    Mine is Sierra Nevada Torpedo; especially in the 16oz cans. One of the best IPA's on the market (IMHO) and not too pricey. What's yours?

    If you say anything other than Saga IPA, you're wrong. $12/12pk.

    I know my Minnesota peeps are with me!

    Smuttynose Finest Kind is my go to around here.
    Hoponious Union is pretty awesome too, though not technically an IPA.
    Long Trail's Limbo is also offers an attractive ROI.

    Costs the same as Torpedo around here.
    Or maybe I'm shopping at the wrong beer stores.

    Tough question cuz the good IPAs are always pricey. I like 2 hearted, but can't get it unless I'm in PA or NY. Locally it's Kane's Head High for me. If not I'd go Dirtwolf.

    Stone or Loose Cannon, both of which are like $10/sixer.

    Two-Hearted and Centennial are great too, but they're at the next price point.

    I get SN Torpedo 12ers for $12-$14 around Boston pretty regularly. A solid deal

    This thread was over the second it started for me. Torpedo. $8 a six ($13 a 12 pack), easily obtainable, good shelf life for the style, and a top of the line IPA. It's delicious.

    2 Hearted Ale is $10 a six, $1.75 a bottle how much cheaper vs quality can you get? It dated too, so I'm never fooled by an old shitty ipa that's been sitting for 4 months.

    Limbo and Sucks (when in season). Both go for $9.99 a six pack around here.

    $4.99 for a 22oz Hop Stoopid cannot be beaten

    Shelf life is a key part of Torpedo's allure. When very fresh, I'll take Smuttynose Finest Kind as it's the same price as Torpedo. But Finest Kind falls off fast and Torpedo stays very good for a few months after bottling.
