    While I do love me some RPM those Maine Beers are pretty nice and the Stoneface is no slouch...I honestly dont know which I will like best but I know I am looking forward to it!

    Didn't like Substance all that much. I thought Another One was better than Lunch when I had it last.

    I actually feel the same way about substance and think i feel the same way about lunch and another one but i havent ever had them both in one sitting so i guess we will find out for sure when we do the tasting.

    Wow a west coaster (not you!) saying they prefer west coast IPAs over east coast? Next you'll tell me Vermonters think heady is better than Pliny, say it ain't so!

    True blind tastings take so many preconceived notions out of beer.

    Love me some Boneyard, though prefer a couple of their other offerings over RPM. Still pulling for it, they deserve all the props they get and are worthy of far more.

    Have had all of those you listed except stoneface. RPM is my favorite of that group by a good bit. They are all quality brews though.

    Never had any of them, would go with RPM since it will be the freshest.

    Haven't had the first two. Have had both the MBC beers, and also RPM. Definitely prefer Lunch out of the two MBC offerings. Would be hard to pick between Lunch and RPM - both excellent, but quite different IPAs

    Shameless plug for Bissell Bro. The Substance is an excellent well balanced IPA! Super clean! I've tried Swish, Lux, and Angels w/Filthy Souls all perfect examples of their styles. Still need to try Bucolia and Baby Genius. But I bet they are top notch as well!

    I've never had the offerings mentioned by the OP, except for LUNCH, and it's easily in my top three as far as single IPA's are concerned. With that said, I would love to try the others, but alas, they are non existent in NYC. At least, as far as I know... :slight_frown:

    Another really surprised me and I enjoyed it better than lunch. The substance is awesome as well. I haven't had the other two so I had to go with another one, but now i'll be on the lookout for all of them.

    I too, unfortunately, haven't had the luck to taste all of those. Lunch is fantastic and I wish I could come across it more often.

    Regardless of the outcome I'm sure it'll be a great tasting. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
