New Haze Set to Hit Taps at 42 North
42 North Brewing is set to tap a new hazy IPA, Milestone 82 NE IPA (5.5%), on May 18th at 12pm. Brewed to be the haziest beer 42 North has ever made thanks to a blend of Azacca, Denali, Wai-iti, and Motueka hops, Milestone 82 NE IPA is hazy (duh!) and tropical with a soft, juicy finish. It’s very sessionable with a medium body, mild bitterness and a moderately sweet finish. This beer will be available for crowler fills. The East Aurora brewery also just released a new batch of Creekside Session IPA cans with Denali, Moteuka and Pacifica hops.
