At Equinox Brewing Co. we focus on the social aspects of beer, bringing people out of their homes into a public house to enjoy good beer and good conversation. You won't find any TV's, just free live music every Friday and Saturday. On sunny days our Beer Garden provides a shady space to relax and sip a pint. Our brewers work tirelessly to keep our 18 taps filled with a wide variety of palate pleasing creations. Our continually changing line of beers reaches local bars and restaurants via our custom-made keg trike, a self-limiting distribution model that keeps our beer local.
The most common question we get is, why Equinox Brewing? The equinox, and the intrigue of equal night and day, has deep roots in history and ritual. But, at the same time, the equinox marks the changing of the season, and forces us to look toward the future. We find it interesting that the two days out of the year that have perfect light and dark balance also show the balance between the past and the future, tradition and innovation. Beer contains similar elements. Sure, there's the balance of flavors in a beer; sweet and bitter, rich and simple.
We find another aspect of beer's balancing act fascinating. Historically, beer styles have developed because of limitations in local ingredients and the necessity to make do with what you have. However, due to global trade and modern shipping methods, limitations on ingredients have been removed. We can get any ingredients we want. While most modern brewers recognize the importance of beer styles and learn from the brewers who made them, they certainly don't limit themselves to making beers that fit into traditional definitions.
On one level our beers fit into some traditional styles, but we put our own twist on them. We want our beers to capture elements from the past and incorporate new ideas, ingredients and techniques into them. We're not afraid to try new things.
