Karl Strauss Brewing Co. recently announced the long anticipated return of Boat Shoes Hazy IPA. Beginning this month, this fan favorite will join Karl\u2019s core lineup and become the newest year-round offering for the brewery.
\nBoat Shoes was originally born out of Karl Strauss\u2019 small batch program. Head brewer Sean Albrecht (the talent behind Mosaic Session IPA as well) first tried his hand at this New England-style IPA at Karl\u2019s satellite brewery in 4S Ranch. The initial batch built an immediate cult following and sold out within days. Since then, it has been released several times with much fanfare \u2013 including some of the company\u2019s highest engaged posts on Instagram, and more than 1,500 ratings on Untappd so far. Beyond that, Boat Shoes Hazy IPA nearly won a nationwide blind taste test when it received the Bronze Medal in Brewing News\u2019 National IPA Championship. As for the name itself:
\n“I was back east for [Craft Brewers Conference]. Everyone was wearing boat shoes and the name just stuck. Hazy IPAs are refreshing and easy-drinking, so the name fits nicely with the style of beer. You can\u2019t really be stressed out wearing Boat Shoes,” Albrecht said.
\nBoat Shoes Hazy IPA will be pouring on draft at Karl Strauss\u2019 tasting room in Pacific Beach and brewpubs, as well as select craft beer bars throughout California. Boat Shoes will also be available throughout the year in limited release quantities of 4-pack 16-ounce cans.

\nBoat shoes are much more than footwear \u2013 they\u2019re a state of mind. They say to those around you, “Hey. I\u2019m practical, but I\u2019m also stylish. I may or may not actually own a boat. But I definitely care about the finer things in life, like weekend jaunts to the coast, salty ocean breezes, and hazy India Pale Ales.” Boat Shoes Hazy IPA has flavors of citrus and sweet fruit that linger through a juicy finish. This unfiltered brew is intensely hopped and pairs perfectly with your nautical lifestyle, actual boat not required.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
