Distillery Information

Hazy IPA is an offshoot of the modern American-style IPA and according to the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP), a Hazy IPA is “an American IPA with intense fruit flavors and aromas, a soft body, smooth mouthfeel, and often opaque with substantial haze.IPAs tend to have more of these hop flavour profiles, whereas pale ales lean more on their malts for flavour. Because of this extra hoppiness, IPAs beers are usually more bitter. IPAs are also heavier on the alcohol – you can usually find IPAs between 5-7.5% while pale ales are usually somewhere between 4.5-6.2%.
West Coast IPAs deliver a powerful hop punch with pronounced bitterness. Expect to encounter flavors like pine, resin, grapefruit, and a touch of malt sweetness. The aroma is often described as dank, citrusy, and floral. On the other hand, Hazy IPAs are a sensory explosion of juicy, fruity, and tropical flavors.
The main difference you'll notice between lagers and IPAs is the difference in taste, which is a result of the brewing methods and the hops content. IPAs are highly hopped and have a higher IBU (international bitterness unit) than lagers.
Indian Pale Ale (IPA) and other malted barley-rich beers are the best sources of silicon. Silicon does not only help in the bone buildup but also helps in maintaining the health of your bones. Another mineral found in beer is orthosilicic acid. This mineral makes it easier for the body to metabolize.
