    Odd13 too. If you look in the ipa thread in the mountain forum it's crazy how far the ipa game has come in CO in such a short time.

    I hate that it only comes around once a year. I drank a whole entire 4 pack of it in 1 day this year. For 2018 I'm going to spend like at least 60 bucks and load up on the stuff.

    Maybe I’m bias but the best ipa I’ve ever had is Maine Beer Company Dinner double ipa or Lunch ipa. Go Maine or go home!

    Add in Comrade to those you've mentioned and I'd be quite happy. All non-local love aside, I get by with the following within a 90 mile radius to scratch most any IPA itch:

    Russian River
    Cellarmaker
    Fieldwork
    Moonraker
    Berryessa

    Augmented with some Modern Times and Revision distro (and sporadic Melvin), and I'm good to go.

    Three Magnets produces great hazy IPAs among other brews. They are a local gem.

    Haze and Julius fresh from Monson were two of the best all time I've had. Not to mention Green and Dopple.

    Locally, I think Electric Jellyfish from Pint House might be my favorite IPA from Texas that I've had.

    Fresh Lone Pint Yellow Rose at the right temperature is the best I have had.

    I've been grabbing random growler fills from comrade on my way home from work. My only wish is that they either package or do crowlers. Sometimes life happens and I don't get a chace to get to that growler. Usually it's flat.

    off the top of my head,

    Todd the Axe man, Surly Brewing. When it's fresh it's so good.
