Modern Vespa

So during lockdown I got into craft ales and I found that I really like New England pale ale. They tend to have a hazy/cloudy look and have some citrus type of flavour to them. There are a number of breweries here that produce these but wanted to see if anyone had any good recommendations to look out for?

It sounds like you are describing a New England Style IPA.

They are popular everywhere now.

All of the local craft breweries have them.

Cigar City has several IPAs. Jai Alai and the hazy Fancy Papers are available, maybe even in London. (I have seen Jai Alai served in Switzerland).

You can probably find Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA.

But there must be some British Breweries making the stuff now.

Good luck.

Pah.... Newcastle Brown Ale

The stuff of men.

Best served cool whist sitting on a Norvin or a Triton.

Clown Shoes Cake Haze and related spinoffs are all quite good.
Brewdog Hazy Jane is good as is Rogue's Batsquatch.

NEIPA is a new variant, in a good way.

So far my favourite breweries for the hazy stuff are:

Ohh look forward to that when we can finally get to see our friends in Adelaide

Black and Brown, Guinness and Newcastle.
A new favorite of mine is Bold City 1901 Red Ale(Jacksonville,FL)
While in Wales, I loved having a Brains SA.

if you can get it, and that may be a tall order... harpoon

really anything by them, but the OG IPA is the jam.

go forth and consume the hops my dude!

We threw a party when I retired. Several people left suggestions for my waning days. On read: Drink a craft beer in every state.
Progress is slow, but regular.

Meh. Hazy IPA isn't a New England thing, per se. The best I've had is Pinthouse's Electric Jellyfish:

Electric Jellyfish IPA
ABV: 6.5%

Brewed with some of our favorite new hop varieties from our favorite hop farmers - Citra, Simcoe, Chinook, Ekuanot, Azacca, and Galaxy. Electric Jellyfish is filled with a bright tropical citrus character along with notes of orange, mango, lychee, and a floral backbone. The Jellyfish is a hazy new school IPA focusing on the juicy hop flavor and aroma while keeping the bitterness balanced and refreshing.

Many prefer their Training Bines, which is a bit more hoppy.

Hazy IPA's have become so mainstream, even Sam Adams is offering them. But the great ones are great.

Anything from The Brooklyn Brewery will suffice...

Elvis Juice from Columbus, OH and Boat Show from Yellow Springs are 2 local IPAs I really enjoy.

Ah, finally!

"This is the IPA for 'I don' t like IPAs'

I've been waiting for this IPA thing to go away. Obviously, been waiting in vain.

Motivated by this post, I checked out some local and Swedish variants of New England IPAs. Yep, going to the right direction.

Before these, a bit of oddball among IPAs, Lagunitas IPA from California I did find interesting. I've understood it's kind of a bulk brand (?), but if it tastes good and comes in handy bottles, I don't complain...

Still like trad. English Ales and bitters, even stouts, but those seem to get little attention nowadays.

My go to is Hop Rising which is a double IPA from the Wasatch Brewery here in Salt Lake. It comes in at 9%

One of my favourite beer memories was buying Heady Topper in Burlington. The Alchemist brewery publishes it's bottle store delivery schedule because the worlds number one beer (as rated by Beer Advocate) always sells out immediately. I booked my pre conference accomodation near to where the beer was going to be. Yes, I was flying 14,000km to ambush a beer delivery.

I wander in the recommended hour before the truck arrives, they tell me I don't need to be early so I go and buy some home brew ingredients I can't get in NZ and then eat delicious cake and drink mediocre coffee with some hippies down the road. Back at the shop with about 15 minutes to spare and the line is about 40 people long. They do a head count and a beer count and some math and ration the beer accordingly. I do a deal with the guy beside me because I didn't want to take 24 cans home, so end up with a very cheap dozen beers, most of which made it back to NZ (because you can buy it at every bar and restaurant in Burlington without making an appointment).

It was OK.

I found this last night at a local Kroger grocery. Haven't tried it yet.

Beer rap:

Song in Sardinian dialect with translation:
(as best I could ... sorry for the foul language)

I don't understand why a dickhead comes out every now and then
who takes the piss out of us at all! ahahahahaha and so!
there's no fucking thing to laugh about ... let's have a drink on this thing!
we drink beer, beer, beer, beer
as a child I drank a liter of wine
I would come home and then throw up in the sink
I never stopped getting drunk one day
and I was too pissed off when there was no drink!
Looking at the others they all looked like idiots
And I was wondering if punches flew into their house
The last time my father slept with my mother
She gave him a shot that almost broke it
And my brother asked me how heavy it was (the shit)
But that is all deficient it is difficult even to explain it to him
And now that the wine is finished but the beer is pretty cool
In the house, in the street (smell of shit)

Chorus - we drink beer, beer, beer, beer
as a child I was out of my mind and I was just messing around
I also drank from the neighbor's carboy
and I still have problems socializing today
but if sluts come I give them the fuck to kiss
pours cold beer, he took me to the raga belly
I can't find a way to follow in this place
but I go, I go at full speed
you bought the cd and now you learn it by force
you didn't understand shit because it's all bullshit
it sounds more like an asshole when you send it the vibe
we don't drink coke here… but

Chorus - we drink beer, beer, beer, beer
Now that you're all wet
And you drank another keg of beer
Make me one last effort
And have a becks too
Always the same speech
Find me in the kiosk
To get some fresh air
Always in bad shape
I drink beer around
I drink beer at parties
Bring the parteolla (Sardinian wine) I drink four quarters
I don't want to make you drink if you don't want to drink
If you want to drink from the bottle that I have the balls full
Don't ask me what's inside the barrels
Full of ardor for the juice of the apricots (the pussies)
Oil change, bar change, shit change
I give myself a beer bludgeon
