Hazy Double IPA

This lush, Riwaka-heavy IPA was a collab that linked the American East Coast with New Zealand’s South Island.

From BreWskey in Montreal, this hazy double IPA leans into lushly fruit-forward Rakau and Riwaka hops, with a varied grist meant to promote haze with the lightest possible color.

From hop selection to dry hops, finishing gravity, and mouthfeel, Other Half cofounder and brewmaster Sam Richardson isolates the key elements of their popular, year-round imperial hazy IPA.

At Grimm Artisanal Ales in Brooklyn, New York, Cloudbusting is always a hazy double IPA made with 100 percent New Zealand hops—however, the hop blend varies from batch to batch. This is a recipe for Cloudbusting #11, but feel free to make your own custom blend.
