    Love or hate 'em, India Pale Ales of all varieties currently dominate the craft beer scene and drain wallets dry every day. But today (Aug 4) is a day to celebrate. Why? It's IPA Day!

    So, what's your favorite IPA?

    (Feel free to jump on this same question on our socials too: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram)

    Hoppy IPA Day!

    Comrade Superpower overall
    Lagunitas IPA for something I can drink every day
    Rumble would be my all-time fave if it was still made

    So many good ones, it's hard to pick just one. Especially if IPA's are you favorite style.

    Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale or Fat Heads Head Hunter. If someone offered me a Celebration Ale or a Head Hunter, I would pick Celebration Ale. With it being a seasonal during the fall and winter months the rest of the year my favorite ipa would be Fat Heads Head Hunter.

    If it was cheap and easily available or expensive and rare, my answer would still be Torpedo.

    Most frequently consumed is Light Hearted Ale and it’s not even close. My highest rated IPA is undoubtedly a one off from HOMES. Probably my favorite NEIPA with constant availability would be “The Juice is Loose”; Transient Artisan Ales. Cheers.

    I too loved Rumble, any other oaked IPA that gets distribution?

    Based on what I drink my favorites are
    Yards
    Torpedo
    Two Hearted
    Perpetual
    Celebration

    Given more $ to buy what I want

    Head Hunter
    Sue
    AleSmith
    Lawsons
    Heady
    Focal


    IPA I miss

    Original Columbus IPA
    SN Hop Hunter
    Weyerbacher Double Simcoe
    Mosaic Promise , in 15 packs

    I just started to drink Fiddlehead and see it’s available here now. My guess is it will be too much $ for me to buy. I’m already missing those $3 19.2 cans I had in NY

    I won’t have an IPA today as I’m working quite late and have a 7 hour turn around for Friday.


    Enjoy

    White Oak Jai Alai is the only one I know of. Napa Smith's Hopageddon is a stronger take on the concept, but I don't think they distribute anything very far if at all anymore.
