    Check their social media. They post when they sell out. Obviously it depends on how far away you are from the brewery. 3-4 is risky. :/

    On a side note, I feel you on planning your days around your baby's nap time. When my son switched to 1 long nap and dropped the afternoon nap, it really opened up our weekends haha.

    Thanks man. He’s 15 months and kind of unpredictable with his napping these days. Usually likes a 1pm...I’m only 45 mins from
    The brewery so maybe I will put him
    In the car around then and he’ll sleep while I drive.

    Hey guys, I haven't been to Equilibrium since they were 2 or 3 months old. I'm planning to go tomorrow morning, Saturday. The can release is stated to be at 11:30 am. My question is, does the tap room really open for business at 7am? And will wristbands or tickets he given out for the can release? Just wondering what to expect Saturday morning. Thanks for the help

    Yes and yes. Go to the taproom when you get there, grab a ticket, drink beer if that's your thing first thing in the morning, then line up and buy beer at 11:30.

    i wonder if any of you were there Saturday when that guy threw a fit about not being able to get back in line. The video made it to Reddit and to a facebook group im in. He got so much heat in the FB group he blocked a bunch of people.

    What are the odds of this lasting through next Thursday? HOMES is fantastic.

    It's probably 100% that it sells out on Saturday. The lab series goes fast. They do keep a small amount set aside for "locals" for sale on Wednesday and Thursday, though.

    I'm passing by on Thursday. Is there a secret sign to show I'm "local"?

    Oh they don't actually check that you're local. I just put it in quotes because the whole idea was to save some of their releases for Middletown residents, but that doesn't stop people from driving from out of area to get cans on a weekday.

    Hi all, how quickly do the cans usually sell out? I’m planning on stopping in this Sunday and want to know the likelihood that they’ll have cans. Looks like there’s still plenty from previous releases so maybe it’s not an issue but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Looks like they are doing a pretty big release for Energy Evolution Day this Saturday. As a first timer, what time should I plan on getting there? I don't mind waiting in line but want to make sure I get cans to go. I'm thinking getting there early and hanging out or early afternoon. Any info will be helpful.

    considering 3/5 of it is repeats with new art, id say turnout strongly depends on the last 2 announced releases....

    Yeah that's what I figured. I'll check back in after they announce them.

    I showed up around noon this past Saturday, and there were maybe 3-4 people in the can line. Results will vary depending on the releases.

    I apologize in advance for not using the search function, but does anyone have good Sunday lunch recommendations for a kid-friendly place in Middletown?
    Thanks so much!

    Not sure if this is the right topic to post my question, but I don’t think we’ll have time to visit the brewery before we have to continue our road trip....so, is there a recommendation as to where to hunt for Equilibrium cans in Brooklyn? Sitting here at OH and will be heading to HF tomorrow, hoping to snag something before we leave.

    Guess too late. But just FYI barring some sort of special event, you’re not going to see EQ cans. The best option would have been using beermenus to find draft options - and maybe a couple of those would have been at places that do c/growlers.

    Between OH and HF you’ll be fine haha
