    I bet it was the Red Hook in '91-'92, then; Bridgeport didn't make the IPA until a few years later.

    I'd say Great Lakes Commodore Perry, but Stone IPA is really the one that got me hooked..

    Stone IPA about 10 years ago I think. Had me hooked from there.

    I would have to say it was Saranac IPA which led to Dundee IPA which led to Dogfish head 60 and 90 min. IPA...and so on.

    My wife liked IPAs long before I did. She brought home a case of Dale's Pale Ale and it was something I could drink. My neighbor said "Hell, if you can drink Dale's, you can drink anything" and gave me a Lagunitas Sucks. Dale's got me there, Sucks sealed the deal. I'm a total addict now.

    Same here. First tried it at The Eccentric, and was blown away. Haven't seen it on tap down here, but TW has 6 packs year round.
