    I'm drinking on tree house Julius right now about as fresh as can be...now I haven't had a lot of the "top IPA's" in the best 250, but I can't imagine there is too much out there that can blow this one away

    This is constantly changing for me, but Other Half is making awesome hoppy stuff. Time to slide Green Diamonds in the top list for me. Aside from that Pliny, Nelson, Sculpin, Enjoy By and Peekskill Higher Standard on this list.

    At this point I'd probably go with Modus Hopperandi, La Cumbre Project Dank, and then a new school IPA like Ephraim, Heady, or Superpower.
    If DIPA's count, Backcountry DIPA (aka. Fix Your Heel) > all others)

    Julius is far and away my favorite. I have a Nelson, Double Sunshine and Gandhi Bot in the fridge and I will enjoy "researching" those later today, you know, for science...

    Not fair mixing IPA's and DIPA's.
