I haven't had a Dogfish beer in over 10 years. Always too hoppy for me but maybe my tastebuds have grown.

These cans all say IPA, so given my dislike for hoppiness and regular IPAs, I'd have never chosen them.

They are definitely not IPA tasting and really ****ing good. Look at that haze! Now I am even more confused on what I should be looking for.

That's a gripe of mine as well

That particular brewery only brews hazy IPAs (they might do 1 or 2 traditional IPAs every now and again) so consumers in their market kind of already know but yeah once they get distributed out of market there's no way for people to know

Just say what it is and put a readable date in a visible location on the can :cuss:

Date's on the bottom. Hop Butcher does hazys. Live with it, hippie. :)

Plus Hop Butcher is better 4 weeks out since they release green to free up their tanks haha

Welcome to NEIPAs. They are awesome IMO. For my buck the Hazy Double IPAs are the best. The best IMO around KC is Toppling Goliath's King Sue.

The 120 can be hard to find. I haven't had one in about 4-5 years.

I still seem to go back to one of my 4 favorites when I want an IPA.

Lagunitas IPA
Church Music Hazy IPA
Tower Road IPA
Ballast Point Sculpin IPA

Any must haves in the Des Moines area?

Or go to the Iowa taproom and try a bunch of the local stuff

Damn, they have a TG Lemon Meringue Fandango on tap, that's probably amazing.

Thanks. I saw that the taproom and figured I'd make a couple trips there.

2022 Assassin is on at El Bait Shop in Des Moines

Picked up a six pack of both Fat Tire Ale amd Firestone 805 this morning while grocery shopping.

I like the lighter stuff during a summer afternoon.

*moves to Iowa*



I'm sure I'll get used to the smells after a while.
