Top 3 IPAs

The best DIPAs in the country come out of Ohio. Don't just take my word for it, either. Ohio is pulling down medals in IPAs/DIPAs in national competitions.
El Lupulo Libre
Hop JuJu
Bodhi
I've had ultra fresh Pliny and each of those that I mentioned are better, in my opinion.
For normal IPAs Head Hunter is hard to beat.

 

Heady, Hop JuJu, and dare i say, jai alai. I love jai alai fresh

 

Personal favorite DIPAs:
1. Russian River Pliny the Elder
2. Lagunita's Sucks
3. Victory Dirtwolf
And special mentions to Flying Fish Exit 16, Victory Hop Ranch, Southern Tier Unearthly AND 2xIPA, Avery Maharajah, Yards IPA and Troegs Perpetual. I love IPAs so much.

Pliny
Stone Enjoy By 2-14-14
Deschutes Fresh Squeezed

Honorable mention goes to Ballast Point Sculpin and I'm a sucker for Gold Nectar from Humboldt.... Also Hangar 24's DPA is great as is Port Brewing's Mongo.

 

I was not a big fan of IPAs until I had the following:

PtY/PtE
Enjoy By
Hopslam

HM: Nelson

Would love to try the Vermont IPAs and Maine Beer Co. (Another One is in the mail)

 

How can you put heady on there if you haven't tried it?

 

I haven't had a ton but so far my favorites are

Double Jack
Sculpin
Rampant

 

I totally agree with this although Society and Solitude is real close. One note on Dirtwolf-it is also close as well as a number of others, but for the money at least here in New Jersey it is far and away the best buy on the beer market. For a beer that fantastic to be that cheap-$7.99 for a four pack in certain stores-well you can fill in the blanks.My hat is off to you Ron Kovaleski-thank you for this gift of god.

 

1. Heady
2. Pliny
