    My condo association has determined that there can be no glass or glassware when drinking outside in the establishment.

    I'm resorted to figuring out what some of the best dipa/ipas I should buy in Chicago or trade for in a can.

    There are several that come to mind.

    1. Heady Topper
    2. Gandhi Bot
    3. Daisy Cutter
    4. Sixpoint Resin - This is a big 'meh' for me though.

    Anyone else have any other recommendations?

    I would definitely say you should seek out Surly Furious, Sun King Osiris, Sixpoint Bengali Tiger, and of course some Torpedo.

    If I was in your position, I would load up on Heady Topper and Furious and smile all summer long... Cheers!

    Forgot about Furious, thanks. I'm not a big fan of Sixpoint but I'll try seeking out Sun King.

    Thanks!

    Keep the glass inside and pour the beer into a solo cup. Or stock up on SNPA and Daisy Cutter.

    When you live on a high rise and it's a 30 second walk to the elevator and a one minute elevator ride to my unit, getting refills is not exactly convenient.

    How can you say Daisy Cutter, but not Galactic Double or Meatwave?! Obliterated a few of those over the memorial day weekend.

    I also like Wild Onion Hop Slayer, Ska Modus Hoperandi.

    There are also the Finch beers: cut-throat pale ale and threadless, but I like the others a bit more.

    p.s. Where the hell can you get Heady Topper and Furious in Chicago?! I know you can find Torpedo.

    Wasn't the biggest fan of Meatwave due to the smoked malt and although Galactic DD is nice, it's not available anymore. I'm looking for cans that are more easily accessible. Also, HT and Furious are from trades . If you read carefully, I stated "looking for cans available in Chicago or to trade for".

    I wasn't the biggest fan of Finch, Wild Onion or Ska.. I'll probably need to start trading for an entire case of Heady Topper, it's my favorite DIPA in a can.

    NB Ranger comes in 12 pack cans at a great price for a great beer. If you don't live in MN I would not go seeking Surly Furious out it is just meh to me not to mention way overpriced.

    Heady topper wins hands down. Has to stay cold until you drink it but amazing. Ghandi bot is nice between 4 packs of heady topper. Haha.
