    Curious to see what our BA's favorite IPA (or double IPA) is that is brewed in your state?
    Something many advocates would be very proud of, understandably..

    I live in Pennsylvania, rich of fine breweries, but I have made my choice. My favorite IPA would have to be Victory Dirtwolf. It is fantastic and stands up to just about anything out there.

    Parish Ghost in The Machine is the best IPA in Louisiana by far. It is also the best beer in the state period.

    Seconding Victory, but with Hop Ranch. For me, it blows Dirt Wolf out of the water. Also it doesn't help that the Dec/Jan batch of Dirt Wolf was awful for some reason.

    For me in Wisconsin it would be a Belgian IPA called Bedlam from Ale Asylum. Brewed with Citra hops, a Belgian style yeast from here in the states and a whole lot of deliciousness!

    Cliche but I would have to say Younger, or Elder as the one you can find in bottles. Only one at a time when you can but it is an awesome IPA. Some people don't like it just because it is so popular but it is the best IPA around these parts

    Michigan: Two Hearted
    Illinois: Tough call but I'm going to go with Half Acre Space IPA

    Hometown is New Orleans. I havent had the pleasure of trying Parish Ghost in the Machine, but I know that NOLA Hopitoulas has been about the only local I can stand to drink when I've gone home for the past few years
