    Looking for a good bottle shop to go to Feb 8th. Looks like Beer Revolution will have a Sierra Nevada tap takeover and not a huge fan of their beers. I am looking for a place where I can taste a lot of the local IPAs. any advice is appreciated.

    Beer Revolution would typically be your place, but there are a number of options. I'd check with these places to make sure they aren't having any special events for Beer Week, but they usually have solid IPA offerings:

    Bars:
    Hog's Apothecary (Temescal neighborhood)
    Ben & Nick's (Rockridge)
    Barclay's (Rockridge)
    Cato's (Piedmont Avenue)

    If by bottle shop, you mean a place to consume on premise, there's Trappist Provisions in Rockridge, though not usually a very IPA-heavy line-up. Just to purchase bottles, can't beat Berkeley Bowl a town over.

    The Double IPA beer fest is taking place that day in nearby Hayward as part of Beer Week. Tons of events in the East Bay and SF...

    Cheers!

    Definitely a great new spot, but the OP isn't likely to find any local IPAs there. Trappist is nearby, but more of a Belgian spot. I'm going for the first time this Friday, so I can't comment first-hand, but Pacific Coast Brewing's guest tap list might have what you're looking for and is close to Beer Rev.

    Drakes isn't too far and has IPAs.
