    Went to the one in Wayne this morning. They started sales about 15 min early which was cool since it was freezing cold out. I grabbed everything but Photon and Rock Fantasy. I've heard their beer a few times before but not in this large of quantities so I'm pretty excited

    As someone with a science background, it's cool to see their approach to brewing (analytical/mathematical models, quantifying taste and hop character, DoE)

    This Saturday 02/15, starting at 11:30am, at 2 South Street we are excited to offer Batch 2 of 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 back for Monday.
    Special Relativity is a special case of General Relativity, which focuses more on time (and space) as opposed to gravity. For Batch 2 we chose a barrel from Buffalo Trace Distillery, where BASR1 sat for 11 months to add notes of charred oak, light vanilla and mild caramel to create 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).
    More to come!

    Seriously, with the amount of events they do and their following, it seems like it'd be best to keep these on site.

    As someone who has never attended a release at EQ, what should I expect line-wise on Saturday? Is it OH levels? Thanks in advance.

    Not really, just saying they're being sold at the brewery...unless you meant for onsite consumption only, in which case I misunderstood what you were saying.

    Which Other Half?
    Anniversary - No
    Non-Anniversary - Probably a little longer

    I would expect there to be around 60 when they open the share tent and probably 120 or so when they open. But there isn't a line once the bottle share begins at 8 and you can gauge pretty well when to get in line to buy when they open.

    What, if anything, can be expected to last through the middle of next week? And does EQ do pre-filled or made-to/order crowlers? Trying to plan a lunch stop on Wednesday and figure out what might be available to go. Thanks!

    Whatever they have available is on their website. https://www.eqbrew.com/whats-available/

    They always have mc2 and photon. The cans that they release on Saturday usually stick around unless it's something hype.

    This Saturday 02/22, starting at 11:30am, at 2 South Street we are excited to bring you Barrel Aged Swiss Bliss (12% Imperial Stout), a collaboration with @shortthrowbrewing . $22 per 500ml bottle , Limit 3PP. As with all BA releases, we will not be holding any back for Monday sales.
    When Brandon came to visit almost a year ago we added an Imperial Stout to select Buffalo Trace barrels. While he was here, he told us about one of his favorite coffees from home in Richmond, VA; a Swiss Chocolate Almond roast that he loves drinking and the idea for Swiss Bliss came to light. 11 months later we chose, and for the first time at EQ, blended three barrels before treating the beer with @rostovscoffee Swiss Chocolate Almond Coffee, Almonds, and Marshmallow. The result is a beautifully decadent brownie stout laced with a rich nutty flavor from the almonds and a slightly sweet magical marshmallow finish with just enough coffee to cut through any sweetness. The barrel characteristic offers a beautiful caramel finish and this beer drinks like a bowl of rocky road ice cream.

    We are happy to introduce a new beer in the Super Fractal Series, Super Fractal Koru Set (10.0 % ABV TIPA). $22 per four pack. Limit 1 case per person, limits subject to change.
    The Koru is a New Zealand Māori term for a spiral shape that constantly evolves to symbolize new life and growth and resembles a fractal set. After thoroughly enjoying Super Fractal Phoenix Set, we wanted to grow Super Fractal as a series using hops exclusively from New Zealand and the Super Fractal Koru Set was born. Scaled up 3x from Fractal, we used a super simple grain bill of 2row and our specific fractal fermentation profile before intensely hoping it with Nelson, Motueka, Waimea, Rakau, and Wakatu.
    Super Fractal Koru Set pours a vivid hazy yellow with an aroma of tropical citrus and lime. The flavor is bright candied orange peel, black currant, and white grapes with a light lime finish. This is a crazy one with some intense fruit tones. This beer is extremely aromatic and crushable with a big #EQjuice profile that might just leave you seeing beautiful and spirals shapes yet again.

    Got up there last week...family pit stop on the way farther north. Sadly the brisket sold out before we got there but the pulled pork and ribs were legit. Did not expect such good bbq there to be honest.

    MC2 and energy wave were both quite good.

    Just got mine, super easy and surprisingly early. I live in Washington Heights so I guess I must've been the first stop after the GWB.

    Have you received any sort of shipping information yet?
    I placed an order Friday and have not heard anything. Their instructions on instagram are kind of confusing. It mentions shipping is $25 and you have to add the $10 NY/LI charge so I assume that and the $15 delivery charge is the shipping charge?
