What's your go-to IPA?

Fresh Squeezed from Deschutes, if its too old I go local, Cape May IPA. Both currently in the fridge

Cape May has this super pungent orange zest aroma to it, taste is very orange forward to, it is super refreshing and has a nice bite.

 

My go to pale ale is daisy cutter. It hits all the ipa notes for me, and is about as much an American pale ale as zombie dust or SNPA. If that doesn't count, the Alpha King.

 

Right now it's Two Hearted from Bell's. It's a solid beer that I can usually find fresh in both cans and bottles, that doesn't break the bank. Very enjoyable.

 

Good question. Don't know why I still haven't got go-to beers, experimenting wildly.

 

This makes me wonder what PP does differently - that this price point is acceptable to them and pays the bills yet other breweries charge $20 / 4 pack. Now if they'd just can Poor Man's DIPA....

 

Beachwood Amalgamator the Gator.

 

I don't have a specific beer, but anything from Sierra Nevada or Bell's.

(I've gotten to the point where I don't even bother with IPAs from anyone else.)

 

Another vote for Bell's Two Hearted. Always available. Always delicious.

 

My Go to that is always solid….

Alien Church from Tired Hands

 

If we can include doubles, my go-to is G-Bot. If limited to just IPA, I'd say Counterweight Headway.

 

Classified as APA ,to me they are IPA. Pseudo Sue and Lizard King, Both nicely priced.

 

Spoiled with so many top notch locals and fresh releases it changes weekly! Westbound & Down IPA has quickly become a favorite since opening their Mill location in Lafayette just down the road.

 

Not necessarily a "go-to," but the year-round standard I have bought the most is Bodem from Half Acre. Delicious.

 

Another vote for Two-Hearted. Hell, you can grab it in most gas stations for cheap these days. Hard to beat the quality too.

 

Right?

If I had to put my feet to the fire, it would be Two Hearted in a second, but yeah -- Powder Day was a great after-Dry January hop-quencher for me -- and Torpedo is a good go-to.

Although, I like Goose Island's and the local from Tighthead, Bear's Choice.

All this from a non-IPA oriented beer drinker, FWTW.

(BTW -- sure wish I could find Anchor Liberty more available... or is that an APA?)

 

I'm in same boat as Todd, I grab either PP Swami's or Revision IPA 6ers depending on whichever is fresher or what store where I'm shopping.

 

Something from Lagunitas.

 

If I had easier access to it then it would have been Heady. But given that I don't, my go to is Sip of Sunshine.

Sure, they are both DIPAs but anyway.

Head High from Kane is another go-to.
