    Obviously, HT when I'm in VT! Otherwise, Lagunitas Sucks or Founders Centennial IPA. I used to be a Flower Power addict, but I'm getting over it (too bitter aftertaste), so I moved to Founders, which seems a little less bitter, but still hoppy.

    My family lives in Palm Beach county, and I've been working them to get me some Jail Alai. It's fairly low distro down there, but they do get it...which is better than CT.

    Cheers!

    Ruination and Racer 5 as I can get these all the time. If I had to pick a favorite that is more limited I would have to go with Hop Venom.

    Central Illinois has a new "micro brewery" in Savoy called Triptych. Out of the gate their beers were not great, but they've been learning and improving and their current offerings are quite good. Getting a lot of local play on tap around Champaign-Urbana, and their Galaxy IPA has been on tap at Crane Alley and this is one deliciously, fantastic beer!!!!! Great job, guys! Love to see a local operation be successful! I'll keep enjoying your product.

    I am absolutely going with Sixpoint's Resin here.

    I'm not one to bash insane-o hop bombs, as I occasionally enjoy them. However, I'm a huge fan of balance in a beer. I don't want any one feature to completely wreck my palate for the others.

    Resin may be the most balance DIPA I've ever had. Refreshing, smooth, beautiful.

    Racer 5 is great but hard to get fresh here in Michigan. Two Hearted is Michigan-made, and equally as good as far as I'm concerned. I've had plenty of tasty IPAs, but something about the flavors of Two Hearted and Racer 5 just make me all happy-like.
