    Just seeing what's popular and what's in everyone's top 5 IPA's, I'm constantly trying new IPAs to find the best out there. So far my top are Ruinten and Ballast Point Sculpin. Il let you know if I have tried anyone's suggestions, just trying to see what's out there and what more seasons drinkers then myself like. Thanks!

    If you go to the top 250 beers and search by IPA and DIPA or Imperial IPA it will show you in a nutshell what the masses think.

    For me personally, I am just scratching the surface on craft beer and IPA is my favorite style by far.
    I haven't tried nearly as many as most here but these are my favorites so far.

    You being sarcastic? Their basic IPA I didn't like but the hop stoopid was decent, nothing mind blowing, haven't tried their Maximus double ipa yet.

    Sucks is the name of Lagunitas best (IMO) IPA. Maximus is a well-balanced imperial.

    SN Hoptimum
    Founders Double Trouble
    Bell's Oracle
    Founders Harvest
    SN Celebration and Harvest ale

    Dreadnaught would be replacing DoubleTrouble but I'm sour with 3F abandoning Southern Illinois :stuck_out_tongue:
