Zilker Camp Beer – Hazy Pale Ale 5.3%ABV

Nebraska Gimme S’more– We’re fans of the great outdoors and one of the things that makes the mind wander to thoughts of camping is a great fire and S’Mores.

Crack a can and enter into temptation. 7.7% ABV

Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome – This seasonal beer is a limited edition brewed for the short days and long nights of winter. The full body resulting from fermentation in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ and the luxurious malt character, which will appeal to a broad range of drinkers, is balanced against whole-dried Fuggle and Golding hops with nuances and complexities that should be contemplated before an open fire. 6%ABV

Equilibrium Fluctuation DDH DIPA – Fluctuations from the sun hurl particles of plasma towards earth and create the dramatic display known as the Aurora Borealis. Fluctuation is our 8.1 % DIPA that releases bright tropical notes of passion fruit, mango, pineapple, and lychee with an undercurrent of sorbet and cream. Fluctuation tastes highly resinous and tropical with an assertive yet soft bitterness and our #EQjuice finish. Fluctuation features the Aurora Borealis, illustrated by local artist, Julia Green. 8.1% ABV

Equilibrium Fractal Mosaic – Fractal Mosaic is the first release from our small-batch Research Series. A fractal is something simple at the core yet can produce wonderful and amazingly complex results. The fractal series will have only pale malt and a single hop (simple). We will use these beers to investigate how different hops manifest through our processes, allowing us to optimize both our use of hops and our hopping techniques. Fractal Mosaic pours a resinous-hazy-straw yellow releasing complex aromas of dank citrus, earthy grass, tropical melon, and a hint of berries (complex). The taste is highly resinous, piney, juicey, with a slightly creamy mouthfeel, and a firm but rounded bitterness. The medley of characteristics makes the name “Fractal Mosaic” warranted indeed. 6.8% ABV

Equilibrium MC3 TIPA – The evolution is here and we are excited to bring it to you. MC³ breaks the laws of physics and implodes reality. Our flagship DIPA ‘MC²’ is photon’s hopping rate SQUARED, this TIPA is photon’s hop bill CUBED. Where Photon explodes into a rainbow of flavors, our first ever Double Whirlpool (DW) creates a rainbow of flavor that gets focused back to a singular stream of deliciousness as the next step in this energy evolution. This unique DW works synergistically with the appropriate Energy DH treatment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
MC³ is basically MC² on the maximum permissible dose (MPD) of steroids. Extremely bright citrus, big mango, and assorted melon aroma and flavors. A dense hop saturated mouthfeel from our Double Whirlpool coats the tongue and our EQ juice is amplified by our Energy dry-hop methods to near cosmic boom levels. 10% ABV

Equilibrium MC2 DIPA – mc² 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. It’s very drinkable for 8.0%; be careful, this one can sneak up on you

Equilibrium Light At The End Of The Tunnel – Light At The End of The Tunnel uses Photon as its inspiration with some modifications and upgrades including an all Survivable hop blend for the whirlpool and a large dose of Lupomax Citra in addition to a supersized Photon hop bill. Aromas and flavors of soft pineapple, navel orange, stone fruit, EQ’s rainbow melon, and lime juice radiate with a touch of pine resin at the finish making this beer an easy drinking accompaniment to celebrate the fact that we hopefully have the finish line in site. 6.8% ABv

Tilquin Gueuze L’Ancienne – The Gueuze Tilquin à l’ancienne (7.0% alc / vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon.

The taste is tart and dry but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze à l’ancienne particularly accessible for non-experts. It will also delight fans of the genre for its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness because of the youth of the oak barrels used, as they still release some tannins. It has a fresh lemony nose.

Tilquin Oude Mirabelle – During this season 20|21, we blended a new fruit beer, the Mirabelle Tilquin à l’ancienne 7.0 % alc. (available in 37,5cl & 75cl), which is is made from the fermentation of 240 g of Mirabelle plums by liter of lambic. 7% ABV

Tilquin Rullquin – Made with central Texas wildflower honey

Caruso e Minini Catarratto 2018 – Located on Sicily’s western-most coast near the town of Marsala, Caruso & Minini boasts a history that harks back to the late 1800’s when Antonio Caruso bought the company to grow grapes for the nearby Marsala factories. The company was passed through subsequent generations until Nino Caruso finally decided to begin making and bottling his own wine in the mid 1900’s. In 2004, Stefano Caruso joined forces with Mario Minini of Lombardy to launch the present-day winery, producing wines from indigenous Sicilian varietals such as Catarratto, Nero d’Avola, Frappato, Inzolia, and Nerello Mascalese. Today, Stefano’s daughter Giovanna works closely with her father to head up this historic winery.

Fresh and clean. Elegant and balanced fragrance that ends in a mineral and long finish. Pair with a simple lemon pasta, white meat or stand alone as an aperitif.

Bright straw yellow. Perfumed aromas of ripe tropical fruit, white flowers and lime. Bright and crisp but with a suavem rich mouthfeel that coats teh palate with previse Catarratto Lucido flavors of apricot, lime and herbs. Closes long dense and multilayered with a pungent floral quality. An absolutely knockout Catarratto, very likely the best I tried this year. Native yeasts and stainless steel only. Though the label doesn’t state so, this is 100% Catarratto Lucido. 13% ABV

Hamilton Russell Ashbourne 2018 – A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Chardonnay, the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay opens to a Sauvignon Blanc nose with the added richness of the Chardonnay to round the edges of the greenness associated with Sauvignon Blanc. While the notes of green bell pepper are present in the glass, there is a sweet caramel-apple tone hiding just under the grapefruit tones, becoming more evident on the palate. The wine is medium-bodied and has a slight touch of sweetness on the palate, as this does have almost two grams of residual sugar. It ends with a simple finish that lingers with tons of juicy pears and grapefruit.

– Anthony Mueller, The Wine Advocate, 2020. 13.5%ABV

Palivou, Anemos, Agiorgitiko 2020 -A deep-colored purple wine with intense fruity and clean aromas and the dominated flavors of cherries, strawberries and gooseberries.

Les Enfants Sauvages “Che Chauvio” Rouge – “Che Chauvio” is a phrase from the Occitan dialect meaning “If you knew” because it is so atypical, if you only knew where it comes from… This wine comes from 3 vineyards (2 plots of Cinsault and one plot of Syrah).

Syrah is pressed to tank / Cinsault is harvested at ripeness and added (whole-cluster) to the Syrah mid-fermentation for 3-5 / racked and pressed and finished in stainless steel. 11.5% ABV

Georges DuBoeuf Beaujolias Nouveau – An intense, brilliant cherry colour with purplish tints. Complex nose with red and black berry aromas. A smooth wine with fine tannins, harmonious and complete. Ideal for all occasions, from aperitif to cheese. 100% Gamay 12.5%ABV
