    Going with the stuff I can actually get my hands on:

    Blazing World
    Fortunate Islands
    Saint Archer DIPA
    Sculpin
    Molotov Lite

    It's so easy to saw Heady. Think outside the BA circlejerk box.

    Out of all the IPAs ive had in cans, my favorites are definitely:

    Jai Alai
    Heady
    Brew Bus Last Stop
    Molotov Lite
    Two Hearted
    CBC Flower Child
    Fortunate Islands

    Too bad I can't get most of these on a consistent basis without traveling or trading


    EDIT: Can't forget about Modus Hoperandi! That is one damn good beer.

    Fresh Swami's, Gandhi Bot & Abrasive really aren't that far behind Heady, if much at all IMHO.

    Pretty easy to find in western Washington, but not so much anywhere else:

    It's pretty hard to beat an IPA that's brewed on a hop farm and utilizes late additions of Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and Ahtanum hops. This is the beer that I will miss the most when my stint in the Pacific Northwest comes to an end, and the cans have a lot to do with it (my other favorites are draft only).

    There are too many to count

    In Chicago, it's either Anti Hero or Heyoka, but will soon be Ninja vs Unicorn

    I could make a list, but the latest for me is Snake Handler. 10% ABV in a 12 oz can. Comes in 4 packs. Trade for it...you won't be sorry.

    Can't wait for Pipeworks to start canning and open a taproom. Hopefully they can all of the Unicorns and Square Grouper!

    I had one of these given to me by a friend and it was amazing. I only had one but it is burned into my palate. I highly recommend it.

    Founders All Day IPA is pretty easy to find in cans around here. Less than 5% abv I know I know but I like it.

    I meant to add that this only costs $8/six at Total Wine as well. 2 weeks old at the time of last purchase.

    ...had my first Bengali the other day. I don't know why it isn't mentioned much. It has "outstanding" ratings but nobody ever talks about it.
