    As far as IPA's go, I have been enjoying Alesmith's IPA lately. So solid.

    Societe & Alpine. Almost a crime to have those two breweries in the same county. Did you get to try Roustabout?

    You could easily trade some of that Permanent Funeral (or anything else on your list) for some Pliny :slight_smile:... let me know if you need the hook up.

    I have not had Roustabout. Will have to give it a try.

    For me when after you make the treck up the hill to Alpine, Societe is the natural stop on the way back to I15.
