    Pretty high bar but are there any relatively new (a year or less) IPA/IIPA out there that not many of us are aware of...excluding brewery only releases.

    Square grouper, if pipeworks is able to make more. I also like permanent funeral and ninja vs unicorn more then heady and pliny.

    I wish I could get Pseudo Sue here in NY. I'd gladly trade multiple Heady's for her:slight_smile:

    I agree the Sue variants could give either a run for their money. Needs to be easier to get though.

    Maybe huge bias but Kane Head High blows both out of the water.

    It will come from Alpine, whatever it is. Bad Boy is as good as both you mention...

    I know I'm a homer for saying this but Hop Juju or Bodhi (when CBC starts to bottle). I imagine Juju will be a much bigger deal next year.

    I am pretty sure that the Heady Topper hype happened because people tried an IIPA with a yeast string (+ excellent one at that) different from the usual fare. Any IIPA from a brewery that will create their own great yeast string or put an existing one to great use will have the next Heady Topper on their hands.

    I bet there might be one or two brett primary DIPAs coming out in the next year or so that could make waves. Or at least one wave, anyway.

    In my pants.
