The Unexpected Side Effects of Hazy IPAs: A Craft Beer Conundrum

As a recent enthusiast of hazy IPAs, I’ve discovered an intriguing and, shall we say, aromatic side effect that comes with indulging in these delicious brews. Let me tell you, my Dutch oven game has reached unprecedented levels, resulting in some of the most significant room-clearers I’ve ever encountered.

This raises a few important questions: Is the haze largely responsible for these potent effects due to the unfiltered nature of these beers? Could the different hop varieties contribute to the olfactory challenges following a night of enjoying double IPAs? And, let’s not forget, am I the only one who brings this olfactory phenomenon into social situations, like when flying on a plane after a few too many dips into the double IPAs?

With such interesting considerations in mind, I’ve begun to wonder if other types of beer yield similar results or if it’s solely the hazy variety that brings forth these powerful emissions. I’m keen to dive deeper into this phenomenon and would love to trade experiences with fellow beer aficionados for the sake of scientific discovery.

A shout-out to Bearded Iris Brewing’s “Attention Please” for inspiring this conversation and highlighting the bizarre yet fascinating consequences of enjoying these beloved IPAs. Here’s to exploring the flavor and effects of craft beer—foul winds and all!
