BEST HAZY beer from your STATE?

Haven't gotten the pleasure of trying Juice is Loose yet, but I did enjoy Obligatory. Some other really good ones from Michigan:

This Guy by Witch's Hat
M-42 by Old Nation
You Can Get With That... JUICE by Ellison (although I've heard the first batch was much better, I thought the most recent batch was pretty tasty)

 

Tough call - all great brews but if I had to pick one I'd go with Peak of Ripeness.

 

At Tombstone, all our hoppy beers are hazy. Pueblo Vida in Tucson is also brewing hazy IPA's

 

Creature Comforts Duende and Crescendo (both were one-offs, brewery only, had on tap and cans you could take home from brewery, no distribution, their pics are on my phone). Hopefully both of these will reappear when Creature finishes their new building.

 

Burial Surf Wax or Burial Gang of Blades. Best I've had.

 

Cellarmaker Mt. Nelson

 

I'd also mention River Horse Hippos Hand.

 

Double Citra

 

Beer Lab HI Nimbus

 

No one yet. Which leaves me with this question. How many of these hazy/unfiltered beers have won awards or been in competitions? I was contemplating asking in the other unfiltered haze thread, but thought I'd ask here. Does it even matter?

NM seems to have a different take on the haze. Bosque has a beer called Scale Tipper that has all the same aromas of the NE IPAs, but hits you with more of a traditional co2 bite, and higher end bitterness. A best of both worlds scenario. It has won back to back Brewing News IPA challenges.

La Cumbre's most popular, Elevated IPA, and Project Dank ( a BN ipa challenge win three years back), both seem to take on the IBUs and aromas in the same light as Bosque. One has tropical flavors from time to time and some pine can creep in. If anything, the closest I have personally seen is something in line with Born Yesterdays appearance. If ever for a slight haze, I honestly don't feel I am missing out entirely.
Most comparably, I would saw Lawson's SOS and Fathead's Head Hunter are what a lot of NM IPAs can be compared to.

We're certainly lacking the NE haze, but I don't think people care here. Plenty of regular options available. That's NM for ya

 

i've been enjoying that myself, Hippos Hand and Hippotizing IPA are actually really good
