    Howdy,
    I'm an IPA fanatic, but also have a mortgage, wife and kid... my go to IPAs are Deschutes Inversion and Ninkasi Total Domination IPA. Both can be had for around $13.00 a half rack.
    What are your favorite budget brews?

    New Belgium Ranger and Sierra Nevada Torpedo are both good and won't break the bank.

    Lagunitas' hoppy offerings are usually a great balance between quality and price point. Anything Deschutes puts out in 6 packs is also recommended.

    SN Torpedo, Lagunitas Hop Stupid

    not sure what Stone goes for in Wash, heard it is cheaper in Cali then NY, their regular IPA is underrated option that is easily found

    Living in Canada I always get a little bummed by "beer on a budget" thread, I can't even get cheap swill for a buck a bottle.

    firstly welcome to BA and secondly I tend to go for lagunitas for a tasty treat for cheap I also run the beer section at a large liquor store so 40 beers on tap we regularly have a budget brew (64oz growler for 5 bucks) it helps pay those two mortgages my brother without making my taste buds sad

    Sorry buddy...up North.

    I like Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA ($9.99 for 6 bottles) and Founders All Day IPA ($9.99 for 6 cans.) Also, Lagunitas bombers in the Chicago area are cheap as dirt.

    Right now, I would say Revolution Anti Hero IPA. I can get a 6 pack for 10 dollars in Chicago and it's a solid IPA.

    Go for Founder's All Day IPA in the (canned) 15-pack. Runs a little less than $20 and it satiates the need very well. Super tasty and refreshing.

    Not sure if you get it out there, but Smutty Finest Kind is cheap and delicious. Also, Widmer Upheaval is a quality budget IPA.

    I bought Sierra Nevada Torpedo here in Louisville, Ohio last week. A sixer for $8.99. First time I had it. I rated it a 5. You absolutely cannot go wrong with it.
