    I am not sure if you get Fat Heads distribution but if you do try Headhunter. It's a single IPA but has as much if not more flavor than most DIPAs. If you have a bottle shop that sells singles, than use this site as a guide and experiment to find out what suites your taste. Bitter bombs or tropical sweeter versions of the style? Maybe both? There are a ton of really good/great DIPAs available to most of us. Welcome to the wonderful world of hops. Enjoy the ride!

    Victory has a couple nice offerings that are pretty easy to come by, Dirtwolf is year round and Hop Ranch is seasonal I think. Enjoy by is nice and fresh and usually readily available. Not quite a DIPA but Jai Alai from Cigar City is probably my favorite all around IPA. Not impossible to get in the southeast. Then there's a whole list of highly sought after, difficult/impossible to get DIPAs that make people on these forums salivate. I have always had the most luck asking friends traveling to areas where these beers are brewed to bring some back with them. Good luck and happy hunting.

    There are a ton of great recs here and I'll echo a few. My go to, all year available DIPAs are Sixpoint Resin, Stone's Ruination (2.0 is rad) and one I haven't seen mentioned but is a solid choice is Firestone Walker's Double Jack.

    As I write this I am drinking a very fresh Ruinten. I would not recommend this as an entry level IIPA (triple IPA according to Stone). i would recommend Ruination 2.0.

    Sixpoint is available in Alabama? Yet not in Western PA! Makes no sense whatsoever if true.

    Never had the juju but the other two are among my very favorites. If they were available year round I would be a happy camper. Fresh sucks is also outstanding. Dipa is my go-to style. Fresh double jack is also top notch
