    Hey guys,

    I have been off IPAs for a year and I'm craving some too notch haze. What do you recommend that is really good and reasonably priced?

    Such a great thread idea OP. I think OIB is killing it with Beezer 4pk $12.99, Rev Hazy Hero 6 pk $12.99. And I would even throw in Bell's Official 6pk $8.99.

    I haven't been to the store since it showed up down here, but Tome from Half Acre has gotten some good reviews. It'll be my next purchase.

    EDIT: And if it's been a full year and you haven't tried it yet, Bodem is worth a spin. Not a hazy. More of a hybrid of new and old. All delicious though.

    Brickstone just made HazD Juice a year round offering. 12.99.

    Rev did the same thing with Hazy hero months ago. 12.99

    Son of Juice is a great 4pk for 12.99

    at 9.99 you have several really quality options. Firestone Walker Mind Haze, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing, Odell Mountain Standard, Deschuetes Fresh Haze.

    The 9.99 ones are great hoppy beers that some focus on body or mouthfeel. Once you get into that 12 to 14 dollar range, you’ll possible find a little more body. Beers like Alarmist Le Jus and Old Irving Beezer fit into that next level as well.

    Penrose and Miskatonic are also making sneaky good haze. Penrose Goofy Boots and Miskatonic Haven are both worth a look as well. Toppling Goliath Pseudo Sue too

    Its not like super thicc haze boi haze but Solemn Oath's End All for $9.99 a six-pack is an incredible value. Nearly non-existent bitterness and tons of soft juicy fruit flavors.

    I had Tome yesterday. It's an excellent, easy drinking pale ale. I would buy again.

    Agreed. And it’s actually a reformulated recipe as of a few months ago. Tasting very good

    Tried the Miskatonic Spire DIPA canned today. I don’t know what Dr. Rudi hops are! I thought it was really nice, and hit the spot in a warm day. Price + 12oz + taste = winner. I picked up the IPA pack from the brewery, which seemed reasonably priced for a good variety.

    check it out!

    If it is best value, it has to be under $10. $12.99 is right near normal prices for haze.
