New to Ohio (2015)

Forget HH and JuJu, for me it's now IBUsive and Super Juicy JuJu.

 

White Rajah & El Lupulo Libré >>>

But obviously this just comes down to preference, because FH and CBC both have incredible dynamic duos as well.. you can't go wrong with either of the three..

 

For me HH > C IPA and Bodhi > Hop Juju
I liked the first two batches of Juju (The GABF winning one and the first bottle run) however I have not been impressed with any other batch they have put out since.
I would add Rajah and Lupelo to the mix. That may be my favorite single/double combo in Ohio.

 

Commodore Perry and Chillwave

 

Can't tell if this is a serious post or not lol.

 

Head Hunter and Hop Juju...though I honestly have to call Mike's JAFB suggestion a VERY close second. Rain Delay and New Stunt are wonderful.

Also, I'd like to nominate Rhinegeist Truth and Saber Tooth Tiger and MadTree PsycHOPathy and Citra High.

We really are spoiled in Ohio. What's that overpriced brewery bringing boring and balanced IPA's to Ohio again?

 

Still think Another One and Dinner may be the best combo I've ever had if your talking nationwide and from the same place.

 

Many of the hyped-up IPA's around the country don't live up to expectations when we are so spoiled here (Triple Sunshine is the epitome of this for me). However, Dinner is absolutely worth it. Incredible.

 

I'm about as big of a CBC homer there is, but I would probably do HH/HJ

I think Bodhi is the best one of the bunch, but I also think CIPA is the "worst" of the bunch. I guess at that point, I think there's a greater gap between CIPA/HH than there is Bodhi/Hop Juju.

Can we use GABF rules where Bodhi is an American IPA and Creeper is a DIPA? Because then I would take that tag team, hands down.

 

Of those listed (CBC, FH, BK), I would probably put Fat Head's at the bottom and may pick Hoof Hearted (Musk and South of Eleven) first. However, and not sure on exact classification, if you use Hop Stalker and Jungle Juice Head Hunter, that would definitely be #1.

 

Would agree with Bodhi and Creeper best single double by GABF rules.

 

When is Hop Stalker? Couldn't remember if it was Sept or Oct. Aren't they bottling it?

 

I'm fairly certain it was released during Cleveland Beer Week last year, so early-mid October.

 

A few weeks after when the overnight shipment of wet hops from the harvest comes in. Mother nature would have a better answer at this point. Last year I believe it was October.

 

Musk and Roller Blabe. Close 2nd is Head Hunter and Juju (or IBUsive). I've actually only had IBUsive in Portland, and it was awesome. Wonder how it differed from this new OH batch with Mosaic.

 

^ this weekend! hope it's as good as last summer
