    Might be a boring question but are ya'll fans of Ranger? What is your favorite everyday IPA available easily?

    I grabbed a 12 of Ranger the other day. Its darn good, forgot how good it was as I hadnt tried it since it first came out a few years ago.

    Other then that, its Torpedo, and currently Celebration. Would be Saga if 12pks where available though.

    Yes, I'd say it is my favorite everyday IPA. Hits all the right notes for me and is an affordable 12-pack. I like it even more than Torpedo.

    Summit Saga all the way. Don't really care for ranger or new Belgium beers to be honest.

    Ranger is nice.
    Big Sky is my everyday. At 7.49 it can't be beat.

    Founders Centennial IPA and Furious are mine. I know its classified as an APA but I think 8-Bit Pale Ale is as close to an IPA as you can get without actually being one, great beer worth all $8 for the 4 pack of 16's.

    While I definitely like me some size 7, it's hard for me to call it an everyday IPA at $5 a bomber which is ~15 a sixer. 12pks of ranger and torpedo can be had for less.

    I tend to favor moderately priced six packs, as I don't ever get bored with them. Stone IPA, Odell IPA, Summit Saga are all in rotation, Surly Furious, Odell Myrcenary, Odell Mountain Standard and both Indeed beers get rotation as well.

    That's a hell of a rotation...can I rent a room that connects to your fridge?

    haha, our apartment is stuffed to the ceiling, but if you find yourself in the cities I will gladly grab a beer with you.

    Summit Saga for me lately. Furious is Old Reliable.

    If I had an "every day IPA" it would probably be Odells. That is probably the IPA I come back to most often.

    Torpedo can't be beat at $12/twelver. That's always stocked in my fridge.

    Others that get cycled through on a regular basis: Odell, Stone, Two Hearted, Furious, and Saga.

    Will typically have at leasat 3-4 different IPAs to choose from.

    "Everyday" should come with a good price tag in my opinion. Summit Saga has quickly become my everyday IPA, and it will be even better when it comes in twelve-packs.

    That would be my thought as well. Im not going to drink a ten dollar six pk as my 'everyday' IPA, but some certainly do. Its going to be tough to change from twelves of Celebration from now until January
