    So many really really great beers thru the years; But still a cold Heady Topper is still my favorite.

    Yea, so many quality hoppy beers out there. From Escondido, Chico and Santa Rosa to Milton and Stowe, Grand Rapids to Tampa, and about 37 (give or take) in between.

    3 Floyds Blot Out the Sun. Proper hoppy where you least expect it.

    Time was, Field 41 was the undisputed champion. Sadly, a recipe change has hollowed the beer to far inferior brewski.

    Bhodizafa and Cedar Dust go down my throat fairly often these days.

    Head Hunter - what all hoppy beers want to be when they grow up.

    My favorite hoppy beers are those from Hill Farmstead (e.g., Edward, Abner,...) but unfortunately these beers are only intermittent available in my area (Philly area).

    My favorite hoppy beer that I can obtain more readily is Root Down Bine.

    Cheers!

    Maine Beer Co. -- Lunch. IMO It's a perfect balance of something that's relatively easy to find (At least on the east coast) but still excellent enough that I feel I'm treating myself every time I buy a bottle.

    Not sure I can narrow this down to one particular beer, so I'll just go with Stone!

    Of the ten best hoppy beers I've ever had, probably six or seven are Hill Farmstead beers. Can't really pick one, but I'd be happy drinking Edward every day for the rest of my life.

    Revolution Brewing's Sun Crusher. It's a delicious hoppy wheat beer.

    And like so many of the beers I enjoy the most, it's seasonal. But it's worth stocking up on when sum-sum-summertime comes around. (I'm down to my last two six-packs...)

    My favorite may change by the day if not the hour, but right now Dogfish Head 60 Minute is hitting the right hoppy spot for me.

    Another vote for several HF beers. Especially for what they make under 6% ABV. They are a tier unto themselves. Even in the very competitive 7-10% ABV range, they are in the top tier of IPA makers (any sub style) IMO.

    Good ol' Two Hearted since I can get it anytime. But I really like Pliny, Head Hunter, Zombie Dust, or Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster (from Short's) when I can get any of them.
