    I’ve noticed a bunch of announcements lately for triple ipa’s in California. Everyone knows about pliney in about a week. SARA just released canned ‘Of this world’ yesterday.
    I’ve also seen news about Heretic’s Evil 3 and El Segundo’s Powerplant. The breweries hype it up on social media like itheyre all equivalent to a PtY release.
    Anybody had these other lesser acclaimed tipa’s? And are they worth seeking out?

    Yes. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. TIPA season.

    PtY is tops for me. Power Plant is also a really good one. But for the most part, I really don't enjoy TIPAs. Of This World was a miss for me, personally.

    Power Plant is worth picking up for the price/availability. always pretty solid. :+1:

    I’ve yet to have a good Hazy TIPA... that being said, I’ve have very few bad WCTIPAs.

    It’s TIPA season... everyone wants in on Pliny Mania!!!!

    Hops of Fury should get honorable mention, not the best one though.

    I actually prefer Hops of Fury to PtY. I felt like Younger was too malty/sweet the last few years. I don't know

    Yes. In fact, they even have it on tap at Toronado right... oh wait... it tapped out yesterday, it looks like :/

    I only tried it in bottle, from K&L Wines. But they don't have it in stock right now. They do get El Segundo drops regularly (probably due to the Hollywood location).

    I traded for like six different Monkish hazy IPAs to see what all the fuss was about and my two favorites were TIPAs.

    Speaking of singing the tipa blues. I don’t do too much triples these days. But when I do it’s HoF or Dr Lupulin. Younger and Power Plant for me. There’s another Revision triple I enjoy. But it’s a hazy. Them don’t count. I like my triples clear so I can see through the abv’s.

    If MT rebrews it, I really liked Avatar of Might from last year.

    Is Knee Deep Simtra still good? A few years ago if you could find it fresh it was pretty solid.
    Also from the peak Noble days: Citra Yum Yum

    I forgot about Simtra. Yes when it’s fresh. Remember the days when we would get Breaking Bud, Simtra and other Knee Deep bottles and it would just sit on the shelves collecting dust. Jeremy left to pursue his own dream in Sparks. I followed leaving Knee Deep shelf turds and it’s all Revision these days. Haven’t had any KD stuff since.

    Institution's Always Wishing Too Late is decent. I'm not sure if it is packaged. I'm not an IPA person but I enjoyed this one.

    Altamont is canning their yearly brewed triple ipa SCARECITY and I believe its already on the market. Pretty tasty.

    I’ll probably buy a can or two , I remember 3-4 years it beat out the younger at the bistro fest. Altamont stuff seems malty to me lately tho

    Altamont has another good one in Maui 3X, really fruity hoppy & easy to drink. I've pretty much loved all of Revision's rotation TIPAs though they come in 22oz bombers. Dr. Lupulin has shown up in new 4x16oz. cans around here now
