“It’s happening! It’s happening! And, to be honest, any reasonable observer could guess that it was just a matter of time. The New England Style IPA has spread so much of its unfiltered, hazy, juicy hand over the world of IPAs, it’s no surprise that brewers would start applying the same aesthetic to Pale Ales. As a matter of fact, we have a couple such APAs in our store already. So, how many hazy pales does it take before a quirky outlier becomes a new sub-style? We don’t know, but the Hudson River Valley’s Industrial Arts Brewing Company has decided to nudge us closer with what they call a ‘Northeast Pale Ale’ …”

“Let us be clear about one thing at the start — we are totally down for a snazzy, new, hazy, juicy IPA. However, sometimes you just want to dive into some old-fashioned hoptastic bitterness. So, it’s a good thing that Jackie O’s Pub & Brewery from Athens, OH makes a tasty West Coast Style IPA. (That’s right … Ohio!) …”

“Baltic Porters are strange beer beasties. They were born in Baltic countries when the Porter arrived from England via the relatively new railroad lines of the time. When Baltic brewers started recreating the English style, the resultant beer took a different path …”

“Aslin Beer Company has made quite a name for itself in Northern Virginia. For its first few years it was able to create a following just through direct sales from its Herndon facility and through placement in a few restaurants. However, the brewery that The Washington Post once called “the best brewery you’ve never heard of” is well and truly out of its small mold with tasting rooms in Herndon and Alexandria and with distribution to little old us …”

“Those magical, mad brewers at Stone Brewing Company have been putting out their ‘Enjoy By’ series since 2012 — featuring fresh IPAs with a “drink by” date guaranteeing maximum hop freshness. Each brew has been a lupu-licious offering to the Altar of the Hop, and in all that time they’ve never done a New England Style IPA … until now …”

“So, some years ago craft brewers reflected on the grapefruit flavors that Pacific Northwest hops impart to their favorite IPAs and Double IPAs, and they thought, ‘Huh … why don’t we just add in actual grapefruit?’ The thing is a lot of those hops also impart pine aromas and flavors to their beers. So where were the brewers deciding to brew with actual pine trees? Well, at long last, enter Vienna, VA’s Caboose Brewing Company. For the latest beer in their ‘For Lovers’ series — a series that features beers made from 100% Virginia ingredients — Caboose confidently strides into that gap …”
