    Sure do, 80% of the time its what im drinking. With some of the heat waves we've seen this summer, I have trended to some lighter offerings like APA's and some wheats from time to time.

    Hooked? No - it's worse than that. I think I'm married to IPAs since everytime I drink something else, I think I'm cheating.

    Yup....but I find myself getting away from the piney bombs lately for the more tropical IPA's. Once I started homebrewing last year and experimenting with different hops and learning their flavor profiles etc it really opened my eyes up to what you can do with this style of beer.

    Yup, still hooked. I like just about all styles and I try to keep the variety up, but about everything 3rd beer I have is a hoppy IPA and it always makes me smile.

    Hello, my name is Wolf and I'm hooked on IPA's, IIPA's and maybe a Hoppy Imperial Stout in the winter

    I think I've gone to the darkside of wilds and sours. That being said, I haven't met too many IPAs that I don't love; they just aren't my favorite anymore.

    Love them more than ever, but my tastes are definitely moving away from the larger-than-life 10%abv DIPA's and more towards the best of the 6-8% beers.

    I love IPAs. My problem is that I've been drinking them so damn ass often that I plan on buying almost no IPAs the next time I go to the store. I used to not really care for Imperial Stouts/Porters/Stouts, but I've actually been craving them now that I've had so many hoppy beers. Ugh.

    Yes, they taste so good. I should have some Flower Power coming in the mail today. However, I'm working to try other beers, particularly Pilsner's as this is unchartered territory for me.

    More of an IPL guy myself, but I do very much enjoy a Racer 5, Flower Power, and others somewhat regularly

    I'll be on the lookout for the Stone offering as they are distributed to NC. When traveling I keep an eye out for locals that I can't here. On my last visit to Florida I finally got to taste Cigar City Jai Lai IPA - very tasty.
