    There's none I can get all the time and love. What I love depends on where I am and what's fresh.

    Something I can always get fresh: Alesmith IPA,
    If it was distributed here: Furious or Odell IPA,
    Whenever I see it I buy it: any Alpine IPA, Hoppy B-Day at the top of the list even though it's an APA

    Uinta Hop Notch has been my go-to lately. Fresh and delicious.

    And if I could get fresh Union Jack on a regular basis it would be my other. (And when it's not around, Finest Kind is in the mix as well.) So many tasty ones out there, though...

    Regardless of the style you call it, I'll call it delicious.

    I give mad props to Bell's Two Hearted, it is a nearly perfect IPA imho, and I would be very content if it were the only IPA ever to grace my fridge. It's also fairly reasonably priced, and available year round, and I buy it often ($9.49/6pk). But with that said, the IPA (actually DIPA) that I've always had in my fridge this entire year so far is New Belgium's Rampant - and I've got to say, this beer has grown on me significantly. And at $8.99/6xer and yr round availability (and always fresh at my local shop 1 minute up the road), I Always have this in my fridge.
    *I also rotate the latest Lagunita's products all year long, the Mariano's that is reasonably my house has all of their main stays and seasonal offerings at $8.49 a 6xer, sometimes on sale for $7.99 (= stock up time! - just recently finished up a case of Lil' Sumpin Wild)

    And if we're talking favorites? Well let's just say that my family from Kalamazoo is bringing my 2 cases of Bell's Oracle when they come to stay a few nights next weekend.

    Whatever I haven't tried yet. I very rarely purchase the same beer more than a couple of times a year.

    That "extra" means about as much as Summit Extra Pale Ale, or Guinness Extra Stout...

    It kills me to leave 2H or Odell out.
