Badlands Brewing's August DIPA '26 is a Double IPA built for the height of summer — big, hazy, and hoppy, with the kind of creamy, pillowy body that makes high-ABV beers dangerously easy to drink. Brewed in Caledon, Ontario, this is Badlands at their most ambitious: a DIPA that leans into lush tropical and stone fruit hop character without losing the soft, smooth texture that defines their house style. Expect a haze-forward pour with aromas of mango, peach, and citrus rind, a full and creamy mid-palate, and a long, resinous finish with just enough bitterness to remind you this is a serious beer. At $8.50 a can it's exceptional value for the style — the kind of DIPA that holds its own against anything coming out of the best craft breweries in the country.
