    What do you think the best DIPA is?? I enjoy Weyerbacher Double Simcoe the best.

    why not just search DIPAs, click rating and then get the most honest consensus of what's thought of as the best?

    We continue to see this the same. I love that avatar. And to save anyone the time if they don't know, Heady Topper.

    I, unfortunately, have not had every DIPA that is available. Therefore, I do not know. Please send me all the DIPAs.

    Honestly, more of this? Why do people continue to have an incessant need to crown the "BEST" in every style? It really is ridiculous. Enjoy great beer in every style, recognize those in the top tier, and then move along.

    I can tell you this: Double Simcoe is not the best.

    Whatever the answer is, it will be compared to Pliny the Elder...

    Too many to choose from...that said, for me, Pliny and Citra, are absolutely outstanding and most certainly should be in any conversation regarding the best DIPA. Ultimately, the best DIPA is the one that you enjoy most. Cheers!

    There are way too many great ones to even crown the best DIPA. The most recent one that blew my mind and my tongue off is Knee Deep's Simtra. Aside from that, Hopslam, Hoptimum, Arctic Panzer Wolf, Dreadnaught, Devil Dancer, Double Crooked Tree, The Oracle are tops on my list

    Is Ply-ny the Elder better than Pliny the Elder?

    Bell's Kalamazoo Hopsolution, Three Floyds Dreadnaught, Dogfish Head 90 Minute, and Lagunitas Hop Stoopid are all DIPAs that made me think, "Holy shit, that's a good beer." Take it as you like.
