Homebrewing beer. It's no secret that hazy beers are the new hotness in the craft scene, and they are not without their complications. Love 'em or hate 'em, they are here to stay so Jamil and John jump into the hazy beer fad to talk about what makes them taste good rather than just look hazy. To do this, we were treated to 7 different hazy IPAs in studio and examined what makes each one worth drinking. We also speak with Luis Castillo of Del Cielo Brewing to help guide us around this cloudy topic.
