Production & Heritage

WarPigs Brewing emerged as a collaboration brand merging Danish gypsy brewer Mikkeller's globe-trotting creativity with Three Floyds' famously aggressive, hop-driven approach out of Munster, Indiana. Foggy Geezer leans heavily on a hop bill built around Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe—three varietals prized for their layered tropical and citrus character. The result is a deliberately turbid, unfiltered IPA with a soft, full body that prioritizes fruit-forward juiciness over harsh bitterness, placing it squarely in the New England IPA tradition while retaining enough bite at 70 IBU to remind drinkers this is still a Midwest-bred beer with backbone.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Mango and guava puree dominate the first impression, followed by waves of grapefruit zest, peach, and pineapple. A subtle dank, piney resin sits underneath, adding depth to the otherwise fruit-forward nose.

Taste: The entry is juicy and immediate—ripe mango and tropical fruit coat the palate, supported by a creamy, almost milkshake-like mouthfeel. Mid-palate brings grapefruit pith and a measured hop bitterness that provides structure without turning harsh. The 7.3% ABV is well-hidden; there is no noticeable booziness despite the strength.

Finish: Dry and moderately long, with lingering citrus rind and a faint herbal quality from the Simcoe hops. The bitterness resolves cleanly, leaving behind a pleasant tropical echo that invites the next sip.

How to Drink Foggy Geezer

Pour it cold—ideally around 40–45°F—into a tulip glass or a wide-mouthed IPA glass to let the aromatic hops bloom. Drinking from the can works in a pinch, but you lose a significant amount of the nose. Foggy Geezer also works well in hop-centric beer cocktails: try a Beergarita (blended with lime juice, triple sec, and ice) where the tropical hops amplify the citrus; a Hop Shandy (half Foggy Geezer, half fresh lemonade) for a sessionable warm-weather drink; or a Michelada where the beer's fruit-forward character creates an unexpected but rewarding contrast against tomato, lime, and hot sauce.

• Summer cookouts and outdoor gatherings where a bold, flavorful IPA stands up to grilled food
• Introducing hop-curious drinkers to the hazy IPA style without overwhelming bitterness
• Stocking a home fridge for weeknight drinking when you want something more interesting than a standard pale ale

What foods pair well with Foggy Geezer? Spicy tacos al pastor match well, as the tropical hops mirror the pineapple in the dish. Grilled chicken with mango salsa creates a natural echo with the beer's fruit profile. Sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese stands up to the hop bitterness. Fish and chips benefit from the citrus brightness cutting through the fried batter. Thai green curry works because the beer's creamy body tempers the chili heat.

Why Foggy Geezer?

The collaboration between Three Floyds and Mikkeller is not a marketing gimmick—it fuses one of America's most uncompromising breweries with one of Scandinavia's most inventive. Foggy Geezer's 91-point BeerAdvocate score, drawn from nearly 500 independent ratings, places it in the upper tier of widely distributed hazy IPAs. The Citra-Mosaic-Simcoe hop combination delivers a layered aromatic complexity that many single-hop hazies cannot match, while the 70 IBU backbone prevents the beer from becoming a one-note juice bomb. For drinkers who want a hazy IPA with real structure and a credible brewing story, Foggy Geezer earns its spot.
