    What about another one by MBC? From some trade partners they seem to imply that it sits on the shelf (sits might be an exaggeration) while people chase around lunch. I found another as good as lunch or better, but I never get to drink them close enough to really tell.

    Everytime I drink that I like it more and more. Plus, 16oz six packs are awesome. The only problem is it's so I good I drink them like are 12 ozs.

    I've never waited in line or chased a beer truck for an IPA, and don't plan to anytime soon

    For me it's;

    Revolution Anti-Hero
    Smuttynose Finestkind
    Founders Centennial
    Bell's Two Hearted
    Tyranena Bitter Woman
    Tallgrass Ethos
    Great River West Coast Style (local)

    Can walk into my beer store and purchase any of these anytime I want. Hopefully it will stay that way. Case in point, Victory Hop Devil used to be in that rotation, but it hasn't been on the shelves for a few months now.

    It's because they are only sold in NJ with a few exceptions.

    Sadly, never had them. As far as I know they don't distro to VA. I've heard good things about them but can't "endorse" their IPAs without actually trying them first.

    Right, I just thought with how prevalent beer trading is these two beer would have grown in popularity a little. Was at the brewery over the weekend and was told that once the new space is open they are going to start canning them, so im sure they will get more miles on them once that happens.

    Yea, I know what you are saying as Two Hearted is great, but i no way is it the single correct answer. I am pretty sure you know that.
