Great single IPAs in NJ..

The Stirling Hotel in Stirling is about 15 min. away by car it's an excellent craft bar by any standard. Their is a good Brew Pub named Trap Rock a bit closer in Berkeley Heights. The 2 closes places are in Summit The Hat Tavern and The Office both have a good selection. Both are 5 min ride from the Hilton. The 3 bars carry Magnify but don't always have it in stock.

 

Best places as mentioned are probably the Cloverleaf in Caldwell and Stirling Tavern in Gilette/Stirling, but you will spend 15-20 minutes to get there and be lucky if more than one of the beers mentioned in this thread is on tap so if you are running around for that I probably wouldn't bother.
Only places for Carton retail cans in the area are Shop Rite Liquors in Caldwell and Gary's in Madison but again delivery is hit or miss.
Why not bring some Wicked Weed, other NC goodies or other great beers distributed there that are not available in NJ, and set up an IP trade and have people come to you with the beers you want?

 

I second that...!

 

Just an FYI Coastal Evacuation is a DIPA. Cape May's "flagship" IPA is on the malty side.

I really enjoyed Spellbound's Peach IPA. It's pretty regularly on tap, and they canned it once last year with the intent to can again. It's not a straight up IPA but I thought I would at least mention it.

I haven't had this one in a while but I enjoyed NJ Beer Co.'s LBIPA when I had it.

Glasstown's Danky Kong was very good as well as their 609 IPA

 

Cool- thanks for the info! I'll see whats available as the WW distro is a bit hit or miss here as well and might post something to the IP boards.

Message me if either of you guys have something in mind! Monday's probably the only day I could meet up if either of you are close. Thanks again for the suggestions!

 

Kaos - Three 3's Brewing

 

Forgotten Boardwalk shore shiver is in my wheel house as a easy drinkable straight up IPA.
Just got their Pocket Trick imperial IPA. Good stuff also. NOT dogfish head 90 IPA of course, but good.
I personally like IPA with the bit of malt.
Had a brew called LBIPA from a north Bergen brewery a while ago.

 

I picked up some Spellbound cans last night and was very impressed. No malty flavors and great aromas. ~$9 for a sixer of 12ozs.
