Meticulously delicious. Lusciously hazy.
Those are usually the words we toss around when we’re describing our original Mind Haze Hazy Tropical IPA. But when it comes to having our Brewmaster Matt Brynildson describe the same beer in our Beer Talk series? Well, let’s just say he lets his mind wander a bit.
We guess that happens when you dive into a tempest of electrifying tropical flavor inside each can or glass of Mind Haze. It’s easy to get lost in a state of hazy euphoria, after all. A free-spirited beer made to elevate your perceptions, Mind Haze boasts a captivating interplay of pineapple, guava, and stone fruit notes that will leave your palate in awe.
But don’t take it from just us, click play on the latest episode of Beer Talk below to listen to Matt give the lowdown on it all. After you’re done watching, keep scrolling to get a clear view of all the details on all things Mind Haze and Beer Talk.
Where do we even begin? Well… it all started five years ago when we let our minds wander right into the thick of an emergent craft phenomenon: Hazy IPAs.
But first, a quick history lesson. When the Hazy IPA movement first caught fire on the East Coast, all of our IPAs were still firmly rooted on the West Coast. And even as hazies became a national juggernaut, Matt and his team remained patient. When they finally decided to take a shot at it, they tinkered with the style, retooling and refining their beer with several R&D batches until they nailed what they were after.
Fast-forward a few years and Mind Haze finally made its way out of our brewery doors. And now, our bestselling Mind Haze Hazy Tropical IPA is rolling into 2024 with an energized new look. We’re calling it our “see it from space” era, simply because we think our design work should match the caliber of the liquid gold in each can.
In a way, Mind Haze is sort of a playground for us. It’s a tapestry for us to add experimental hops, adjuncts, and so much more. The only guideline we like to keep in place is that it always has to stay delicious and smooth. And once that’s in place, we can let our minds wander.
