Cosmic Collaboration Hazy Double IPA is the second of five beers in the Ecliptic Brewing’s 5 Years/5 Beers Cosmic Collaboration Series that celebrates the breweries five years orbiting the sun. Hazy Double IPA is brewed with pale malt, wheat, oats, along with Idaho 7, HBC 692, and El Dorado hops to create an IPA that’s hazy, big and full of juiciness that sits at 8% ABV. “I feel very honored to have Matt and Firestone Walker on board to help us commemorate our anniversary,” said Harris in a statement.
