    DC Brau On the Wings of Armageddon or NEBCO Fuzzy Baby Ducks. They both seem to be forgotten when talking about the best DIPA/IPA beers.

    I've had Leviathan and it was pretty good, but too bitter for your average hop head. That's why it doesn't make more waves. By the way, if you like bitter IPA's I would point you towards Tree House Brewing's Curiosity Two. That stuff will put hair on your chest!

    I have no clue what it's distribution outside of Georgia is, but here sweetwater ipa is one of the most ubiquitous beers around, to the point that people who have no clue what craft beer is know they can get a sweetwater. Their 420 extra pale ale is even more common (you can get it at most bars that venture even the slightest bit past BMC) but unfortunately I think it's a pretty weak pale ale. Their IPA, on the other hand, is pretty good.

    I have definitely not had enough beers yet to have a true diamond in the rough (most of the beers I love are rightfully very highly rated on this site), but for my 2 cents Reissdorf Kolsch blows other beers with similar overall scores out of the water (namely Hoegaarden and Oberon off the top of my head). It's quickly becoming one of my go to lighter beers for when I don't feel like having something quite as heavy as an RIS or DIPA.

    Lakefront IPA. Very overlooked by other, more renowned Midwest IPAs like Two Hearted, Founders Centennial, etc.

    IPA's in general never get talked about on BA now days. Not to mention barrel aged beers aren't even brought up in forums.

    Great beer I agree, but their Hefeweizen is absurdly delicious. $8.99 a sixer and widely available. That is all kinds of win.

    Not everywhere. I'm in the Houston area, and I haven't seen it.

    I opened this to say mirror pond. Then I saw the discussion on Red Chair.

    I really liked Red Chair. It's really unique. Tastes like a really interesting ale with a short taste of Fruit Loops or something near the end.
