    I'm convinced that Henhouse has never made a bad IPA.

    You fuck with El Segundo Brewing at all? Ir Beachwood?

    I prefer ESB over Beachwood but ESB makes some wonderful IPAs

    If I'm local and having beer at home I'm drinking Kane Party Wave. If I'm out at a local bar I'm having Kane Head High or Carton 077XX.

    I love trying new beers, so more often than not I'm grabbing something I've never had before, but those are my go to every day local beers.

    Jai Alai is my staple. Less than $10 a sixer and always fresh at local grocer, also will find it at local restaurants as craft option, never disappoints.

    In Jersey, Kane's Head High is excellent.

    I just realized I don't really have a "go-to" IPA. Or a "go-to" beer at all, really. :astonished:

    I kinda just go by the seasons. I'll drink Hopslam in the early part of the year, Oktoberfest in the fall, BCBS before Christmas, so on and so forth. If I sat down and studied it, there's probably some sort of seasonal beer every month or so I go and grab. Or if I'm out of town, I'll grab something I can't get back at home.

    If you look at my beer fridge, I very rarely have more than a 4-pack (or 6-pack) of anything in there at any given time. In the old days, I'd have a 12-pack of SNPA or Surly Furious or Two-Hearted or something. Maybe I need to return to my roots. I haven't had any of those in so long, and I really liked them, once upon a time.

    For some reason Brooklyn East India Pale Ale slipped my mind. I drink that just as often as the other 2.

    Mine is Hop Dang Diggity by Jekyll Brewing from Alpharetta GA. It's smooth, piney and citrusy. Only 6.7% so I usually have 2 or 3 in a sitting.

    Pernicious is fantastic but only if super fresh! Just cracked a can right now!

    Cigar City Jai Alai! Best IPA in Florida! The fresher the better - it degrades quickly!
