    There seems to be no end to the proliferation of new IPAs. No doubt a reflection of America's love of hops. But three new - maybe new for me - IPAs that I've discovered and really enjoyed lately are:
    • Troeg's Perpetual IPA
    • Sierra Nevada Hop Hunter
    • Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin
    The top two are quite probably my favorites and Go-To IPAs these days. What are some of the newer IPAs that you have recently discovered and really liked?

    At first I thought this was going to be a thread complaining about not being able to find fresh Stone Go-To IPA. :grinning:

    Now that it's more available, and in 4pk cans, I go with Block 15 Sticky Hands on a regular basis.

    Yup Grapefruit Sculpin for sure. I also have been drinking Hop Hunter, Funk Citrus IPA and will be drinking in the future Victory Vital IPA more.

    I think this might be more of a pale ale but Ive been buying the crap out of NB's Slow Ride.

    Sculpin in general is too overpriced to be a Go To. Mother Earth Boo Koo and Hop Diggity are both awesome and no more than $12 a sixer.

    Our house IPA is Perpetual. We like to keep Heavy Lifting, Union Jack or Jacks Abbey Mass Rising DIPL as a backup.

    Now that it's available in six packs, I see myself picking up Alesmith IPA a whole lot more now. That is one tasty beer.

    One that I discovered recently is Kulshan Brewing's Bastard Kat.
    And then there's Uinta's Hop Nosh. And also lately I've gone back to Ranger IPA, which I had almost forgotten about!
    All 3 of these can be found for $9 or 10 bucks, which makes them great choices as "go-to" IPA's. :^)

    One of my newer go-to IPAs local here has been Newburyport Greenhead IPA. Very solid, not hyped, canned 6-pack that I've been finding fresh in MA

    The new Avery Raja in 12oz cans is pretty fantastic. One of the best new "shelf" beers I've had in 2015. I can see myself buying it quite a bit if its around consistently. I'm not sure what the production schedule of that beer is though.

    I would add Sip of Sunshine if I had the opportunity to buy more than 1 4- pack every 6 weeks or so.

    Did not know that. We just started getting their bombers last month. How much is a sixer of IPA?
