in-line with Other Half’s Dream treatment. This beer was followed by an aggressive dry hop of Galaxy and Citra.

Dream Wave Fluctuation pours a hazy glowing tangerine color releasing aromas of passion fruit, peach, lactose, and pineapple all integrated with a juicy twist. The taste is a smooth a bright creamy tropical wave of flavor with a touch of sweet that is dangerously drinkable and balanced.

Tomorrow, 6/14 marks Mohawk Taproom & Grill’s 4th Anniversary. As they have been Equilibrium supporters from the start, we wanted to help celebrate. There will be 6 lines of our beer for their anniversary party along with to-go cans. If you live in the capital district come stop by tomorrow night!

Meet Matt, as he works towards his degree in biology he helps out with production and maintenance here at Equilibrium. Some of his duties include keeping the fermenters and brite tanks squeaky clean, transferring beer, assisting with set up and helping run the canning line. He also bottles and packages.
Along with making mead, Matt is also very passionate about wine and has held a wine making position at a local winery. Following his degree, he hopes to transfer to a viticulture and enology program which will further enrich his knowledge of the cultivation of grapes and wine making. Matt often brings samples of his mead and wine to share around the brewery, we love those days.
