Best all-around DIPA - The Truth?

Where can I get The Truth in NOVA? It doesn't show up on the TW Fairfax inventory

 

Ruination

 

A friend recently brought me a bottle of Dreadnaught direct from the brewery last week, and I have to say that it's way better than some of the reviews I read describe it. I found it to be light, fresh, and despite it's high abv, the alcohol taste was pretty much non-existent. From what my friend told me, this is the only Pale, IPA, DIPA that's regularly available. If I lived by you, I think this would be my go-to.

 

For me, the 6-pack vs. 4-pack debate is moot. My go-to DIPA is Double Jack, it's always available in any craft section that I frequent.

 

Is it possible that Gandhi Bot hasn't been mentioned yet? Perhaps I missed it. I must have. If not... I am mentioning it. Word.

 

FW Double Jack for me. It costs a little more than beers listed here, but it's damn good and very easy to find in my neck of the woods.

 

2X is fantastic. $10 a sixer, 8%, incredibly balanced, massively distributed, and of course just plain delicious. They could easily throw this in a bomber and charge the same price as the sixer....but they don't. Praise be to Southern Tier for their consistently great beers (with, of course a few exceptions), reasonable prices and fresh creativity! Cheers!

 

Gandhi Bot isn't readily available at the moment, even is most parts of CT. We'll see what happens when they expand their brewery capacity in Upstate NY.

 

Really glad to see this thread, the Truth is in my opinion one of the best all-round IPA's, the best in this area at least. I was impressed by the single hop imperial IPA series but this beer is the finished product; bringing together all the best parts of those beers into one extremely well-crafted DIPA. I assume they will expand its distribution in the coming months so if you get the chance to try some, I echo others in suggesting you give it a go.

 

Alpine's Keene Idea or Bad Boy.

 

Sierra's TORPEDO...hands down, esp @ $9/6pk.

 

Just picked up some this past week. It is available.

 

I had some last week too, I think he was just saying that it isn't very widely distributed even in CT and isn't shipped out of state. It is fantastic (probably the best smelling beer I've ever encountered). I really wish I could get it in MA, but I'll probably keep heading to Putnam for some when I'm at the in laws who aren't too far from CT on 395.

 

I have to drive 3 hrs each way to get anything. But my favorite store stocks Surly and Abrasive gets my vote.

 

Gets my vote too, though via bomber @ 6.99.

 

DirtWolf isn't good. It's great! This beer has replaced Flower Power as my favorite hoppy beer after 1 growler. Granted, I live in Downingtown, a few miles from Victory, but I predict this will be a 99 point beer by the end of November.

 

i cant wait to try it, im gonna start calling some shops up by me

 

With a name like Dirt Wolf, it's got to be good!

 

At this moment in time Victory DirtWolf is the king of go to IIPAS.

 

Lagunitas Sucks I think is slightly better tasting than the Truth, but I haven't seen it in months on the shelves. If it gets offered in 6 packs for <$12 and year around availability then its the winner. If not, then the Truth is the best IMO for the criteria that the OP laid out.

Torpedo I do enjoy, but just have a hard time finding it fresh anywhere. Usually the hops taste a tad stale each time I pick up a 6er of it.
