Garage Project Hapi Daze
Hapi Daze is the friend who shows up early and keeps things light. It's crisp without being thin—there's a delicate grain sweetness that doesn't overstay its welcome, and a whisper of noble hop spice that suggests sophistication without demanding attention. Drinks like a Helles should: nearly invisible, dangerously easy to repeat. Perfect when you're not sure how many you're having.
Maisel & Friends Hoppy Hell
Hoppy Hell flexes just slightly more muscle. The extra half percent of ABV isn't huge, but it rounds out the malt foundation—you get a touch more honey-like warmth underneath, and the 18 IBUs feel sharper against that fuller body. It's still a Helles lager, still crushable, but it's got presence. Feels like the beer *knows* what it is.
