    As summertime beers gain more traction and trendy, “northeast-style” IPAs begin to hit store shelves, you might notice more and more beers that look hazy or cloudy. This is in sharp contrast to many beers whose beauty lies in their crystalline appearance. So what makes a beer hazy? More importantly, what’s the point?
