    I'll second the suggestion for Thornbridge Jaipur. Also, the Nogne, Omnipollo and To Ol mentions are spot-on. The only overseas IPA I've yet to see mentioned that I really like is Epic Armageddon.

    You wouldn't consider Buxton, Thornbridge or Beavertown world class then, or able to put theirs up against any IPA from the US?

    By "world class" I mean a Sculpin/Two-Hearted/Pliny quality of IPA.

    So, yes, I concede on Thornbridge. Kipling is fantastic, Wild Raven is one of the best CDAs I've had, even Ashford is a top India Brown.
    Halcyon I didn't care for, and Jaipur amazed people when it came out more because that level of hopping was novel back then.
    Still, Thornbridge hit more often then they miss.

    As for the other two, Nth Cloud is great but I find Buxton's other IPAs a bit lightweight.
    And Neck Oil is pretty punchy but Beavertown pull their punches when it comes to hopping their bigger beers in favour of drinkability.
    Both very good breweries, but we're lucky enough to enjoy loads of merely very good breweries these days.

    Man, some of you guys have been reading my mind! I haven't been able to locate many of these suggestions. Does anyone know if there are any online beer places that I can order Omnipollo and Epic's Hop Zombie from?? As well as some of the other wonderful suggestions???:astonished:

    I could be wrong, but I think Epic Hop Zombie may be a seasonal release? Either that or it hits my store sporadically. Got burned bad with an old bottle once. I don't remember seeing a bottle date on it. When it's fresh, it's honestly top 2 or 3 DIPAs I've ever had. Looks like Craft Shack carries it but it's currently out of stock: http://craftshack.com/products/epic-hop-zombie-double-ipa

    Update - Had me a Brew Dog Punk IPA. Although the ratings on this brew aren't too high, it was awesome! Very unique tropical fruit backbone on this beer! Now, it's time to locate some of Mikkeller and Omnipollo's IPA's.
