After New England brewers changed the world of IPA, other brewers took note of the style, based on its popularity the new flavors the style provided. But as all inventive brewers do, they didn’t merely mimic the hazy IPAs coming from New England.  Instead, they further re-interpreted IPA, trying new hops, new yeast strains and even adding some bitterness back to the beer to satisfy their local palates. Other brewers have pushed the style to be bigger with double, triple and even quintuple hazy IPAs.

And while these brewers have advanced hazy IPA to new frontiers, the innovation isn’t over. The future of hazy IPA is clear: There will continue to be new flavors, new ingredients, new brewing techniques and new interpretations of the most popular new beer style to emerge in decades.
