The NYC beer scene is on fire with high quality breweries and Wild East Brewing and Threes Brewing are two of the most standout breweries in the city. They also happen to be located a couple of blocks apart in the downtown Brooklyn neighborhood of Gowanus. Both breweries make some of the best lagers, mixed ferm, and, due to customer demand, hop forward beers that the masses love. This shipment comes to you from the NY state beer store Halftime Beverage, which ships to a long list of states and allows you to get beers from not one brewery, but two (or you could of course order a case with beers from many other breweries that they have in stock).

Suggested Order

1 full case that includes 4 packs of

• Wild East Ramble (Helles Lager)

• Wild East Patience & Fortitude (Czech-Style Pilsner)

• Wild East Fervor & Defiance (Czech-Style Dark Lager)

• Threes Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More (Imperial Stout)

• Threes Vliet (Pilsner)

• Threes Logical Conclusion (Hazy IPA)

💰 Details

• $156.43 all-in, including shipping or $6.51 per can.

🐋 Whale hunters: this release is for you. Best Damn Beer Shop in San Diego currently ships 10 varieties of Drie Fonteinen bottles. Drie Fonteinen is our favorite sour beer maker on Earth. We’ve been to Brussels, tried every Lambic maker (including Cantillon) and Drie Fonteinen continues to stand out as the most complex and balanced Lambic maker. Many of these beers are not available anywhere else in the US right now, but you can order them from the comfort of your phone and have them shipped right to your front door. Disclosure: this beer is expensive. It’s reserved for the most special occasions when you want to enjoy some of the finest beers available on the planet. This beer will wow any friend you have who identifies as a wine snob and ‘doesn’t like beer.’ It will dance on your palate and overwhelm you with flavor and complexity. Flowery language over.

Suggested Bottles

These are the bottles we’re planning to order ourselves:

Prium Belle De Louvain: made using ancient Belle De Louvain plums.

Druif Musca Bleu: From Drie Fonteinen: “Muscat Bleu grapes from Wijndomein Hoenshof in Hoepertingen, Haspengouw region, Flanders. Muscat Bleu is a hybrid wine and table grape and has its origins in Switzerland. We macerated the grape must with four different lambics from two different barrels. We let it macerate for five months and blended the grape lambic with another three young lambics prior to bottling. The final fruit intensity is 38.1% of grape must per litre of Druif Muscat Bleu.”

Intens Rood: this is a special version of their Kriek also using cherries.

Equilibrium has a dizzying array of hoppy beers available in cans to choose from allowing you to choose just about any hop variety or combination of hop varieties you can dream up.

These heavy-hitters clocking in at 15+% ABV justify the cost of shipping, bringing you some slow sippers this winter. For those of you who prefer Other Half’s famous hoppy beers, you can also build your own case of hoppy cans.
