Helloooooo Hazy-O! Our latest off-centered innovation is now available coast-to-coast!

Brewed with truckloads of oats and wheat for a full body, Hazy-O! is then liberally dry-hopped to deliver juicy tropical notes of citrus, mango and pineapple! But the real star is our secret ingredient ... oats! This Hazy IPA uses four (yes, four!) types of oats. And you might be thinking, "why so many oats?" Each does something a little different for your sipping experience...

Malted oats contribute a dreamy cloudiness.
Rolled oats create a silky mouthfeel.
Naked oats give a nice toasted and nutty flavor.
And oat milk, oh the oat milk! The pièce de ré·sis·tance of this glorious IPA provides an amplified haze and mouthfeel.

This foundation of four oat formats creates a target, allowing the beer’s bright and juicy hops to hit the flavorful bullseye. Smooth and refreshing, Hazy-O! drinks like a 5% ABV sipper, even thought it's a 7.1% ABV powerhouse!

As the first-ever nationally distributed oat milk-centric IPA, Hazy-O! took almost a year of R&D to perfect. By enlisting the help of oat milk scientists at Elmhurst 1925 (a family-owned, plant-based milk producer out of New York), we were able to ensure we harnessed all the goodness of oat milk using their Unsweetened Milked Oats, made with only three simple ingredients - oats, water and a bit of salt.

Playful and palate-pleasing, you'll find Hazy-O! housed in maroon and gold cans that feature intricate and storyful artwork with hand-drawn hops and wheat, the “hazy-o” sun setting over the water and a four-ringed bullseye to represent the four oat varieties used in the brewing process.

It's been a labor of love to bring this one to life, but one sip and you'll find yourself saying ... "ooohhhh that's good!"

'...the 7-percent-plus ABV beer isn’t just a parlor trick. The IPA actually mixes four different forms of oats—malted, milled, naked, and milked—to achieve its golden-hazed glory.' - Food And Wine

"It may be a game-changer." - Gear Patrol

Hazy gold pour from can from Milton orange juice, grapefruit, oats, mildly acidic. Pretty decent.

12 oz can, 11/26/22. Somewhat heavy yellowish color, white head. Orange and some melon. Not much in the way of exciting flavor here. Not terrible or anything. Just a kind of a boring, mediocre beer.

27 September 2022. At Stagger Lee & Metcalf BBQ, Austin. Shared with the lovely Anke!

Hazy, almost clear (?) golden, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of orange, mango, melon, biscuit. Taste has sweetish mango & melon over a biscuity malt base. Piney hoppy finish with sourish citrus flesh and bitter citrus peel. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Decent beer, not a very good Hazy; I expected more.

12 oz. can. Thanks Ashley! Pours a cloudy gold color with a thick eggshell colored head and great retention. Good lacing. Strong juicy hops aroma. Flavors of bitter grapefruit, pineapple, and hops, with the juices helping cut the edge of the bitterness. Medium-light body. Smooth and clean. Good for the style. The 7.1% ABV is invisible.
