    Here's my take for the Commonwealth of KY
    • Against the Grain's Citra Ass Down
    • West Sixth IPA

    Are we talking year-round? Or can it be a limited release?

    Because that Liberty Bell Ringer IIPA from Victory (which I believe they brewed for Philly beer week, but it was still around until a couple weeks ago) was seriously awesome. Not at all spicy like Hop Devil, just a ton of citrus and tropical fruit hop flavor, very west coast style. I was really impressed with that stuff. Hopefully they decide to bottle it (or at least make it seasonal/rotating release).

    I don't live in a state, but Ilkley Brewery's Lotus IPA is damn tasty from cask.

    This. And Gold Stock is closer to an IPA than anything else based on what people generally consider an IPA.

    This became a frequent question but I left it pretty wide open as to either a single or double and availability. Was just a general what is your favorite question. Was mostly curious as to what people enjoy most from their own state.

    I love Jai Alai as a staple in my fridge. But White Oak Jai Alai is even better.
    And Pineapple Hop Gun from Funky Buddha is out of this world amazing.

    I see love for Saint Arnold Endeavour in Texas, and a couple of months ago I might have agreed, but now it's gotta be Karbach Hop Delusion.

    Liftoff (IPA) and Rip Cord (IIPA) by Daredevil for me. A close 2nd to Grapefruit Jungle by Sun King.

    I just vacationed in FL and had both of these. PHG is amazing, and one of my favorite all time IPA's. Jai Alai was awesome as well.

    My favorite IPA/DIPA of all time was Permanent Funeral. If we're talking regulars, all the FFF line up is fantastic for Indy.

    IIPA: Dreadnaught/APW/Apocalypse Cow
    IPA: BrooDoo/Zombie Dust (come on, it is)
    APA: Alpha King

    Well LBR is definitely hands-down my favorite IPA that's been brewed in PA, but Weyerbachers Double Simcoe is also pretty spectacular. The Mango Double Simcoe is even better, but only available on tap.

    I'm surprised no one from PA has mentioned Troegs Triple Mango... Seems to have garnered a lot of hype, although I haven't had it.

    Jai Alai and its variations.
    Pineapple Hop Gun is pretty damn close though

    I'd have to go with Weyerbacher Double Simcoe. Like others have said, PA is not known for its IPAs.

    Yes sir! Drank some Head High last night =) The Galaxy Double Dry Hopped version is even better, and Overhead (their DIPA) is also phenomenal!

    I really like all of the IPAs that Olde Hickory and Foothills have put out. Especially Seeing Double, Jade, Death by Hops, and Redeemer. Wicked Weed's DIPA was solid too tho. I'm not sure I can pick a favorite in the state.

    While Head Hunter is good I felt that Bodhi absolutely blew it out of the water! Bodhi is easily top 3 DIPAs I've ever had, and that's including many of the heavy hitters like Abner, Heady Topper, Enjoy By, and Sucks!

    Pennsylvania is known for great IPAs, if only folks had more love and appreciation for East Coast IPAs. I will admit I love the the West's clarity and bite, but the East has it's own song.

    I prefer Epic's Brainless IPA, a Belgian twist. However, no IPA compares to Founder's Centennial IPA out of Grand Rapids. We need to find a way to get GR beers into Utah... legally. Goddamn Mormons.

    Personal taste is objective as we all know. I love me a Heady Topper, however, it would go fourth on my list behind Founder's Centennial IPA, Green Flash's West Coast IPA, and Bell's Two Hearted.

    Probably not the best, but my favorite is Mayflower IPA. My girlfriend's apartment is less than a mile from the brewery, and I get it fresh on the regular. Also, their staff is awesome. My girlfriend and I hung out there for a few hours on a Saturday morning this past February, and had a blast talking to the two girls working there. Great place.
