5 beers to drink now to celebrate the “haze craze”
New England-style IPAs are all the rage these days. Juicy, hazy, and thick, not exactly what one would expect in an IPA. This craze actually started back in 2004 when the Brewmaster of The Alchemist decided not to filter or pasteurize his new IPA, Heady Topper. This left a hazy product with a thick mouthfeel and intense hop flavor without relative bitterness. It took a long time to catch on, like 10+ years, but now the New England IPA is beginning to get the recognition it deserves.
A Love Letter to Prairie Artisan Ales
Prairie Artisan Ales, located in the heartland, gives me the feels all through my heartland. What started as a labor of love from two brothers in Oklahoma, has blossomed into a trendsetting operation for craft beer.

I wait with bated breathe for the next release, always stalking their movements, like a cat on the prowl for her next meal. And a meal from Prairie never disappoints. So…Prairie Artisan Ales…how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
