    i was in Austin a few weeks ago and tried Electric Jellyfish. I really liked it and want to try more beers of that style. I recently saw Clown Shoes has a few NEIPAs that make it here. I checked the top beers in the style but didn’t recognize any of the breweries as breweries that distribute in TX.

    Just looking to try more beers in that style.

    If you live around Houston, Spindletap Houston Haze, and occasionally Juiceton, hit local distro. I think they make small deliveries to Austin too.


    Some of the best in TX (Turning Point, Ingenious, Baa Baa, Weathered Souls, Red Horn, Pinthouse and B-52) are usually brewery-only releases.

    I work in San Antonio. I’ll be keeping an eye out for weathered souls releases.

    What city are you located in? NEIPAs are ubiquitous in TX, but good ones are hard to find.

    I haven't had anything from Weathered Souls in a year or two, but they were not very good the last time I was in SA. Your best bet is picking up some canned near-NEIPAs at a bottle shop. The Tupps DDH series is a reasonable option. Otherwise, you'll need to go to Houston/Austin.

    To be clear, it doesn’t need to be a Texas brew. Any good representations of the style from anywhere in the US will work.

    In that case, if San Antonio gets NOLA or Parish, their hazies are worth the price. I haven’t had the Weathered Souls version of Murkaveli, but I did try the Pure Project version of the collab at their taproom and it was excellent.

    Parish is coming to SA in June, I believe. Our market just got Offshoot Relax (It's Just a Hazy IPA). Offshoot is a new side project of the Bruery that will be specializing in IPAs. Haven't tried it yet, but I have it in my fridge.

    Independence just released their East Coast High Boy in San Antonio, and it's probably one of the better TX-brewed hazy (D)IPAs I've had.

    Houston Haze is my favorite. I really don't like Parish hazys

    Update: Tried the Offshoot last night. It's pretty tasty.

    in Bedford (between Dallas & Fort Worth) is Turning Point Brewing Co - primarily all NEIPA styles - usually 6-8 taps all NEIPA's. Also, in Fort Worth, releasing today at Martin House is Bubble Haze, Bubblegum Hazy IPA. In DFW area, check out Central Market and SPEC's for great retail selection.

    Spindletap - any of their NEIPAs especially Diamonds in my Mouth, Ghost in the Machine (not TX but now distributed here), Space Camper Cosmic IPA by Boulevard (not in TX but now distributed). some other great IPAs are DDH IPA Series 8 (Tupps Brewery), 4^2 (Four Squared) (Real Ale), and Citramendous (Great Heights Brewing).
