284. Black Acre Brewing Company (Indianapolis, IN) - New Rules!

“New Rules is our newest Hazy India Pale Ale, brewed with Mosaic, Calypso, Eukanot, Simcoe, and Lemondrop hops, then fermented with Kviek [sic] yeast!”

This is practically the kissing cousin of Dystopian Game Show, a hazy IPA they brought out for a brief run earlier this summer—except that this one is a little bigger (7.1% vs. 6.4%) and less expensive ($12 for a four-pack of tallboys, as opposed to $16). The flavor is a little lighter, more generally fruity than specifically grapefruity, and the finish is much smoother than Dystopian’s. Both are excellent, and while I have never made an actual list of my favorite breweries and have, at various times, thought of any of half a dozen or so as my favorite, I’m pretty sure that Black Acre would currently be at the top of any list I might make.
