    Although tough to get after moving from Mpls, Surly Abrasive (16 Grit) has to be my favorite. As for local MI stuff, I like Two Hearted more than any of the MI doubles. Stone Ruination 10th blew me away too.

    I was lucky enough to place three orders to Merwin Liquors and the Abrasive they sent me was fresh and freakin' awesome. Always thought Pliny would be it for me but there are so many amazing DIPAs out there.
    Dreadnaught as mentioned above, changed my thought process and Hopslam...don't get me started.
    Cheers to Abrasive !

    Enjoy By....

    but

    Saint Arnold Endeavour is a close second for me...

    I wasn't as big of a fan of Palette Wrecker

    There are two types of people. Those who have had Heady and those that haven't.

    I would even throw Ruination out there as one of the ultimate, easily accessible DIPAs. Any love for Maharaja?

    Myrcenary or Boulevard Double-Wide

    Equally fantastic and surprisingly different from one another. I couldn't choose between them.

    Pliny.

    ...And I love the avatar (can't beat Mitchum) but "Night of the Hunter" ... what a terrible film!

    Hopslam without a doubt. Hop Stoopid is also legit.

    Not sure if you'll consider Triple IPA's or other types, but Knee Deep's Simtra Triple is my favorite at the moment. Another favorite is Nebraska's Hop God.
