After taking last week off, Brian is back in the saddle for episode 84! He headed over to the New York Beer Project Beer Lodge in Orchard Park for a round of trivia and a burger, and walked away with a familiar favorite: The G.O.A.T. Hazy IPA.
Originally born out of NYBP’s rotating "The One" IPA series (likely batch 60 or 61), this recipe was so good they made it permanent and named it accordingly. Clocking in at 7.2% ABV and brewed with hand-selected New Zealand Nelson Sauvin and Oregon Citra hops, this is an absolute banger of a haze. It's soft, pillowy, and packed with juicy white grape, passion fruit, and bright citrus that lets the hops shine without any lingering bite.
The timing couldn't be better, either. Just as Brian was sitting down with his pint, NYBP took home a bronze medal for The G.O.A.T. in the Juicy or Hazy India Pale Ale category at the prestigious Great American Beer Festival! It's currently draft-only at the taprooms, so make sure you pop into Lockport or the Beer Lodge in Orchard Park to taste award-winning local liquid fresh from the source. Also, don't miss Brian this Friday, October 23rd, down at Buffalo RiverWorks for the Tap & Craft Festival!
