Production & Heritage

Founders Brewing Company, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, has been a leading force in American craft beer since its founding in 1997. All Day Haze is built on a grain bill of 2-row barley, red wheat, rolled oats, and Simpson Crystal Light malt — the generous proportion of oats and wheat creates the beer's signature soft, hazy body. Dry-hopped with Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops, this expression represents Founders' entry into the hazy IPA category, applying the same session-friendly philosophy that made All Day IPA one of the best-selling craft beers in America.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright citrus zest leads, followed by a fruit-cocktail medley of orange, pineapple, and peach. Subtle pine and floral notes from the Simcoe hops emerge underneath, with a faint grassiness from the malt base.

Taste: The entry is soft and juicy, with orange and mandarin flavors driven by the Amarillo hops taking center stage. At mid-palate, tropical fruit from the Citra adds depth, while the Simcoe delivers a pine-floral combination that balances the sweetness. The body is deliberately light, with rolled oats and wheat providing a pillowy mouthfeel despite the low ABV.

Finish: All Day Haze finishes notably dry for a hazy IPA, letting hop bitterness linger without becoming heavy. The 50 IBUs register cleanly on the back end, keeping the beer crisp and encouraging another sip.

How to Drink All Day Haze

Pour into a tulip glass or standard pint glass chilled to around 40–45°F to open up the hop aromatics. Drinking straight from the can works well for casual settings, though a pour reveals the beer's glowing, hazy appearance.

• Beer Shandy: Mix half All Day Haze with fresh lemonade — the citrus hop character amplifies the lemon, and the low ABV keeps it crushable in warm weather.
• Hazy Michelada: The tropical fruit notes pair well with lime, hot sauce, and Tajín in a beer-based cocktail where the haze adds body without heaviness.
• Hop Skip (Beer Cocktail): Combine with a splash of grapefruit juice and a dash of simple syrup — the Citra and Amarillo hops complement grapefruit naturally.

Why All Day Haze?

As Founders Brewing Company's first hazy IPA, All Day Haze fills a specific gap: a session-strength New England-style beer that can be consumed over hours without fatigue. The grain bill of 2-row, red wheat, rolled oats, and Crystal Light malt creates genuine haze and a soft mouthfeel — not just a marketing label. The triple-hop combination of Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe delivers layered tropical and citrus aromatics that rival many full-strength hazy IPAs, while the dry finish and 50 IBUs prevent it from becoming cloying. For drinkers who want the hazy IPA experience at a pace they can sustain all afternoon, this 15-pack is built for exactly that purpose.
