    My Go To IPA is Cigar City Brewing Jai Ali IPA. Here in FL it is affordable, readily available and it suits my palette just fine. As a footnote my stby IPA is New Belgium’s Voodoo Ranger. If you can find it, and it is rare in our county, try Florida Beer Country Swamp Ape IPA. The name can put you off but I swooned on the citrusy hop.

    I’ve never been disappointed by Two Hearted, but I live a few miles from Fat Heads and a Head Hunter fresh on tap is always ready, so it’s my go-to. Its big brother Hop Juju is also great, but it’s only a seasonal.

    Troegs Perpetual. Readily available in this part of Pa, usually fresh, and never disappoints

    Anybody have a count? Who is the undisputed “fan favorite” ipa on beer advocate? Two Hearted?

    Founder's Centennial for 15 pack at 7% and great taste as well to me its a bargain and replaced Sierra NV pale as my go to. Original reply though about Deschutes fresh squeezed which i am sitting here enjoying i agree with and might have me rethinking my goto choices

    Gotta stay under 6 abv to keep it going. Founders All Day at home. Lagunitas or Sierra at restaurants.

    Funny, I've seen this graphic removed before for being "snarky" or Grammar Fascisti.

    It's, partly, why I refrained from making a palate comment previously.

    I will have to check that out next time I am in Colorado. I have only bought it in 4 packs of pints for around $11 in Estes Park and Denver.

    I find it informative myself, I guess others don't.

    Wasatch's Island Hop when I can find it. It has a slight mango and tropical tinge to it that float you away

    In New Mexico/Arizona/Colorado, La Cumbre Elevated is the definition of go-to.

    Of the beers I could find in a gas station almost anywhere in the country? Two Hearted.

    Being in Florida, I can usually find Jai Lai IPA fresh, and it can be found almost everywhere, including Publix and Wal-mart. Also, Lagunitas IPA is very good and readily available.

    As a San Diego native, for a long time it was North Park Beer Company’s Hop Fu! Now it is Original 40’s Glowing Sunsets.
