How we score

The editorial take

Equal Parts Brewing runs a beer program that refuses to sit still. Expect crisp lagers, hazy IPAs, and a tiki-inspired sour series that borrows cocktail complexity. The barrel program shows ambition, with a coffee-infused imperial stout and a silver-medal porter. A serious, creative tap list.

What should I order?: Start with the Exotica series—Scorpion or Jungle Bird—for tiki-inspired sour ales that mimic cocktail ingredients like orgeat and Campari. For something dark, Burial In Space, a 12% ABV barrel-aged imperial stout with coffee, or MFC, the barrel-aged imperial porter that won a 2024 Texas Craft Brewers Cup Silver Medal.
Who will enjoy this place?: Beer enthusiasts seeking adventurous styles and cocktail-inspired sours will find plenty to explore. Lovers of traditional lagers will appreciate the Italian-style pilsner and Japanese rice lager. The creative, nuanced approach appeals to those who want more than standard taproom fare.
When should I go?: The taproom offers a rotating selection, so any visit brings new discoveries. Seasonal releases and limited barrel-aged beers suggest timing visits around those drops. Evenings likely offer the full taproom experience, though exact hours are not documented.
What should I expect to spend?: Pricing information not available from first-party sources. As a brewery taproom, expect standard craft beer pricing, but no confirmed figures.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The Exotica series stands out, translating tiki cocktail recipes into sour ales with ingredients like pineapple, lime, orgeat, and Campari. The barrel program adds depth, using rye and whiskey barrels from Yellow Rose Distilling and coffee from Xela Coffee Roasters. A collaborative spirit is evident in Pink Boots collaborations.
