What if David Attenborough had hung up his binoculars and picked up a mash paddle? In this episode of The Beer Craft, we track the evolutionary journey of the IPA like a wild species adapting to new environments—from the sharp, bitter clarity of the West Coast to the soft, juicy haze of the East.

We dig into the brewing science behind this transformation: biotransformation, haze formation, dry hopping timing, and why your yeast might just be the unsung hero of your next juicy brew. Along the way, we taste, compare, and narrate the IPA’s migration with all the reverence (and ridiculousness) it deserves.

Whether you’re a bitter old-schooler or a haze chaser, this episode has the field notes you need to evolve your IPA game.
