    Equilibrium is back with another drop of haze. The Open Bottle has 4 of the 5 left for pre-order. Not sure if it will be at other locations in the area.

    -MC2
    -Fluctuation
    -Fractal Citra/Mosaic
    -Energy Equals
    -Super Fractal Mandelbrot Set

    They’re expensive 4 packs but I thought they were worth it last August as a treat/special occasion.

    Iron & Glass posted the beers with pricing too ...YIKES those prices! "Expensive" is a 4pk for $20, so I'm not sure how to describe $25 and up. These sat for awhile last time, so I suppose we'll see what the demand is.

    yeah that’s fair. The Triple will sell out so I wouldn’t wait on that if interested. I’m personally fine with going into the mid-high 20’s for the out of town drops like this and Other Half. But I wouldn’t begrudge anyone who says it’s too high for them

    I think craft beer has officially gone too far.

    Open Bottle has just 2 of the 5 remaining. In this WFH environment with online ordering and flexible pickup windows, all bets are off with chasing haze

    There's no way Equilibrium shipped beer here just for a few suburban spots. I imagine it will probably surface in the city in a day or two

    Fractal is merely fine (good flavors but too light for the abv and nothing on the finish) but I am really enjoying Energy Equals

    I thought the fractal was fantastic

    Had a Super Fractal Mandelbrot last night. Was underwhelmed. The most recent TIPA I've had was Stone Froze by HB. Thought that one was much better.

    interesting. Thought it was one of the better triples I have ever had. I didn’t get a chance to try Stone Froze though.

    Maybe I got a couple of off cans? Or my palate sucks haha. I'm having my second one now. Tastes like overripe peaches.

    Nothing I had worth seeking out from EQ again at the price point. Fluctuation was probably best of the latest beers that hit IL but we are just too spoiled with great IPA's here.

    Agreed. Far better local options from what I've had. This was my second or third go around with Equilibrium.

    Not trying to be argumentative but just genuinely surprised. Who do you think is making haze locally as good or better than Equilibrium?
