    This isn't 1998.

    I have to say that I like HD'nR better than FoN too. One's (FoN) a DIPA, though.

    As a New Hampshire beer-fiend I've gotta go for Smuttynose's Finest Kind IPA

    I'd say Ninja Vs Unicorn gets made often enough that you can find it reasonably fresh at all times.

    Also if we are going by regular releases, Square Grouper deserves a nom, or at least Citra Ninja as that comes out several times a year.

    Based on my (limited) experiences:

    FL: Jai Alai
    CT: Gandhi Bot
    VT: Well, damn. Abner? Heady? You almost have to go Heady by default, and I can't really argue with that. Let's just say that picking an IPA from VT is like picking an IPA from CA; good freaking luck.

    Captain Lawrence makes a lovely DIPA that goes largely unnoticed so I am noticing it for you =)
