    Couldn't agree more. I'd also have to throw in Torpedo as well. I can run 2 minutes up the road, one single right hand turn, and pick up Torpedo at my local 7-11. And I do... often. I prefer Two Hearted, but it's more like a 20 minute drive.

    Right now Founders All Day IPA (looking at previous posts it seems I am not alone). Easy to drink, tastes good, can find it at a couple of local stores, comes in a sixer, and ok priced.

    Next would be probably Racer 5.
    Although if I could get Wormtown Be Hoppy in a sixer for a decent price, that would probably be my go to.

    I still have lots and lots to try, so this may change in the future/near future.

    Head hunter. Seriously every time I drink it I'm so happy, for me it's nearly a perfect beer.

    Founders Centennial (it's a constant debate between this and two hearted for me, but I always seem to buy Founders much more)
    Stone IPA (always blows me away and is always available fresh, thanks Stone freshness project)

    Whenever I go to my parents house in Ohio: Head Hunter, White Rajah, and Columbus are always purchased . So those are my side quest IPAs I can't get here. Love all of them

    DIPA - DFH 90 has the best balance
    IPA - Sculpin

    Now... you may discount my choices after I confess my great sin: I really dislike Two-hearted and have no idea why people rave about it.

    Wow, I'm impressed with all the love/respect that Stone IPA is getting in this thread. It seems that most people forget that Stone even does a standard IPA, instead everyone is usually fussing over Ruination.

    I can't get this all the time as it's not distributed in PA but New Belgium's Ranger is delicious.

    Totally wish we could get Jai Alai and Two Hearted up here in Rhode Island, but we don't and I haven't tried either yet. Also, I think that Rhode Island is one of the few states that is missing a world class IPA that is produced in-state.

    With that being said, my 2 favorite readily available IPAs are, Lunch & probably 90 Minute.

    Honorable mention to those who are not readily available like Tree House's Julius which is probably my favorite all time IPA.

    My favourite - HF Susan (but although I had this once in NYC, now this is pretty much limited to when I go to VT, and then, if it's available - a la the Friday before FOFA)
    I buy when it's available - Lunch
    I buy when I feel like an IPA - Flower Power
    I buy when I'm at the in-laws (Miami) - Jai Alai (used to get this in NYC, but not anymore - boo)
