30 IPAs to Try Before You Die

Hasn't always been - and freshness really matters. Haven't had many good BR beers in quite some time though.

 

Yeah, Double Jack trumps Wookey. I guess they were going for variety, though. No point in making a list of 30 IPAs if 25 of them have a similar flavor profile.

 

..its funny how the "IPA" label is seemingly used Very loosely Now when talking of diff ones whether it be.. IPA, DIPA, even Pal Ales & APA's sometimes. I know folks that consider a Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner an "IPA" type too.

 

Yep, winter seasonal. Usually starts showing up on shelves towards the end of October. Can't tell you how much of this stuff I buy every winter.....but it's quite a lot!

 

im still seeing celebration on certain shelves....would you guys say its still good at this point? and if so, for how much longeR?

 

Celebration doesn't drop off as quickly as most IPAs, it's still good for a long time.
Buy it and enjoy it.

 

The list was too West/East coast dominated. Missing from that list:

-Abrasive
-Illumination
-Alchemy Hour
-Double Crooked Tree
-Myrcenary
-Odell IPA
-Golden Nugget
-Two Hearted
-Ruination

 

I can't agree with any IPA list that doesn't include Pliny.

 

Any "best of" IPA list without Head Hunter is irrelevant in my opinion, plus a few of the beers on there I find awful.

 

Never mind the personal opinions of "this"/"that" should be included... they seemed to cover a diverse range of origin but lacked all IPA types. Where's the Belgian/White IPA?
If you're going to compile a well-rounded list that omits some of the true bests (based on BA reviews), at least include all types of IPAs.
