    Headhunter from Fatheads in Pittsburgh is one that never makes it out of the local area that is certainly worthy if you ever get the chance.

    Hop JuJu, Heady Topper, and Abrasive are probably my favorite DIPA's.

    With IBUsive and Alchemy Hour as close runners up.

    There are so many good IPAs and DIPAs. Just as someone previously mentioned, this is highly subjective. With this said, I will keep my picks local (I am from Utah): Uinta Brewery's Hop Nosh IPA, Red Rock's DIPA ( a local SLC favorite), and Squatter's Hop Rising.

    1) Ruthless Rye.. i know its a rye ipa.. but the list does say top 3 ipa's and beer advocate labels it an american ipa
    2) Finest Kind by smuttynose.. this beer is outstanding.. and is in my top 5 of beers..
    3) Crooked Tree by Dark horse.. this beer is delicious

    A lot of people would love to be in the florida distro. Stock up on CCB and you'll be good to go. I can get Hopslam, Sucks, Dirtwolf, Head Hunter, Hop Juju, Chillwave, etc…and I do love me some CCB jai alai variants.
