When bridging the gap between summer and fall beers, we’re looking for something that has the light, fruity, piney flavors we love about summer beers and the complexity and balance of autumnal beers. That’s why we love hazy IPAs. The juicy, hazy, tropical fruit flavor makes us realize that summer isn’t over while still preparing our palates for the more complex beers that cold weather brings.

For those new to the style, the hazy IPA (also known as the New England-style IPA) hasn’t been around forever. In fact, it’s as contemporary as beer styles come. It’s only been around for two decades and has only exploded in the last ten years. The first hazy IPA was crafted by John Kimmich the famed brewmaster at Vermont’s The Alchemist Brewery. It’s called Heady Topper and is still one of the most popular New England-style IPAs.

Even if you don’t live somewhere that gets full-blown seasons with leaves falling and such, you likely feel a little difference (especially at night) when autumn rolls around. These ten hazy IPAs are perfect for the fall days and nights ahead. Keep scrolling to see them all. As a bonus, we ranked them all on overall quality and seasonal appropriateness.

10. Firestone Walker Mind Haze

ABV: 6.2%

Average Price: $11 for a six-pack

The Beer:

With a name like Mind Haze, you’re not left wondering what kind of beer this is. Brewed with 2-row base malt, wheat, Munich malt, torrified wheat, blonde RoastOat, and oats, it gets its over-the-top hop aroma and flavor from the liberal use of Mandarina, Cascade, Azacca, El Dorado, Mosaic, Chinook, Cashmere, Callista, and Idaho 7 hops.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: The nose is a welcoming blend of tangerine, lemon peel, ripe berries, grapefruit, and dank pine.

Palate: The palate is a mix of candied orange peels, lemongrass, honeydew melon, ripe peaches, grapefruit, and just a hint of resinous, sticky pine needles.

Finish: The finish is dry, sweet, and has just a hint of citrus and pine to make you want to crack open another one.

Bottom Line:

The best thing about Firestone Walker (besides the juicy, hazy, well-balanced flavor) is the fact that you can find this banger almost anywhere beer is sold.

9. Sloop Juice Bomb

ABV: 6.5%

Average Price: $13 for a six-pack

The Beer:

The makers of Sloop Juice Bomb want you to know that this isn’t a New England-style IPA. This well-balanced, juicy, hazy beer made with a healthy malt backbone as well as flaked oats, flaked wheat, and a smattering of aromatic, flavorful hops is a “Northeastern IPA”.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: There’s a lot of citrus on this beer’s nose with tangerine, grapefruit, and lemon zest taking center stage. There’s also mango, guava, pineapple, and dank pine.

Palate: A decent caramel, bready malt backbone makes way for a mixture of mango, tangerine, caramelized pineapple, grapefruit, orange juice, and resinous pine needles.

Finish: It all ends with a crisp, sweet, tropical fruit-laden finish with very little hop bitterness.

Bottom Line:

This beer lives up to its name. It’s a hazy, sweet, tropical fruit-filled juice bomb you’ll go back to again and again.

8. Fair State Party Forward

ABV: 6%

Average Price: $11 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

Fair State Party Forward is the type of beer you’ll want to bring to a…well, a party. This surprisingly crushable, 6% ABV hazy IPA is brewed simply with wheat, oats, and Citra hops. The result is a soft, tropical fruit-filled IPA that will make you want to get your party on.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Breathing in the nose, you’ll be greeted with aromas of pineapple, peaches, tangerine, grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, and dank pine needles.

Palate: The palate begins with a backbone of bready malts and weaves into tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, and herbal, earthy, piney hops.

Finish: The finish is dry, sweet, and lightly spicy. It leaves you craving more.

Bottom Line:

As hazy IPAs go, this is an interesting take on the style. It’s drier and spicier than some of the others on the market, but still fruity, juicy, and memorable.

7. Weldwerks Juicy Bits

ABV: 6.7%

Average Price: $18 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

Colorado’s Weldwerks is well-known for its adventurous beers, especially its popular Juicy Bits hazy IPA. The brewery’s flagship IPA is brewed with high-protein malts as well as Mosaic, Citra, and El Dorado hops. It’s known for its soft, tropical fruit, and citrus-driven flavor profile.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: A bold nose of mango, pineapple, cantaloupe, tangerine, lemongrass, and herbal, spicy hops makes for a very inviting start to this beer.

Palate: Sipping it reveals a soft, juicy beer with a ton of freshly squeezed orange juice, ripe pineapple, peach, honeydew melon, and spicy, dank, resinous pine.

Finish: The finish is filled with tropical fruit sweetness that’s tempered with gentle, piney hop bitterness.

Bottom Line:

This is a very well-balanced hazy IPA. It has all the fruity, sweet characteristics of the style, but has enough spicy, piney, hop bitterness to not be overwhelming.

6. Threes Logical Conclusion

ABV: 7%

Average Price: $18 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

If you’ve never tried Threes Brewing Logical Conclusion, what are you waiting for? The brewery’s flagship IPA is brewed with 2-row malts, American malted wheat, and American wheat flakes. It’s hopped with Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe hops.

Nose: On the nose, you’ll find notes of sweet wheat, ripe peaches, tangerine peel, caramelized pineapple, grapefruit, and dank pine.

Palate: Drinking it brings forth notes of candied orange peels, ripe peaches, pineapple, tangerine, and herbal, resinous, spicy pine needles.

Finish: The finish is dry, memorable, and filled with citrus peels and dank pine.

Bottom Line:

The heavy dose of wheat and mix of hops give this beer a soft, pillowy, juicy mouthfeel, and well-balanced aromas and hop flavors.

5. Solace Partly Cloudy

ABV: 7.5%

Average Price: $13 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

Solace Brewing considers Partly Cloudy to be its juiciest IPA to date. And that sounds great to us. This double dry-hopped New England-style IPA gets its complex aromas and flavor profile from the use of El Dorado and Citra hops.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Complex aromas of bready malts, ripe pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit, mango, and resinous pine greet you before your first sip.

Palate: There’s more of the same on the palate in the best way possible. It’s sublimely juicy and hazy, There are notes of grapefruit, caramelized pineapple, bubblegum, tangerine, guava, and spicy, prickly pine.

Finish: The finish a sweet, dry, and surprisingly well-balanced.

Bottom Line:

If you’re looking for an epic juicy IPA that still manages to be balanced between sweetness and hop bitterness, this is the beer for you.

4. The Alchemist Heady Topper

ABV: 8%

Average Price: $18 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

As we mentioned earlier, The Alchemist Heady Topper is the OG hazy IPA. Today, it’s still one of the most popular, thanks to its balanced profile featuring British malts as well as Simcoe, Apollo, Centennial, Columbus, and Amarillo hops.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: A lot is going on with this beer’s nose. There are aromas of zesty grapefruit, apricot, guava, mango, lime peels, wet grass, and spicy pine needles.

Palate: On the palate, you’ll find notes of orchard fruits, lemon zest, peaches, pineapple, passion fruit, tangerine, and prickly piney hops.

Finish: The finish is a nice mix of citrus sweetness and sticky, prickly pine needles. It’s a very memorable finish.

Bottom Line:

This is the first New England-style IPA ever created. If you’re trying hazy IPAs, you have to start with this one.

3. Treehouse Julius

ABV: 6.8%

Average Price: $16 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

Look at any list of highly-rated hazy IPAs and you’ll see a handful of Treehouse IPAs. If you’re going to try one, we suggest starting with its award-winning Treehouse Julius. This 6.8% ABV hazy IPA is well-known for its fresh-squeezed juice-like flavors including pineapple, orange, and mango.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: This beer’s nose is exactly like you hope it would be. There’s a ton of mango, pineapple, peach, guava, tangerine, and lime. It’s zesty, and fruity, and draws you in.

Palate: This pillowy soft, juicy beer is filled with flavors like fresh squeezed orange juice, mango, caramelized pineapple, peach, and just a hint of prickly pine.

Finish: The last few sips are sweet, juicy, hoppy, with little bitterness. Overall, a very balanced beer.

Bottom Line:

There’s a reason Treehouse Julius is regarded as one of the best hazy IPA gateway beers. It’s juicy, sweet, hoppy, and perfectly balanced.

2. Toppling Goliath King Sue

ABV: 7.8%

Average Price: $19 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

Adorned by a roaring dinosaur, this iconic brew is a double IPA that gets its hop aroma and flavor exclusively from the use of Citra hops. The result is an award-winning citrus-forward, juicy, complex IPA that you’ll go back to again and again.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Fragrant aromas of tangerine, lemon peel, fresh squeezed orange juice, mango, guava, passionfruit, and pine are prevalent on this beer’s nose.

Palate: Gritty texture, low carbonation, late chew as it leaves an oily coating behind despite drinking like water. Bready malts make way for grapefruit, fresh-squeezed orange juice, tangerine, mango, peach, guava, apricot, and dank pine.

Finish: The finish is citrus-filled, and sweet, and ends with a lightly bitter, stinging kick of piney hops.

Bottom Line:

Sweet, juicy, fruity, with a slightly prickly, piney finish, there’s a reason this well-balanced hazy IPA is one of the highest rated of all time.

1. Bissell Brothers The Substance

ABV: 6.6%

Average Price: $18 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

The Substance is Bissell Brother’s flagship IPA. It’s brewed with Crystal malt as well as Maine-grown 2-row malt, oats, and wheat. It’s loaded with hop aroma and flavor including Apollo, Centennial, Chinook, Falconer’s Flight, and Simcoe hops.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Elegant aromas of wet grass, pineapple, candied orange peel, mango, peach, and dank pine make for an inviting nose.

Palate: The palate is a symphony of tangerine, caramelized pineapple, lemongrass, mango, honeydew melon, guava, and lightly sticky, dank pine.

Finish: The finish is filled with fresh citrus juice, and sticky, dank, lightly bitter pine needles.

Bottom Line:

If you only try one hazy IPA, make it Bissell Brother’s The Substance. It might not have the same acclaim that some of the other hazies on this list have, but it absolutely should.

With live television, you never know what’s going to happen, but this year’s Emmy Awards were relatively tame compared to other infamous award show moments that don’t need to be mentioned. But there was one moment where the collective gasp of the audience caused the Emmy producers to re-evaluate the method when it comes to cutting winners off.

John Oliver accepted the Emmy for Scripted Variety Series, and his heartwarming speech included a nod to his pup. “We had the most fantastic dog. She was at my wedding. She got us through a pandemic. She was with us through two pregnancies,” Oliver began, before the swelling music started to overpower him, and we learned what happened to the dog. “Perfect choice of music! We had to say goodbye to her,” he said, much to the audience’s surprise. “I feel like Sarah McLachlan right now — she was an amazing dog,” he joked.

Executive producer Jesse Collins did not know how to handle the situation, “I was like, ‘Oh, take the music down!’ You’re just trying to make a call. And then John Oliver’s dog pops up!” He told Variety.

Collins has since offered an apology to Oliver and his deceased pup. “I apologize to John and his family for playing the music — and the dog,” Collins told TheWrap. “We turned it off at his request and turned it back on when he said he wanted to be played off.” They were able to censor his F-bomb, though.

We can assume that the pup in question is Hoagie, Oliver’s golden lab mix that he had for over a decade. Now, she’s enjoying hoagies in dog heaven, where she will remain interrupted for eternity.

The Carolina Panthers are making a major change under center. After Bryce Young had his latest poor performance during the team’s 26-3 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, Panthers coach Dave Canales announced that the team would bench the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and put veteran journeyman Andy Dalton under center going forward.

“I watched the film, I had a thought in mind, we all talked and I had to make the decision that was best for the team,” Canales said, per David Newton of ESPN. “I certainly take it personal. This is about building a culture, this is about building a football team that plays to a certain style, and that’s my main focus. And above all, it’s to help the Panthers to win. So that’s what the decision was about.”

The decision apparently came out of left field, as multiple reports indicate that Young was “very shocked” by his move to the bench. The 2021 Heisman Trophy winner out of the University of Alabama, Young has had about as bad of a start to life in the NFL as you could imagine, as he had a brutal rookie season and hasn’t shown signs of taking a step forward during his second year in the league — if anything, the concerns about his lack of size and arm strength that followed him into the league seem to be even bigger problems during his sophomore campaign.

So far in his career, the Panthers are 2-16 when Young starts a game, while he’s completed 59.3 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns to 13 interceptions — he has not thrown for a touchdown this year, although he has found the end zone once on the ground. Carolina made it a point to acquire Young in the 2023 NFL Draft, as they made a major move from No. 9 to No. 1 to select him over Houston Texans signal caller CJ Stroud. The team gave up standout wide receiver D.J. Moore and a bevy of draft capital, with the Bears using the No. 1 overall pick in 2024 to select another former Heisman winner, Caleb Williams out of USC.

Comedian, writer, actor, and Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd had a hell of fine Emmys night. After the Netflix series won two Creative Arts Emmys, the series picked up awards for Best Limited Or Anthology Series as well as the corresponding categories for Best Supporting Actress (Jessica Gunning), Best Lead Actor (Gadd), and Best Writing (Gadd). The series also scored acting nominations for Nava Mau and Tom Goodman-Hill. Overall, it’s clear that the TV Academy loves what’s happening in Gadd’s head (as disturbing as Episode 4 was to witness), and the Netflix audience was already ahead of them.

Baby Reindeer briefly ascended to the list of Top 10 English Language series (before Bridgerton‘s third season shook up the whole chart), and viewers would not be opposed to hearing good news about a second season. So, is there a chance? Nope. Gadd spoke with Indiewire after the awards ceremony and declared that this will remain a limited series because he believes that the ending can’t be beat:

“No, I don’t think so. I was I’m proud of that ending. I fought real hard for that ending. I really wanted ‘Baby Reindeer’ to end in the way that it did. I really fought for that and I think it couldn’t have ended better. There’s a full circularity to season one which I love. And so I think some things are best left. And I think there’s so much love for it. I just think leaving it there on the platform as a kind of artistic gem for people to enjoy, for people to discover, I think that’s absolutely fine by me.”

Creatively speaking, Gadd has moved onto his next project, HBO and BBC Scotland’s Lions, which he created and wrote but will star other actors. As he declared during one of his Emmy speeches, “Follow your heart, and the rest will fall into place,” and apparently, his heart told him, “No more Baby Reindeer.” So there.

Not that you would ever need a good excuse to see a horror movie, but it’s almost time. October is, historically, the best time of year to brace that Fall chill and head to a pitch black room with a couple dozen other strangers and get spooked so bad you don’t even regret spending $31 on a novelty beverage. And while there are some new horror movies coming out, some recent classics are also getting another go.

A24’s Eerie Series will bring its creepiest films back to Regal Cinemas next month for a limited engagement. Each week, a new A24 horror film will screen, and tickets for each film will be $8.

The series begins on October 1st with Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Killing Of A Sacred Deer. The chilling 2017 movie stars Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman as a couple who form a strange bond with a troubled teen played Barry Keoghan, who begins to affect the family in disturbing ways. He’s good at that archetype!

Then, on October 8th, the 2017 film A Ghost Story starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara will return to theaters, followed by 2017’s It Comes At Night starring Joel Edgerton on October 15th. Then, on October 22nd, Nic Cage’s 2023 surreal comedy/drama Dream Scenario will hit screens. It’s not really horror, but it will give you nightmares in its own way.

The series will wrap up on October 29th with fan-favorite Hereditary starring Toni Collete and directed by Ari Aster. The 2018 film follows Collete as Annie, a grieving mother who struggles to keep her family together in the wake of tragedy. They have not announced a decapitated head popcorn bucket, but they might be able to make it in time if we ask now!

Tickets are available now on the Regal Cinemas website.

Doechii has been part of the Top Dawg Entertainment team for years, and now she has finally dropped Alligator Bites Never Heal, her first album for the label. She released the project in August, and today (September 16), she announced that she’s getting ready to tour in support of it, too.

The Odd Future collective is taking over Hollywood. The Bear star Lionel Boyce is getting nominated for Emmys, Jasper Dolphin is part of the Jackass family, and now Tyler The Creator is making his feature-length film debut.

The “WusYaName” rapper has joined the cast of Marty Supreme, an upcoming A24 film from director Josh Safdie that also stars Timothée Chalamet and the queen of Goop herself, Gwyneth Paltrow. Maybe this time she’ll remember being in the movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “plot details remain under wraps, but while it was previously rumored to be loosely inspired by a pro ping-pong player, the movie is said to be a fictionalized original film.”

Tyler previously starred in Adult Swim’s sketch series Loiter Squad and he also co-created The Jellies! with Boyce. Maybe he can ask Funny People scene stealer Eminem for some acting tips after he recently made nice with the rapper after trashing his 2010 album, Recovery.

“When [Recovery] came out, I f*cking hated it,” Tyler confessed. “Hated it, publicly was like, ‘This sh*t is wack,’ didn’t like it. And after watching [Painkillers], I felt so bad about those tweets and things like that, because thinking from his perspective, someone like me publicly saying that stuff and him getting off drugs and being clean and getting to a point in life where that’s behind him, and me implying, ‘Nah, this sh*t is wack.’ He probably felt like I was attacking him.”

We’re back on the Crumbl grind! If you haven’t been following, we’ve been obsessively tasting and ranking Crumbl Cookie’s weekly drops for about a month now, and it’s been some of the most fun we’ve had since we went out and ranked every fast food hamburger patty (yes, we mean JUST the patties). This week Crumbl is forcing us out of summer and into fall with a lineup of treats that exude chill autumnal vibes. So expect maple, cinnamon, pumpkin, and even fried ice cream. Nothing says summer is over like the need to fry ice cream.

So far, this has been the toughest week for me to rank as most of the cookies dropping are delicious enough to be someone’s favorite. This week brings the debut of the Maple Cinnamon Square and the return of the fan-favorite Caramel Pumpkin Cake, so if you’re ready for summer to end already, you’re going to find a lot to love at Crumbl.

Here are the best Crumbl Cookies for the week of September 16-21, ranked from least to most essential. Let’s dive in.

6. Raspberry Cheesecake ft. PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese

Thoughts & Tasting Notes:

The Raspberry Cheesecake is the only cookie this week that I think is a straight-up skip. There is nothing special about this cookie; it’s quite simply a slice of cheesecake shaped like a cookie.

Over a thick graham cracker crust, the cheesecake base of this cookie is vanilla topped with raspberry spread and some whipped cream. It tastes like your run-of-the-mill cheesecake.

It checks all the boxes of what you’d expect out of cheesecake: tangy, rich, and the best part of it is the graham cracker crust. At nearly $5 per cookie, you could just hit up your market and pick up a cheesecake from the frozen aisle and get the same experience, but way more cheesecake.

The Bottom Line:

Not special enough to really wow us. If you love PHILADELPHIA cream cheese, go for it, you’ll like this. But if you’ve had cheesecake before, this isn’t offering you anything new or interesting.

5. Caramel Pumpkin Cake

Thoughts & Tasting Notes:

Don’t let the look of this dessert fool you; this isn’t a cookie, it’s a cake (as the name would suggest). It’s soft, fluffy, and best enjoyed with a fork. I really like the flavor here, it’s a mix of rich spices and pumpkin balanced by a cream cheese frosting peppered with pumpkin cookie crumbs to add some texture and tame the tang of the cream cheese.

The texture however leaves a lot to be desired. This cake is most enjoyable in the center, where it’s soft. The exterior is a bit too dry, and that drier consistency doesn’t have as much flavor as the more moist areas of the cake. That kind of leaves the rim of the cake a throwaway, and because of that as much as I like this flavor, I can’t rank it any higher.

The Bottom Line:

The center of the cookie is amazing, but the outer edge is throwaway.

4. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip

Thoughts & Tasting Notes:

Because Crumbl alternates between Milk Chocolate and Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip cookies every week, I’m considering dropping this cookie entirely from the ranking, especially because it often lands around the middle of our rankings every week.

There isn’t much to say here, this is a very good chocolate chip cookie generously adorned with chunky semi-sweet chocolate ships and just a pinch of salt. If that sounds delicious to you, this cookie is going to deliver, but it’s almost always available so there is no need to buy this cookie unless its your favorite.

The Bottom Line:

Always a great, albeit boring, choice.

3. Brownie Batter

Thoughts & Tasting Notes:

Crumbl says this is a chocolate cookie topped with brownie batter, but I don’t know, it kind of just tastes exactly like a fudge brownie in the shape of a cookie. If you love brownies — and we do — that makes this a great option. It’s moist, decadent, and very rich, with a gooey fudge center and some semi-sweet chocolate bitterness on the backend.

Be warned, this is the type of cookie that’s so rich you’re going to need some sort of milk or at the very least a big swig of water once you hit the halfway point. It has a tendency to flood your tastebuds with chocolatey flavor.

The Bottom Line:

Wonderfully rich and decadent. If you love fresh brownies, you’ll love this.

2. Fried Ice Cream

Thoughts & Tasting Notes:

I had a lot of high hopes for this cookie because I love deep-fried ice cream. While it doesn’t quite deliver an experience like tempura ice cream, it’s still very delicious. Over a cinnamon cookie base sits a smear of butter cream topped with cinnamon-seasoned bits of streusel.

The cookie is buttery, cinnamon-rich, and incredibly sweet, with an addictive crunchy texture.

The Bottom Line:

Imagine an elevated sugar cookie with a crispy cinnamon-infused streusel topping and rich buttercream.

1. Maple Cinnamon Square

Thoughts & Tasting Notes:

This marks the fourth week in a row where the top spot on our Crumbl ranking has gone not to a cookie but to a cake. At this point, it almost feels like a cliche for me to award a cake the top spot and I desperately wanted this week to be different, but I have to keep it real. This is the best release at Crumbl this week. Hands down!

The Maple Cinnamon Square is moist and decadent and composed of a mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter marbled together and topped with maple cream cheese frosting.

The cake has a flavor similar to a freshly baked cinnamon roll, without the chewy texture. The maple brings some nice caramel and vanilla flavors to the equation, which lightens the spicy cinnamon vibe of the bread.

The Bottom Line:

A perfect balance of maple and cinnamon flavor. The newest dessert from Crumbl is an absolute essential. Pick it up while you can.

Since 2023, it’s felt like the 2010s with Ben Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello, and Jenny Lewis reuniting The Postal Service for a joint tour with Death Cab For Cutie. It’s been a great run, but it’s coming to an end soon.

Per a press release shared today (September 16), the band’s September 21 performance at HFStival in Washington DC, the final date of the Transatlanticism/Give Up Tour, “will mark the beginning of an indefinite hiatus for the band.” Gibbard also said in a statement:

“As we bring the Transatlanticism / Give Up Tour to a close, I want you all to know that getting the opportunity to perform these two albums live has been one of the greatest thrills and honors of my entire life. On behalf of Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service; Thank you so much for coming out and singing along. We will see you all again somewhere down the road.”

That last sentence seemingly indicates that Gibbard isn’t closing the door on future activity from The Postal Service, perhaps some more reunion performances down the road.

Gibbard, however, has been pretty clear on how he feels about the group releasing new music, saying in a 2023 interview, “Anybody who’s been asking a second Postal Service record, like really ask yourself, after 20 years, do you really think that there’s gonna something we could make that could even satisfy half of the desire you have in your mind as to what this record would be like? Twenty years — a lot of technology has changed. A lot of how we make music has changed dramatically since then. It wouldn’t be the same. […] Whatever we would make now would sound dramatically different than what we made 20 years ago, and I think it would be a disappointment even if we tried.”

The Bear didn’t get a second consecutive Outstanding Comedy Series trophy at the 2024 Emmys, but the show hardly went home empty handed. Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Liza Colón-Zayas all won in their retrospectives categories, and co-creator Christopher Storer was presented with Outstanding Directing for the “Fishes” episode. Lionel Boyce didn’t officially win anything, but he won the hearts of Loiter Squad fans everywhere by wearing clothing with a nod back to his Odd Future days.

As noted by GQ, Boyce, who plays pastry chef Marcus on the FX series, was “dressed in a smart black zip jacket with roomy pleated trousers, a club collar shirt with a pastel pink tie, and a wool baseball cap, all from Odd Future founder Tyler, the Creator’s label Golf Le Fleur.” He took off the beanie, so you know it was a big deal.

“Custom @lefleur for the Emmys,” Boyce wrote on Instagram. “Thank you Tyler, @darrenvongphakdy, @bykaidan, and @ruby.vickers for making it happen. Also thanks @nilou_nilou for always helping with the styling.”

Ahead of the Emmys, Boyce told Variety that he was on a plane when he learned about his first nomination. “I was asleep, and I woke up to a text,” he said. “I didn’t buy Wi-Fi, and I forgot to put my phone on airplane mode, so I got a random text saying, ‘Hot damn!’ I woke up all confused, and there were a couple of people on the plane who knew, so they said, ‘Congrats’ and stuff.”

The Bear season 4 does not currently have a premiere date.
