Brew Talks Boston 2023: What’s Next for New England IPAs

Brew Talks Boston 2023

Before hazy IPAs became a national phenomenon, the style originated in New England.

The style has matured and now accounts for 9% of craft beer sold in off-premise retailers, according to NIQ off-premise data shared by Bump Williams Consulting.

What’s next for hazy IPA? How are New England craft breweries approaching the style? And how has it matured in the market it originated?

Leaders of four breweries will share their thoughts during Brewbound’s Brew Talks meet-up in Boston Wednesday, July 12. The event will take place from 3-6 p.m. ET at the Samuel Adams brewery in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood (30 Germania St., Boston, MA 02130).

  • Kimberly Golinski, Wormtown Brewery president and GM.
  • Megan Parisi, head brewer of the Samuel Adams downtown Boston taproom;
