Are those the same beer? That pic in the Wakefield Instagram account looks pretty nice honestly.

The one above it looks like a pour of homebrew that blew the keg.
The top one is from Pioneer in CT. The second pic was to show how far it's spreading.

I'm just hoping that Other Half taught Wakefield how to make good IPAs when they collaborated with him.

Also, myself and a friend of mine have been making northeast style IPAs in Miami for like two years. Wakefield is way behind the curve, except with Floridaweisse, which he totally invented.
 
That Wakefield post strikes me as him trying to capitalize on the trend from the marketing aspect of things more so than going whole hog on the style into borderline parody mode like with Hoof Hearted and those TH/Omnipollo Milkshake IPAs.

These days it feels like "Northeast IPA" is being liberally employed as nothing more than an antonym for "bone-dry, crystal-clear west coast IPA".
 
Really though I'm curious about the new Wakefield IPA, even though my expectations aren't high. I'll probably try to pass by this weekend to see what it's about and I'll let you all know.
 
His flagship IPAs are pretty good and I'm sure he got some pointers for this from the Other Half crew.
 
This hazy IPA craze has officially reached the West Coast. Monkish has released cans of IPAs the past two consecutive Saturdays, and each day there's been a line and sell outs within an hour.

Also important to note that these were the first-ever IPAs they've ever made as a brewery.

EDIT: oh apparently they're selling a new one weekly til the end of April.
