    Love Geary's just found a lil quick stop place in Lorain, Ohio that has been getting sixers of their IPA, I hope that's a sign of things to come.

    I have to say Sierra Nevada, need to try more pale ales. Problem is most to my palate are closer to IPA than APA, which for me just keeps me from trying more because I don't want an IPA if I'm thinking APA AND I don't want a session IPA when I want an APA, got that?

    Need to try; Dale's Pale Ale
    Need to return; Burning River...always been a lil too bitter for me to have more than one in a sitting.
    Whale; Zombie Dust & Alpha King

    Sierra Nevada and Dale's. These are the better ones that are easy for me to get.

    Not sure if this in the pale ale category, but taste wise, it sure seems like one. My new favorite is Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp Hoppy Lager.

    From strictly a local point of view, One Claw is a great beer, not over the top with the hops but IMO it's a better hoppy beer than their IPA.

    It would be nice if there was a quick way to tell if you've already posted on a thread or not, because, I've found as I've gotten older, remembering becomes a (I can't remember the rest)

    Toppling Goliath pseudoSue
    Three Floyds Zombie Dust

    Hard to pick a favorite from those 3, but, they aren't readily available here. So, my favorite pale ale is:

    Deschute's Mirror Pond, SNPA, and Ale Asylum Hopalicious

    I love the glass!!! The ale is probably also very good as I've never tried it. My fav all time IPA is Garrison's IPA Nova Scotia Can.

    Ruination (Stone Brewery I believe) is a very good IPA also. Hard to get here in Canada. When in the US, its the ale I look for.

    Maine MO and Peeper for me. One is juicy, one is dank, and both are super enjoyable. It helps that we get them fresh here in Massachusetts.
