Yeah, I'm familiar with your disdain for hazy IPAs. Fwiw, I fully believe the brewery matters. I haven't had a proper good one outside of the northeast. Many try, and all of them fail. Colorado has a ton of them (WeldWerks, New Image, New Terrain, 4-noses), and they all miss the mark by a large margin.
Whereas the northeast has Treehouse (best in show), Trilium, Alchemist, Fiddlehead, and Grimm, just to name a few, that are all top notch. The worst representation among this group is still better than the best offering of any other brewery I've tried.
I fully realize I sound like those stoners who say "you're just smoking the wrong strain," to anyone who doesn't like weed. But it's especially true with hazy IPAs.
Anyhoo, I get a hangover just thinking about drinking one of those beers these days.
