    Yet another Two Hearted vote. It’s just always good and almost always fresh somewhere close.

    Groundswell Brewing's "Quattro".

    Most of my original Go-To's have Gone-Wents because they become harder to get fresh.

    For me, it’d have to be Fiddlehead IPA. A classic that is commonly available in my area. Of course, I prefer others but they are not always accessible where I live. Happy weekend, folks!

    I like to start off with a citrusy strong one so either Voodoo Ranger or the VR Juicy Haze

    Cigar City "Jai Alai" is my go-to when I'm craving a solid IPA. It's not the best IPA I've ever had but it is consistently delicious and since I'm in Florida I can find it pretty much anywhere.

    Usually just grab whatever New Belgium’s rotating IPA is. Many taste similar, but I trust NB. Tried agent 77 and juice force the other day.

    Greene King IPA. A proper IPA which, I suspect none of the above named are.

    I gotta go with Melvin IPA. The only beer that I try not to run completely out of.

    Gotta go with Electric Jellyfish from Pinthouse Pizza. It’s on draft dependably in my area and never fails to satisfy.

    Double Mind Haze from Firestone Walker. It's tropical and hazy. Super drinkable. It's the one I keep coming back to.

    Like some of the above posters, our household has settled on the kind of pale ale that might as well be classified as an IPA. In our case it's First Drop, from Upper Pass. Punches way above its weight at a mere 5.8% alcohol. Probably the most frequent IPA proper is the Alchemist's Focal Banger. Living a couple miles from VT means both of these beers, and plenty like them, are available within 5 minutes of the house, whenever. Our location also gives us access to Tree House, and all things being equal, I prefer a few of theirs--but since the round trip involves two hours of driving for marginal improvement, they don't make it into the everyday category.

    Pseudo Sue from Toppling Goliath is currently my favorite hazy IPA. Lots of citra flavor and solid everything.

    Sloop Juice Bomb. Sloop is local to me and I can find it in any grocery store around me for $10/6 pack.

    I also load up on District 96 Factory IPA when it's available.
