NC's Best Drinking IPAs/ DIPAs

The 3 that have stood out to me this year have been Highlands new IPA, Burial Vice single hop simcoe, and Burial Massacre Of the Innocents.

 

Pernicious and Jade are my favorites. Consistent and delicious.

 

I think one could make an argument for Wedges's Iron Rail and Pisgah's Greybeard as well.

 

I've enjoyed several of Trophy's other IPAs about as much or more than Death Spiral.

Teacher's Pet
Hop Shake
G'Day IPA

Also think Hop on Top by Lynnwood is great.

 

You could add Highland King MacAlpin to the DIPA list.

 

Second Highland's new IPA. Really delicious, clear bottling date on the label, unbelievable prices as compared to other quality IPAs.

 

Legit list, I agree with pretty much all of them. Highland did a great job on the new IPA.

 

The dipa burial had on around the ww white angel release was soo good. Can't remember the name but it started with an "M". Medusa maybe? Wish that was on more often when I come up to burial!

 

I love some Pernicious..

I also tend to think, and granted I've only had them at the brewery pretty dang fresh, and in bottles that were just done, but Nantahala's NoonDay and 4ft drop are pretty dang refreshing and good.

Now I need to hunt down the new highland everyone is raving for.

 

Did not see this thread, should've posted here.

 

I agree with both of these, but I think since you can't get these in the entire state people sleep on them. I had a keg of Greybeard at my wedding a couple years ago.

 

We should probably add Fonta Flora HopBeard to the list. Definitely a good one. Wasn't a big fan of Wedge's Iron Rail. Haven't had Scythe yet. Freak is always at the top of my list. Heist has one called Orange you Hoppy that's pretty good as well.

 

Hop Beard for sure, good call.

 

Anybody try the Cotton Pickin' IPA from Haw River? Haven't had it yet but pretty much everything they put out has been really tasty, wondering how it stacks up.

 

It was great, but it's a brett IPA and is really funky. A little different than the others mentioned but certainly a good beer.

 

Burial Scythe is my favorite from that list, followed by Pernicious.

 

Close call but Scythe is my favorite.

I'd also add Burial Surf Wax and Nantahala Noonday.

 

I can't recall if I had surf wax at the brewery it not now, but this summer Nantahala got a torpedo from Sierra Nevada and it has made their IPA something awesome

 

Surf Wax is my favorite IPA...favorite DIPA this year is probably Double Hop Beard.
