Colorful beer can of "Cause & Effect" Hazy IPA, with a geometric background. A beer glass is beside it. Text: 7.2% ABV, 25 IBU.

If you’re looking for your first Hazy IPA of the new year, our Project X Series is a good place to start. As the first release of the year, this beer sets the tone for what we love most about the program: thoughtful experimentation, expressive hops, and collaborations that bring brewing and art together. It’s our space to explore new ideas and push flavor forward, and Cause & Effect is built exactly with that intention.


When you pour it, you’ll notice the soft haze and full, pillowy body right away. The hop bill — Nelson Sauvin, Strata, Galaxy, and Mosaic — layers bright white grape and gooseberry with passionfruit, peach, pineapple, and citrus. The result is juicy and aromatic, with depth and balance, finishing clean without harsh bitterness. It’s hop-forward and saturated, but still easy to come back to sip after sip.


Abstract digital art with colorful geometric shapes and glitch effects on a light background, creating a vibrant, chaotic mood.

The label continues the story. We partnered with illustrator @fivetimesno, whose fragmented, glitch-inspired design plays with movement and disruption, creating a visual sense of cause and reaction. The artwork reflects the beer itself: layered, dynamic, and intentional — a reminder that small changes in process and ingredients can lead to entirely new outcomes in the glass.


Cause & Effect Hazy IPA is available now on draft and in cans at our Vista, CA and Nampa, ID taprooms, with distribution beginning this weekend. If you want to see where Project X is headed this year, this is the first step. Search near you using our beer finder or stop by for our First Pour event on Sunday and break your dry January fast with us.

It is so hard to find hoodies with this kind of dense, luxury hand-feel Velocity Motorsport Speed Racing Hoodie. This sounds like an amazing addition to a high-end outerwear collection.

Been using Pico Image for a while now for resizing and compressing images. It runs entirely in the browser so nothing gets uploaded to a server, which I find reassuring. Background removal works pretty well too, saves me from opening heavier software for simple tasks.

Really enjoyed reading about the Cause & Effect Hazy IPA and the creative thinking behind the Project X Series. The combination of expressive hops and bold artwork sounds like a great match. It also feels like the kind of release that would pair perfectly with a fun seasonal look, especially a Halloween Leather Jacket. Great read!
