The beer
Strange Hoppenings East Coast IPA (BPSH001) is the flagship New England-style hazy IPA from Beaglepuss, the Providence, Rhode Island nonalcoholic craft beer company founded by Jarad Rogers, head brewer Kevin Barnes, and Patrick Ramey. Packaged in 16 fl oz cans with psychedelic hop-headed artwork, it is one of the brewery’s inaugural releases alongside Inverse West Coast IPA.
According to Beaglepuss’s product notes, Strange Hoppenings pairs a fruit-forward yeast strain with a four-hop bill of Idaho 7, Sultana, Mosaic, and Rakau. In Rhode Island Monthly, head brewer Kevin Barnes explained that Beaglepuss brews its beers through limited fermentation—restricting alcohol generation during fermentation to below 0.5% ABV—rather than stripping alcohol from a finished full-strength beer. Because the producer’s storefront page prints only “Non-alcoholic” without a numeric ABV ceiling or full back-label ingredient list, verified remains no pending physical can inspection.
One single 16 fl oz can was purchased from NA Beer Market at $5.49 for cellar evaluation. Until that can is poured and assessed firsthand by The Dry Standard, this entry remains an unscored research profile with no sensory notes.

Research notes
The producer product page identifies Strange Hoppenings (SKU BPSH001) as a non-alcoholic East IPA (also described in the copy as an NA Hazy IPA) fermented with a fruit-forward yeast strain and hopped with Idaho 7, Sultana, Mosaic, and Rakau, sold in a 4-pack of 16 oz cans for $17.99. The producer page states "Non-alcoholic" without a numeric ABV or full ingredient panel. In Rhode Island Monthly, Beaglepuss head brewer Kevin Barnes stated that Beaglepuss uses limited fermentation to restrict alcohol formation during fermentation to less than 0.5% ABV rather than dealcoholizing full-strength beer; because that statement is brand-wide press reporting rather than a Strange Hoppenings label or technical sheet, verified remains no. Producer and retailer flavor descriptions (apricot, pineapple, peach, melon, pine) are not a Dry Standard tasting.
