This Saturday 3/16 starting at 11:30am at the brewery, we will be selling bottles of Austin Black Currant/Blackberry. $16 per bottle. Limits set at 6 bottles per person, limits subject to change.

Austin (6.0%ABV) is a farmhouse ale built by the inspiration to share beer with people close to heart. It is pale, tart, delicate, and complex with a bit of pleasant funk. Austin was then refermented on black currants and blackberries at a rate of more than 2 lbs of fruit per gallon for additional months. The result is a jammy medley of currants and blackberry boosted by the expression of our microorganisms. This beer is unfiltered, unpasteurized, naturally carbonated and will continue to evolve over time if properly cellared.

Vulgar Display of Flower (8.5% ABV) is a tribute to an aggressive yet balanced assault on the senses. It blends East-meets-West coast DIPA with our own Equilibrium twist. It is dry, bitter, piny, resinous, yet remains smooth, juicy, and drinkable. This concoction displays the hop flower’s assertive yet delicious nature with an EQ juice finish.

This Saturday 3/2, starting at 11:30AM at the brewery, we are excited to bring you our collaboration with our friends, Finback Brewery, One Time For Your Mind (8.0% abv DIPA). $20 per four pack, limit 1 case per person, limits subject to change.

Cryo hops are processed using extremely cold temperatures, so when we were discussing the collab a few weeks back during one of NY’s brutalist cold spells ever, the joke of using these hops became a reality. As we froze that night in NYC, we discussed our mutual love of both Queens and music, Nas in particular. One Time For Your Mind was named.
One Time For Your Mind was made primarily with Cryo Hops, a first for us, along with supporting cast of hops to balance things out. It pours a bright tangerine color and has aromas and flavors of orange juice, additional citrus fruit, weed and earth. The finish builds up slowly and then explodes with our signature #EQjuice.

BA Syrup Sandwiches

As we prep beers for Huna, we thought we’d give everyone a little preview of what we’re concocting -A small single Hill Rock Rye Whiskey Barrel aged maple syrup for extended time, was emptied, and then melded with special relativity 2 for several months. This beer was then further conditioned on Madagascar Vanilla, Mostra Brazil Coffee and Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee.

Tasting Notes: We don’t know yet because it’s still being finished! But help us fill them out this Saturday when we tap it at 2 PM in our taproom. This will be the only sixtel in existence outside of Huna.

This Saturday 02/16 starting at 11:30AM at the brewery, we bring you our collab with our homies Interboro NYC: Agent Orange (8.0% abv DIPA) at $20 per four pack. Limit 1 case per person, limits subject to change.

Agent Orange is our first collaboration made here in Middletown with our friends from Interboro Spirits and Ales. This beer is inspired by local togetherness, EQ’s home in Orange County, Jesse’s background in the indie hip-hop scene, and one of Middletown’s own underground hip-hop stars. This beer is as complex as the concept. So what happens when you take a healthy dose of 2-row, wheat and oats combined with a hop bill of amarillo, citra, belma, and simcoe and age it on fresh orange zest?
You get a bright yellow hazy citrusy DIPA that smells of futuristic oranges and tastes of peach, tropical fruit and dank orange fruit cup with a touch of canabis. The fresh zest compliments the flavors and helps mimic the fresh squeezed OJ Grandma used to make on a Sunday morning, just with new level oranges. It has a chewy mouthfeel and absolutely explodes with our #EQjuice.

Cliff Notes: Think Adrestia with Orange Zest!

As a reminder, tickets will be handed out on Saturday at 7am in our taproom. If you arrive before that, kindly hold your own place in line until an employee arrives to open.

This Saturday 02/16, from 11:30AM-10pm at the brewery, we are happy to bring you our collaboration with Alewife Brewing Company, Entente (8.0% abv DIPA) at $20 per four pack. Limit 1 case per person, limits subject to change.

Entente is a term for parties with a common interest or goal. Patrick and Keir from Alewife Brewing (which was recently awarded best new brewery in NY by Rate Beer) came up to Middletown and brewed this beer with us to blend our two styles of beermaking.
Entente was made using a grain bill of 2 row and white wheat utilizing both old and new school hops. It pours a glowing yellow color and has an aroma of just peeled oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits. The citrus medley flavor dominates along with a touch of light pine. The finish is soft and resinous with an escalating build up of our #EQjuice.

We have received some inquiries on how the ticket process will work for Saturday’s release. Tickets will be handed out at 7am in the taproom when it opens. If you arrive before that, kindly hold your own place in line until attendants arrive.

This Saturday 02/16, from 11:30AM-10PM at the brewery, we are extremely excited to offer our first beer aged in oak barrels: Barrel Aged Special Relativity 1 at $20 per bottle. Due to the very limited yield out of this single barrel, limit is set at 1 bottle per person. We don’t expect these bottles to make it into Sunday and we will not be holding any for the following Thursday.

Special Relativity is a special case of General Relativity, which focuses more on time (and space) as opposed to gravity. Embracing the theme of time, we chose Bourbon Barrels from our friends at Hillrock Estate Distillery. Hill Rock Distillery produces hand-crafted spirits made with their own grain, floor malted, craft distilled in copper pot still, and aged in fine oak. Special Relativity 1 was allowed to equilibrate for over 8 months with Hill Rock bourbon, charred oak, and smoke flavors to achieve a harmonious and synergistic balance. This beer opens up with strong notes of oak, bourbon, char, and bittersweet chocolate, with a slight touch of coffee. Its flavor follows the aroma with a full viscous body and a smooth chocolate-bourbon palate linger that lets you enjoy the transition time between sips as it warms your soul. This beer should be served near room temperature (~68 F) to enjoy the bouquet of complexity that went into its creation. This beer will cellar well at proper temperatures (55 – 65 F).
