Einstein’s Delight

on May 18, 2020 No comments
At Noon today for pickup at 2PM or later, we are selling Einstein’s Delight (10.5% TIPA) at $24 per 4-pk. We will have this available for pre-order with options for curbside pickup at the brewery or delivery throughout NY, D.C., Ohio, and Nevada.
Einstein’s Delight is a play off one of his favorite desserts, Orange Sticky Cake, which we first debuted on Energy Evolution Day as Einstein’s Favorite. We wanted to explore the possibilities and swapped out vanilla with a creamy marshmallow twist.
We took our SOTL base, added some of our favorite hops and a galactic dose of Florida navel orange zest and Marshmallow. This dessert themed beer has bright notes and flavors of tropical orange slices and assorted citrus and sweet creamy marshmallow frosting. This beer is fun and tasty. It’s extremely smooth and reminds us of an orange creamsicle dipped in a jar of Fluff. A delight Einstein would love.
No lactose was harmed while making this beer..

On Pete’s recent trip to Australia, he created a new Super Fractal without even knowing it. A can of Come At Me, Bro pictured with some of our new found friends being fresh sticking out her tongue with the baby roo looking longingly waiting for his 21st bday (look closely on the label). These are BuckWild Roos inside Roos inside Roos inside Roos with those Limited edition Payton Roo shoes. With Aussie forward hops and a picture like that, Super Fractal Kangaroo Set was born. (Note: no Roos were actually allowed to drink).
Super Fractal Kangaroo Set starts off with a fractal grain bill and keeping the hops All Aussie Everything, Galaxy leads the way on the dry hop with some support from Sabro and Citra. Super Fractal Kangaroo set pours a hazy intense yellow with aromas of tropical fruit, coconut, and assorted citrus. The flavors of orange, melon, and gummy bears permeate with under an umbrella of Pina colada. Tiki drinks on an Australian beach come to mind with each sip. This beer is extremely smooth for its size and contains our explosive #EQjuice profile giving you melon and gummy notes on the backend.

At Noon today, we are selling Vitamin C-4 (8.5% DIPA) at $20 per 4-pk (No Limit). A collaboration with our friends from Vitamin Sea Brewing. We will have this available for pre-order with options for curbside pickup at the brewery or delivery throughout NYS. Please note, this collaboration is not available for out of state shipping.
On our collaboration Zoom call with Uncle Dino, we decided to bring everyone a hop bomb: Vitamin C-4. We decided to use four of our favorite hops that start with the letter C in an effort to bring you C-4 in beer form: Citra, Cashmere, Columbus, and… More Citra. Vitamin C-4 uses this hop bill and a base of 2-row, White Wheat, and Flaked Oats to pour a creamy gentle yellow and has a robust orange, citrus, mango nose. Flavors of bright orange, tangerine, peach, and mango flow throughout each sip with notes of tang and melon on the backend.

Kiwi

At Noon today, we are selling Kiwi (8.0% DIPA) at $20 per 4-pk. No Limit. We will have this available for pre-order with options for curbside pickup at the brewery or delivery throughout NYS, Washington, D.C., and Ohio.
Kiwi is the endearing nickname of New Zealanders based on the native flightless birds, which are a symbol for the uniqueness of New Zealand wildlife and value of natural heritage. Kiwis are much like New Zealand’s rare and difficult to obtain hop, Riwaka. Often heard about but challenging to source, Riwaka needs much care to grow which leads to only a small amount being processed. When we were able to source to secure some Freestyle Riwaka and it reminds us of the elusive Kiwi… especially if you don’t have an Ellie in the forest to help search.
Kiwi starts out with a Fractal grain bill before a Citra whirlpool and a healthy dry hop of Riwaka, Nelson, and touch of citra. Kiwi pours an extremely vivid milky yellow with juicy notes permeating as soon as you pop the can open. Powerful flavors open up of bright orange, passionfruit, mango, and Riesling grape with lighter notes of berry, white pepper, and New Zealand earth. Kiwi has a beautiful creamy mouthfeel and our signature #EQjuice finish that will transport you to the lush and beautiful island rain forests of New Zealand in just a few sips.

Blåbærry Pancake Breakfast Stout

on May 18, 2020 No comments

This Monday, 05/04/20, at 9AM on Eventbrite, we will release one of our most decadent creations yet, Blåbærry Pancake Breakfast Stout, a collaboration with friends from Evil Twin Brewing NYC and Mostra Coffee (11% Imperial Stout) $20 per 500ML bottle. 1 bottle per person or unique credit card (NO PROXIES).
Tomorrow would have been our third year in Copenhagen as part of Team Bläbær with our dear friends Jeppe and Rasmus at Copenhagen’s world-famous beer bar Himmeriget for the Cantillon Bläbær release. This event, the people, and the antics that surround this monumental celebration is one of our favorite events of the year. Even though we couldn’t go to Copenhagen this year, we wanted to make a beer to commemorate the day we love so much. To commemorate Blåbær Day 2020, Equilibrium will celebrate LIVE on a Facebook streamed ZOOM call with Evil Twin, Himmeriget, and Mostra Coffee on 5/16 at 3PM. We would love for you to join us with this beer or anything blueberry.
Bläbærry Pancake Breakfast Stout starts off with an incredibly long boil to create an extremely thick and viscous base before we conditioned it on Mostra Ghost Bear Espresso Blend, Catskill Mountain Sugar House Maple Syrup, Blueberries, Marshmallows, and Lactose. The result is incredible. BPBS pours pitch black with bluish hued tan head while releasing aromas of chocolate cake batter, espresso, sweet maple syrup, and blueberry pancakes. The mouthfeel is decadent and chewy with a balanced and layered flavor of all its components. The olfactory experience flows with deep chocolate notes kissed with maple, light jammy blueberries, and sweet marshmallow balanced with potent espresso. Smooth, creamy, and opulent, this beer checks all the boxes and may be our favorite pastry stouts yet.

dHop21

on May 18, 2020 No comments

Today at noon, we will be selling cans of dHop 21 (8.5% DIPA) at $20 per 4pk for pre-order pickup and delivery throughout NYS and Washington, D.C.

For the next beer in our experimental series, we started with a grain bill of oat malt, flaked oats, and white wheat. We used a full-on Citra whirlpool and a dry hop of Citra, Sabro, and Belma in an effort to pull some exotic fruit flavors. dHop 21 pours a hazy tangerine with a very aromatic aroma profile. Notes of bright passionfruit and citrus explode with a light finish of coconut and strawberry. The beer is soft and creamy with a beautiful #EQjuice profile. Pulling the most that each hop has to offer has us reminiscing of some of our favorite tiki drinks. Sit back, relax, and transport yourself with a beer that will bring you right to the beach.

All Together

on April 29, 2020 No comments

At Noon today, we are selling our version of All Together (6.5 % IPA) at $16 per 4-pk. No Limit. We’ll have this available for pre-order with options for curbside pickup or delivery throughout NYS and Washington, D.C.
When Other Half Brewing Company asked to create a Middletown Version of All Together, we immediately said yes. All Together is a worldwide, open-ended beer collaboration created to raise support for the industry we love so much. It’s an effort to raise awareness and provide relief, even in the smallest way, to those who are struggling because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A portion of the proceeds of our All Together sales will be going to The Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) Coronavirus Relief Effort which works to provide relief and resources to restaurant workers affected by the coronavirus crisis.
Our version of All Together was brewed with the OH recipe on top our special water profile and a few other Middletown touches. Aromas of aromatic citrus and fresh cut pineapple this beer explodes with notes of vibrant fruit punch, pineapple juice, and light floral notes while finishing with one of the biggest #EQjuice profiles found in one of our single IPA’s yet.
As we are sure you’ve noticed, every brewery was asked to put their own twist on the label art. We chose a very poignant image, not knowing at the time it was taken, it would be one of the last bustling Saturdays our taproom would open to the public, when we were in fact and truly, All Together. Until we can do that again, stay safe and stay positive!

Rho – Lotus and Oberon

on April 29, 2020 No comments

Today 4/24/2020, starting at 12pm for pre- order pickup and delivery throughout NYS and Washington, D.C., we are happy to introduce Equilibrium’s next experimental coffee stout variant, Rho – Lotus and Oberon (10.0% ABV Imperial Coffee Stout with a touch of maple syrup and lactose) at $16 per 500ml bottle. No Limits, Minimum of 3 required for delivery without hops.
In Science, the symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter Rho). We used the Rho grain bill to create a stout with a dense mouthfeel and a dialed back bitterness. To help elevate this into a coffee stout, we worked closely with Mike and the experts at Mostra Coffee. Mostra Coffee is an artisan micro-roasting company that sources, roasts, brews, and serves only high-grade specialty coffee. Mostra was recently named a top three finalist for Roaster of the Year 2019 from Roast Magazine, and won Best Original Cold Brew and Best Signature Cold Brew at the Cold Brew City Competition.
Collectively, we chose a blend of unique washed single origin ‘Vietnam Lotus’ coffee, which has notes of dark chocolate, date, baking spice, butterscotch while ‘Brazil Oberon’ is chocolate and nutty. This viscous stout was further conditioned on maple syrup and lactose to complement and round the distinct notes of these unique beans
Rho pours jet black with a saturated caramel colored head. This Lotus and Oberon coffee create an extremely integrated and well-balanced beer. Its aroma is dark chocolate, roasted coffee, caramel, butterscotch, and sugar. The taste is a milky dark chocolate, coffee, maple, and a lingering coffee backbone with light bitterness. It is silky, creamy, and viscous.

Super Fractal Julia Set

on April 29, 2020 No comments

At noon we’ll be selling Super Fractal Julia Set (10.5% TIPA) at $22 per 4-pk on our website for pre-order pickup and delivery throughout NYS and Washington, D.C. No Limit!
The Julia Set is named after the French mathematician Gaston Julia. This complex set exists as a by-product of the Mandelbrot set and was devised while studying complex dynamics during the early 20th century. This set of complex numbers can cause drastic changes in the sequence of iterated functions.
Tying this into the newest beer of our series, we scaled up from Fractal using a super simple grain bill of 2-Row and our specific fractal fermentation profile before intensely hoping it with a Mosaic and El Dorado whirlpool and a dry hop of Citra, Mosaic, Strata and El Dorado.
Super Fractal Julia Set pours a vivid hazy yellow with an aroma of tropical citrus, ripe red berries, and candied lemon peel. Big flavors of navel orange, mango, stone fruit, currants, and berry come alive in a dangerously drinkable and smooth #EQjuice finish. The quest to have you seeing spirals and weird shapes continues.

Fulcrum

on April 29, 2020 No comments

Today at opening we’ll be selling our newest beer, Fulcrum (8.0% DIPA) at $20 per 4-Pack. No Limit.
It will be available for curbside pick-up as well as delivery throughout New York State and Washington, D.C.
A Fulcrum is the point on which a lever rests. The fulcrum pivots and adjusts to keep everything in balance and as close to ideal as possible given the situation. The craft beer industry has been thrown for a loop these last few weeks and we have all been doing our best to pivot and find our fulcrum. Along with our friends and peers we’ve tried to adapt during these difficult times. We want this beer to be a reminder that even under less than ideal situations, find your resiliency and let’s bounce back and grow from the challenge.
Fulcrum was brewed with a base of white wheat and oats for a soft base. We added Citra and Idaho-7 in the whirlpool and dry hopped it with Nelson, Strata, and Citra. Fulcrum pours a beautiful vivid yellow. As soon as you crack it open bright notes of grass and citrus permeate. Flavors of passionfruit, cannabis, and white wine grapes meld together beautifully with each sip. The buildup of dank juicy fruit counters with a light and balanced bittereness in the finish offering a fulcrum for a beer with such unique and powerful flavor.
