    Just about to post the same thing.

    For me a tie goes to Maximus, though.

    Does the place mix-a-six? Grab one of each.

    You can never go wrong with Two Hearted Ale.

    Except that one time a batch got contaminated a few years ago... That sucked.

    I'd go for two hearted, the lagunitas ones are also very good, particularly Maximus. All day was terrible in my opinion.

    Lagunitas Maximus- This double will take care of you. Balanced and Refreshing for this time of year
    Moylans Hopsickle- Talk about an underated Imperial IPA. No one has mentioned this one yet on the thread, however it's a sleeper in my opinion, and ranks among the best in hop smacking for me.Cheers!

    I agree, Go for the Hercules. If you like DIPAs then this is the way to go

    Two Hearted is one of my favorite beers in the world for sure. Add me to the list.

    Don't buy All Day. I would look for the freshest Two Hearted or Stone.

    Two Hearted. Haven't had all of them but two hearted is my favorite from that list. A very solid IPA.

    I've never had the All Day, but my favorite of those would be the Bell's. The Great Divide is excellent as well, but it's a DIPA. If they have Great Divide Titan IPA, that would win my vote.

    Hopsickle without a doubt! Look at the reviews. Look at some of my recent posts. Hopsickle was a staple in the IPA/DIPA community for quite some time, but is now being overlooked because of the variety of IPA's available, today. Still, it remains one of the best, but with whatever is hottest at the moment always taking up the limelight, it's vastly overlooked. You'll never be the same if you try Moylan's and all of those other IPA's you mentioned will have a hard time living up to the 'sickle.

    Maximus or Two Hearted. That All Day will taste like water after drinking Double Trouble.

    I ran into the same thing yesterday. I saw a guy trying to pick a good ipa yesterday while I was grabbing a few things, recommended two hearted of course. Checked the date, 10/2012! I immediately recommended something else.

    My vote's for Two Hearted, if it's fresh.
