Hazy IPAs available at stores?

Gotta love that 100% markup

 

Disagree. Not even close to the stuff in cans. Too grassy/piney to be proper haze in a bottle. Though it may have been the part of being stored on warm shelves. I broke my rule of no IPA bombers and picked up two bottles. Didn't care for either.

I completely disagree. I was at the brewery about a month ago and Samba Haze is fantastic, super smooth for the ABV. Bossa Haze was also quite good when they got cans out to limited distro, though a bit salty at times. I prefer them over Pure cans from a stylistic standpoint. Not Modern Times or Resident level but still quite good.

Really your best bet is to look for Windy Hills (Mikkeller) and Brouwerij West cans if you don't want to go to the breweries directly (though Brouwerij cans are around the same price as the brewery releases). Plenty of Modern Times haze released directly at the brewery though and easy to buy around release time. They killed it with Luna Park. Or you could always check in with Resident and fill some crowlers once they get that machine going assuming they fill the hazy IPAs.

 

Yeah, I ended up getting some of this Bossa Haze batch from a bottle shop and it's still great. Maybe not quite what the first batch was, but I think it still blows away most of the other options around here, including most of MT's releases lately (not a fan of the recent UD or Luna Park at all).

 

I bought a 4pk of Bossa Haze and it may be my least favorite hazy beer I've had and certainly won't buy it again as for my taste, it is astringent and undercarbed nearly flat.
