Americans can't get enough of oat milk -- sales of the dairy alternative exploded by more than 300%, according to industry trackers. It's in our coffee, our cereal and now our beer, too. Dogfish Head, the Delaware-based brewer owned by Boston Beer Company, just released Hazy-O!, a hazy IPA made, you guessed it, with oat milk.

It pays homage to the diverse neighborhoods of New Orleans, many of which were called faubourgs through the city's history.
