Seattle-based Elysian Brewing is staying in the lane of craft IPA beer with its latest offering. The brewery just released Phaze Dust IPA, a heavy-hitting hazy. It follows Elysian’s other sibling beers, the Space Dust IPA and Juice Dust Juicy IPA.

It’s yet another IPA with a big personality from the Pacific Northwest brewery. Space Dust started the trend back in 2012 and it has done on to become one of the best-selling IPAs in the nation. Phaze Dust comes in a vibrant can outfitted with a giant cartoon hop on it.

“With each innovation in the Space Dust Series, we strive to create an IPA that is worthy of the Dust name, while being bold enough to stand on its own. Phaze Dust Hazy IPA does just that with its soft mouthfeel and sweet notes of candied peach, mango and tangerine,” says Brittney Hicks, Space Dust brand director.

At 8.2% ABV, this is no light beer. But it is balanced, calling on hop varieties like Amarillo, Chinook, Citra, and more. There are even cryo hops in the mix, a new type you can add to your craft beer terminology. Essentially, these hops are more concentrated, offering added intensity in terms of aroma and flavor.

Elysian Brewing was born in 1995 in the Emerald City. Since, it’s grown significantly and was acquired by AB-InBev in 2015. The label is known for its IPAs but also producers styles like Extra Special Bitters and oatmeal stouts.

The best tequilas for whiskey drinkers
Whiskey fans will love these aged tequilas
Mijenta

Tequila is an interesting spirit. It seems to have two sides. One side is a wild, over-the-top party, and the other is casual and comfortable. The first side is Blanco tequila shots with salt and lime wedges and bright, vibrant, sugary cocktails. The second side is long-aged, nuanced tequilas crafted to be sipped neat. While there’s a time and place for the party side of tequila, today is all about complexity and age. Specifically, today I want to delve into tequilas suited for whiskey drinkers.

After two decades of writing about alcohol, I can let you in on one important secret: alcohol is complicated, and learning everything about each one takes a lot of time (and sampling). When I first started drinking in my early 20s, I thought tequila was merely a spirit for shots or cocktails. I didn’t even realize there was a whole mature side to it. As I got more into bourbon and single malt Scotch whisky, I realized that I was completely missing out on sipping aged tequilas.

The smoothest bourbons for fans new to the whiskey style
Let's take a deep dive into "smooth" bourbons
Buffalo Trace

In some whiskey circles, the word “smooth” is considered to be a bad term to describe bourbon. That’s because it’s thought to be a little too vague and doesn’t really describe the spirit at all. Obviously, its simplicity doesn’t do the whiskey style justice.

But if you ask me, there’s no better, simpler way to describe America’s “native spirit” if you’re a beginner. There are a variety of reasons why bourbon is referred to as “smooth,” and I’m not here to shame drinkers if they want to use the phrase. Especially novice drinkers who are just learning the terminology. That said, if you’re new to whiskey, there are countless smooth, gateway bourbons perfectly crafted to get you started on your corn-based journey.
