Production & Heritage

WarPigs Brewing traces its origins to a high-profile collaboration between Indiana's legendary 3 Floyds Brewing and Copenhagen-based gypsy brewer Mikkeller. That transatlantic partnership put the WarPigs name on the map, but the American arm now operates independently under the WarPigs Brewing USA banner out of Munster, Indiana. Foggy Geezer follows the New England IPA blueprint: it is only lightly filtered, leaving a nearly opaque, orange-juice-like body that retains suspended hop proteins and yeast. The 70 IBU bitterness level sits higher than many hazy IPAs on the market, giving Foggy Geezer a structural backbone that balances its considerable tropical fruit character rather than letting sweetness run unchecked.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The pour releases immediate waves of piney resin and tropical fruit. As the glass warms, pineapple, passion fruit, and ripe mango move to the foreground, with faint citrus peel lingering underneath.

Taste: The first sip is juicy and fruit-driven — mango and grapefruit dominate the entry before pine hops and lemon rind develop across the mid-palate. A smooth, creamy body carries the flavors without thinning out, and the 70 IBU bitterness arrives late to add structure and depth. The balance between hop bite and fruit sweetness keeps each sip from feeling one-dimensional.

Finish: Medium-long and semi-bitter, with grapefruit pith and a resinous pine note that dries the palate cleanly. A faint tropical echo — closer to passion fruit than mango — stays behind as the bitterness fades.

How to Drink Foggy Geezer

Pour Foggy Geezer into a tulip glass or wide-mouth pint at around 45°F to let the aromatic oils open up fully; drinking straight from the can buries much of the hop complexity. For cocktail-curious drinkers: a Hazy IPA Michelada works well because the tropical fruit and citrus character stand up to hot sauce and lime; a Beer-garita (equal parts Foggy Geezer and frozen margarita) lets the mango and grapefruit amplify the tequila-lime base; and a Hop Shandy with fresh lemonade tames the 7.3% ABV into a sessionable warm-weather drink while highlighting the lemon rind notes already present in the beer.
