There are one or two there that I haven't tried, other than that... not really. I may see what some of those brands offer (I prefer dark with a strong flavor, and the further I get from an IPA the happier I am.)
This is the way.

Anheuser Busch destroyed Goose Island for me when they bought them. Wicked Weed fared a little better, though they're not as good as their pre-takeover days. They can keep the rest of their domestic horse piss.

Goose Island still has some good stuff, but their regular rotation is pretty meh. Their bourbon barrel beers are still excellent, albeit expensive and not really an every day drinker for anyone other than Jeff V (they're about 13% ABV). Their Christmas IPA is also quite good and I like the recently released No Plans Tasty Time Pale Ale. We get a few extra releases in the Chicago area that are brewed and available only locally that can sometimes be good. Looking at their site, I think Matilda and Sofie (listed as year round) are also pretty dang good, albeit with the caveat that you have to like Belgians. The regular IPA isn't much to write home about and 312 has always been trash.

Protesters in France stormed the Paris stock exchange a few hours ago. It seems like they only made it into the lobby but the situation in France is deteriorating.
A right-wing influencer appears to be having trouble finding a brewery willing to craft his anti-woke beer. The brew was launched in response to Bud Light offering a commemorative can to a transgender influencer.
...
Weathers seems to have hit a snag finding a brewery. The company he was so convinced would sell his anti-woke beer that he put its name on his website reportedly backed out after it saw how he was marketing it.
Mike Zoller, beer editor of PorchDrinking.com, first reported that Weathers attempted to tap Illinois-based Bent River Brewing Company to brew his anti-woke beer. Zoller also said that Bent River Brewing told him that Weathers used its name without permission.

What a shocker it was all a reactionary grift with no existing product to back it up. Sounds about par for a MAGAT.
And yet they are CLEARLY labelled as hazy IPA. You puritanical losers fight against the reality of that all you want. I will continue to somewhat enjoy hazy IPAs while hating on all other IPAs. And, to make matters even MORE frustrating for you, I'll tell people i"m enjoying an IPA when drinking a hazy IPA. Hell, I'm calling a print shop right now to get t-shirts made.
VIVA LA HAZY!
And to bring this back on topic: I've heard that Ron DeSantis hates it when people call them IPAs.

I think y'all are a bunch of diluted hop-water drinking little wimps. I like IPAs, and I like them to taste like I'm chewing on a pine tree.
I like resiny beers (although I've only had a couple, and can't find any anymore.)
In other words, I prefer chewing on a pine tree to drinking an IPA.
I get banned for distributing t-shirts that read "Hazy IPAs ARE IPAs! ISSIE AND LAWBOY ARE LOSERS", but YK calls everyone little wimps and nothing happens!?!
I"M GOING TO THE META FORUM FOR AN AIRING OF GRIEVANCES!

To be fair, YK doesn't get banned because he's correct.
(Plus, I like him better than I like you.)
And how are you still posting when I clearly banned you?

Why not both? I buy both New England and West Coast IPAs on the full spectrum from fruity to bitter.

We're of the same mindset. I was just poking fun at the non-IPA crowd, but in actuality my beer tastes are really broad. I don't think I've met any IPA I didn't enjoy on some level.
I don't know what you call a beer snob who likes everything, but I'm that.
[Ultra Right Beer], assuming it ever actually gets made, will be produced at a Lawrenceville, Georgia company called Big Kettle Brewing.
Haven’t heard of Big Kettle Brewing? Don’t worry, neither has anyone else. Perhaps wisely, Weathers chose a company to produce his beer that essentially functions as a freelance contract brewery, without much public face or web presence of its own. Big Kettle Brewing doesn’t even seem to have its own social media pages, though it is apparently the source of a house brand called Ironshield Brewing, which could conceivably see some social media blowback once this news trickles out. Still, given the lack of engagement on Weathers’ posts announcing the brewing partner, one has to wonder whether the interest in Ultra Right Beer has already come and gone anyway.
...
It was bizarrely described as an “airy special golden ale blend” in the previous version of the website, but is now apparently a lager.
...
And then there’s the thorny legal side of the issue, as many beer writers who know the distribution and licensing issues of the industry far better than me have asserted that Ultra Right Beer would immediately run into numerous, impassable laws concerning sales and shipping of beer across state lines as soon as the company started trying to do so.
Ultra Right Beer will be full of piss and vile but no substance or taste.
