Do you like hazy IPAs? 

Do you hate hazy IPAs?

I dug into this cloudy phenomenon with the help of New Trail Brewing partner and Director of Brewing Operations Mike LaRosa. It seemed to be a subject he had been waiting for someone to ask him about, and we went at it. We also talked about New Trail's amazing growth, their excellent big beers, the Crisp lager family, and the shape of craft brewing in general. I tasted their collaboration with Old Thunder Brewing in Pittsburgh, Mini Storm Cell, a 3.75% cold IPA that blew me away, and Crisp Amber, the next member of the family. 

What else? I visited two local favorites on the way home from New Trail: Henry's Bar-B-Q in LInden, PA, and had some delicious pork shanks; and I picked up half a dozen divine doughnuts at Nan's Donuts in Loganton, the super-hyped Amish bakery that's open two days a week (and kinda lives up to the hype). 

I'll take you inside a whiskey judging competition, and tell you about how my buddy Sam "Mr. Rye Whiskey" Komlenic was honored at West Overton Village. 

Next episode? It's hot stuff! We'll talk about hot sauces, hot peppers, and horseradish, the stuff that keeps central PA sweating...in two weeks!

Until then?
