This Saturday 4/14 from 11:30am-6pm at the brewery, we will be selling cans of MC² at $18 per four pack. Limit 1 case per person, limits subject to change.
MC² (8.0% ABV) is Photon’s big brother. We literally took Photon’s hopping rate and squared it. This DIPA is our tribute to the amazing relationship that energy and mass are balanced, proportional to the speed of a photon squared. It pours a hazy tangerine color, releasing bright tropical notes of mango, pineapple, and apricot. MC² tastes like succulent mango juice loaded with chewy hop resins. This newest batch once again showcases the new school EQ juice finish we have been after.

Now & Later!
on April 10, 2018 No commentsHey Syracuse! This Saturday 4/14 at 11 AM, we have a pop up mobile can sale of limited cases of dHop5 and dHop10 and tap takeover at Now & Later Bar.
To further help upstate-NY beer drinkers outside of our distribution territory access our beer with a bit more ease, we are partnering up with Jason Purdy of Now & Later and our old friend Mikey Metaxas. In December 2016, Jason purchased some of our first production beer ever and he developed a great working relationship and friendship with Ricardo. Mikey has been with us since we were riding around chasing whales and sampling Pete’s home brew. We are very excited about this partnership and the EQ crew will be there in person to celebrate at the Now & Later event. Please check out Now & Later in the coming days for full details.

on April 9, 2018 No commentsWe are beyond thrilled to announce that Equilibrium Brewery is finally getting a taproom! Since our first release February 2017, we feel a connection to the beer community that is stronger than ever. This last year was amazing – even with just a few hundred square feet of pavement and freezing temperatures – we experienced epic shares, people sleeping in vans overnight, experimental beers, boiz crazy for haze, people punting tekus, descendants of Genghis Khan, scantily clad chuggers, bed pan meatballs, surprise magnum winners, people out of equilibrium, and several other antics that counsel has stricken from this post. From all this insanity, it was clear that it wasn’t flashy lights… or heat… or protection from the elements… or things needed by humans for basic survival… that made Saturday mornings so amazing. Rather, it is the beer community itself that generates the experience. As this community grows, we are thrilled to see Middletown locals joining in shares and releases (thank you for the cupcakes last weekend!). We want to give the people creating this experience the space to enhance it further. The new building will create the proper environment to enjoy our liquid, which should be the very space that the liquid itself was conceptually constructed, tested, executed, refined, and conditioned.
Below are the high-level basics and some QnA we’ve received.
Basics of the new location:
* Where: A few blocks away from our current location (see attached map)
* When: ASAP. We hope to have the share area/beer garden completed in Fall 2018 and the indoor taproom the following winter.
* Intent: Further the amazing community experience, establish sour and stout barrel programs, smoke brisket and add Argentinian BBQ, play bags and drink without concern, enjoy life and share stories over EQ liquid and beers worldwide.
QnA:
* Where will the can/bottle releases be? Releases will continue at the current space for now. As soon as we are licensed, we will move the releases to the 5,000 sq ft outdoor share area (see map).
* Will there be food? Yes. Joe’s Breakfast sandwiches aren’t going anywhere. We will add a big smoker for Pete’s Brisket and other goodies, and a parrilla for Ricardo and Chino to work some South American BBQ magic. We are also in discussion to work with our good friends from Holy Dog and Mix N Mac.
* Are you getting bigger tanks? Nope. Our beer is getting better and better on the tank size we have and we’re going to keep it that way. The End.
* When will you start barrel aging? We hope to have pilot barrels of sours and stouts in a few weeks and we’ll expand this organically as we become comfortable with the process and the behavior of our base beers and adjuncts.
We are all extremely grateful for your support and the opportunity to do what we love, with the people we love, and share our beer with this community.
On behalf of everyone from Equilibrium Brewery,
Thank you!
dHop10
on April 5, 2018 No commentsThis Saturday 4/7 from 11:30am-6pm at the brewery, alongside dHop5 we will be selling cans of dHop10. $20 per four pack with a 1-case limit per person. Limits are subject to change.
dHop10 is a 8.5% DIPA using a blend of FOUR different hops while utilizing the same grain bill as dHop5. This flavor profile exudes pineapple, pear and lime with faint notes of pine and cannabis. It pours a hazy straw yellow with a nose reminiscent of tropical fruits. The taste is dank and tropical with a mild hop bitterness while having a mouthfeel that is both creamy and pillowy.

on April 4, 2018 No commentsIt’s Back!
This Saturday 4/7 from 11:30am-6pm at the brewery we are pleased to announce the return of dHop5. $20 per 4-pack, limit set at one case per person, limits subject to change.
dHop 5 is a 8.5% DIPA that supersizes one of our favorite Equilibrium IPAs: Fractal Citra/Galaxy. We scaled Fractal’s grain bill, water treatment, fermentation, and super sized the hop bill of citra and galaxy. dHop5 pours a milky straw yellow (milk>haze) releasing aromas of passion fruit, peach, lime, and pineapple all integrated with a sorbet twist. The taste is a bright creamy tropical flavor that is dangerously drinkable and balanced.
More to come…
MC^2
on March 30, 2018 No commentsThis Saturday 3/31 from 11:30am-6pm at the brewery, alongside Austin Plum and dHop3 we will be selling cans of MC² at $18 per four pack. Limit 1 case per person, limits subject to change as we only produced enough for 100 cases.
One of our favorite batches to date, MC² (8.0% ABV) is Photon’s big brother. We literally took Photon’s hopping rate and squared it. This DIPA is our tribute to the amazing relationship that energy and mass are balanced, proportional to the speed of a photon squared. It pours a hazy tangerine color, releasing bright tropical notes of mango, pineapple, and apricot. MC² tastes like succulent mango juice loaded with chewy hop resins. This batch really showcases the new school EQ juice finish we have been experimenting with.
Please note: We will be closed for Sunday for the Holiday.

on March 29, 2018 No commentsThis Saturday 3/31 from 11:30am-6pm at the brewery, alongside Austin Plum we will be selling cans of dHop3. $20 per 4-pack, limit 1 case per person.
dHop3 is a 8.5% DIPA that investigates the interplay between our fermentation and an intensive Mosaic, Citra, and Galaxy forward hop bill woven four times into its creative process. It pours a very murky tangerine color releasing notes of passion fruit, lime, and pineapple integrated with a juicy twist. The taste is highly resinous, dank-citrus, and pine with a brightness that builds towards the finish and ends with a graceful but firm bitterness. This batch really showcases the new EQ juice we’ve been experimenting with: think Sexual Fluctuation and Evenmore Unbalanced had a baby.

on March 28, 2018 No commentsThis Saturday 3/31 from 11:30am-6pm at the brewery we will be selling bottles of Austin Plum. $15 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 plums at a rate of more than 2 lbs of fruit per gallon for additional months. The result is a bright stone-fruit character boosted by the expression of our microorganism. This beer is unfiltered, unpasteurized, naturally carbonated and will continue to evolve over time if properly cellared.
