About Sam Adams Hazy IPA

Samuel Adams, also known as Boston Beer Company, was founded in 1984 by Jim Koch in Boston, Massachusetts. Koch, a sixth-generation brewer, aimed to revive traditional beer styles and flavors, leading to the creation of Samuel Adams Boston Lager. His commitment to quality and innovation has played a pivotal role in the brand’s influence within the craft beer movement.

The Non-Alcoholic Hazy IPA, branded as “Just The Haze,” is part of Samuel Adams’ non-alcoholic beer lineup. This beer has been meticulously developed over two years using proprietary brewing techniques to ensure it delivers the full flavor of an IPA without the alcohol content. The brewing process involves a careful removal of alcohol, preserving the rich flavors characteristic of a world-class IPA.

“Just The Haze” is positioned as a flavorful alternative for beer enthusiasts who seek non-alcoholic options. It features bright citrus and juicy hop flavors, and is available year-round in convenient 12oz cans, sold in both 6-packs and single cans.

This innovative brew has garnered several accolades, including the United States Winner at the 2024 World Beer Awards and a Silver Award at the World Beer Cup 2023 in the Non-Alcohol Beer category. Additionally, it won a Gold Award at the Great American Beer Festival 2022 and a Silver Award in the Non & Low Alcohol IPA category at the 2021 World Beer Awards.
