    some damn good IPA's out there

    i'm currently sipping on a 22 of firestone walker union jack ipa, and thinking it's almost as nice as the russian river pliny the elder. nothing beats a perfect west coast style IPA, other than maybe a well made belgian...

    For whatever reason, IPA seems to be most breweries "flagship" beer. Can you name a decent micro brewery that doesn't make an IPA year round? (Omegang is the only one I can come up with)

    Not discounting the style, cause I love em , I just find this interesting. IPAs do give me a hangover like no other beer can though, maybe this is why I'm nitpicking on this one. IPAs hurt, even in small doses. 3 Southern Tiers gave me a pretty serious all day hangover once and I didn't even get drunk. WTF!?!?!

    I've been enjoying the Hop Devil lately.

    Dogfish 90 min is a great one. As is Brooklyn Beer IPA - my favorite

    SN Torpedo. Not great, but very good, and really cheap. I love value beers like that. No need for a special occasion to drink a few of them.

    I just found this brewery on Saturday, conveniently located across the road from one of the better surf spots in the UK. Apparently they are available in select spots in the US now.

    They gave us a nice little impromptu tasting/sample session ->
    The Punk IPA is excellent, as is the ZeitGeist Dark Ale. Tokyo = holy shit!

    I miss the PDX beer scene. Amnesia was a fun beer joint and their IPA, while not so refined, was very good. TugBoat, around the corner from Mary's Club, also brews a very nice IPA. If you're into funky beer joints, Tugboat rocks.

    The San Diego beer scene is pretty unfortunate. Green Flash IPA is really good and AleSmith's IPA is pretty fucking excellent. After those two, you have to visit Pizza Port or Oggi's Pizza for good IPA on tap.

    Also enjoyed Punk IPA, certainly has a decent measure of hops.

    Paradox (Was called Speyside when I bought it though, I think?) is great in a kick-you-in-the-balls-until-you-cry way. Also a quick trip to shitfaceville.

    What does piss me off is their media-spin -- this whole 'we don't care if you like it, it just means you're not good enough for it.' It works for Arrogant Bastard because, well, it's called Arrogant Bastard. On them it just sounds like whiney scotsman with bad tasting beer.

    Just wanted to point out that Mad Hatter is from New Holland not Bell's, but you probably knew that already.

    Any way, I really like SN Torpedo, Titan brewing Co. IPA, Bells Two-hearted, Samuel Smiths IPA, and several others. Loves me some IPAs.

    if on the east coast, yards makes a couple different IPAs that are good and on a budget.

    i like their philly style IPA but its milder in hoppyness which i prefer over their standard IPA.

    Well, they don't care what you think and they say so on the bottle.

    The guy we were chatting with (not one of the two founders) is an Aussie.

    I had another Zeitgeist with lunch today and damn, that stuff is good.

    Well indeed. And it hasn't stopped me buying their beer. So I guess I'm the fool, really.

    I think you can get it for near wholesale prices through their website. Certainly cheaper than the local Tesco, anyways.

    The 90 is almost too hoppy/heavy sometimes. The 60 is perfect for summer.

    Recommend any IPA lovers in CO to check out Breckenridge Brewery's Small Batch 471 IPA. I know Argonuat carries it or if you're downtown I'll buy the first round at Breck Brew.
