April is ON and American craft brewers are welcoming the warmer weather with a fun roster of new IPAs that you’re gonna want to have around as things warm up.
Nebraska Vista (Lincoln, NE) – We never tire of Hazy IPAs and Empyrean Brewing has a new one that we can’t wait to get are hands on. Crafted with Mosaic, Citra, and locally sourced Nebraska Vista hops, Empyrean Golden Cypher Hazy IPA is a 6% ABV India Pale Ale packed with big apricot and citrus notes that give way to a subtle bitterness at its finish.
“We’ve spent the past five years experimenting with 12 different hazy recipes,” said Jim Engelbart, Operations Manager. “Golden Cypher brings together our favorite combo of yeast and hop varieties, including Vista hops grown in Fort Calhoun Nebraska, to create a beer that’s bursting with juicy flavor while staying balanced and drinkable.”
Should Only Take 30 Minutes (Milton, DE) – Dogfish Head Craft Brewery has a tasty new addition to its Minute Series, a collection of continually hopped IPAs known for their hoppy but not crushingly bitter flavor profiles.

Continually hopped for (you guessed it) 30 minutes, Dogfish Head 30 Minute Light IPA is a 4% ABV refresher, a crisp and crushable beer with all the body and character of a world class IPA, but only 95 calories and 3.6g carbs.
“I came up with the process of continual hopping back in 2001, after seeing a chef on TV continually peppering his soup,” said Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer, Sam Calagione. “The chef said adding pepper to his soup in small increments throughout its simmering would add depth and balance to his dish. Then it hit me – if it works for soup, why not beer?
Now, our original continual hopping invention sits in the permanent collections at the Smithsonian Museum. By continually hopping 30 Minute Light IPA, we cracked the code on an approachable, lighter IPA option that doesn’t sacrifice on taste or quality.”
