    Just went into albertsons to grab my usual sixer and see Sierra Nevada Celebration on the shelf 7.99. Heard a lot about this beer but never tried it.

    I'll give you three:

    1. Hopslam
    2. Alchemy Hour
    3. Abrasive Ale

    Mostly in that order...though 2 and 3 could easily be transposed.

    Heady is TOPS! Probably tops all beers for me even all stouts. Hard not to categorize though...
    Other than that:
    • Lagunitas Sucks
    • Victory Dirtwolf
    • FFF Permanent Funeral
    • Sculpin? Maybe Enjoy By?
    Sure wish Michigan could crank out a top IPA... :slight_frown: Oh well, can't complain, at least we get some of these!

    I think First Harvest from Founders is a pretty good Michigan IPA...

    My IPA tastes keep morphing and changing. I used to love Sculpin, now it's kind of meh. Right now I'm really into Schlafly's TIPA. Delicious.

    Sucks, because it's local and tastes like liquid Christmas tree and reminds me of Christmas.
    Keene idea because it blew me away on tap.



    That's it. ......

    I do love me Sculpin as far as single IPAs are concerned.

    As for DIPA's Heady Topper is completely worth the hype, best damn thing I ever drank.

    Oh and Dreadnaught, I will always drink this if it's available.
