    Yellow Rose, Fresh Squeezed and Sculpin. If I roll into a bar and any of these are there, I am a happy man

    see a couple for Fresh Squeezed in here already, I had it for the first time on draft the other night and didn't know it had a fan base like that... Thought it had too much sweetness that wasn't even malt sweetness. and I love citrusy IPAs.

    My par would probably be DFH 90 or dirtwolf. Go-tos if available. Jai Alai would be if they still distributed up here

    I'd have to go with Sculpin. Basically 2 week old Sculpin is available at 20 places within a mile from my house. Still a go to when I'm feeling "par". I'm excited that the new Grapefruit Sculpin will soon be in Cans. In San Diego you "can" drink most anywhere if the beer is in a can. Maybe not legally but a can is very inconspicuous.

    Jai Alai for sure. I much prefer it to Heady and Pliny, and I can buy it regularly without a ZJ.

    Two Hearted or Crooked Tree. I drink a bunch of both and I am disappointed if I passed on either in favor of a new beer that ends up be worse than either.

    I came here to say just that. Westrbrook is a rock solid, 'that's what an American IPA is', textbook type of beer. Nothin' fancy, but gets the job done and makes you smile while doing it.

    @muddyh2oblues said it Best. When I first started getting into better beer, I never knew beer was like milk. There's a crucial way hoppy beers need to be stored and I didn't know about checking bottled/best by dates. One day I bought a sixer of Hop Devil, drank one and wasn't really impressed. It was Malty and Bitter. I took a trip to Downingtown and visited the brewpub there. I ordered a Hop Devil, smelled it and it was a totally different beast than what I had from the bottle. It was Citric/Floral with some Tropical Fruit notes. I was amazed! Now any IPA that I have from now on has to be Citric, Floral and Tropical vibes going on. The last IPA to give me all these Aromas/Flavors is Maine Beer Company's Another One. These two brews are my "Par" IPAs.

    Westbrook and Jai Alai. Unfortunately, neither of them are readily available where I live. But they are my pars, with Westbrook probably closer to a par 3 birdie.
