What's your go-to IPA?

Dogfish Head 90 Minute would be the IPA I would choose if were only aloud 1IPA

 

My fav is Four Winds West Coast IPA from Delta, BC. A close second is Steamworks' Flagship Hazy IPA and also Bomber Brewing's core Pale Ale (when I can find it in the stores-too lazy to go to the brewery).

 

In my ratings here at BA, Two Hearted Ale sits at the top.
A couple of my more recent go-to's have been Furious by Surly and Union Jack by Firestone Walker. I find that Union Jack tastes extremely similar to Elevated by La Cumbre, which is a favorite, but not available in my area.

 

Citra Mellow from Galveston Brewery. If I can't get it I will drink Light Circus by Karback. Both around $9 a six pack of 12oz cans.

 

Ransack The Universe by Collective Arts. The very best IPA I’ve had.

 

Fat Tug from Driftwood Brewing in Victoria, BC. Intensely hopped, 80+ IBUs. Some beers are gratuitously over hopped simply to try and out-hop bomb everyone else, but the boat load of hops in Fat Tug has purpose. Four different finishing hops include loads of Amarillo with Cascade, Centennial and Columbus and for bittering Summit hops are used.
All this balances very well, start to finish, with the robust sweetish malty ale that doesn't hide for a moment under all that tropical fruit, citrussy, resinous hops. Perennially in my top 5 beers of all time. Label says 7% ABV, don't believe it, a few of them can knock you on your ass if your not paying attention.

 

So many good candidates...but I have to say Two Hearted closely followed by Head Hunter.

 

None. I prefer brown ales and porters. Bocks and amber/red ales, too.

 

Bell’s Two Hearted by far.

 

Three heads The Kind!!

 

Currently digging Monument City's 51 Rye IPA and also enjoy Key Brewing's Speed Wobbles (both Baltimore based brewers)

 

Oh that's a tough one. I really like Beere Brewing's "Mental Floss" and the recently added "Jellyfish Magician", a Westcoast-ish Double IPA. Equilibrium also has some great ones.

 

Melvin 2x4.

 

I like to drink local. Two of my favorites from Chicago are Revolution Anti-Hero and BuckleDown Belt & Suspenders

 

Anything that's not "New England", anything without "stone fruit." Troeg's Perpetual, Racer 5, Opa Opa. Ithaca "Flower Power." I'm really missing the IPAs from ten years ago. I also like Sierra Torpedo, though not like the others.

 

Me: All Citra Fresh to Death by Aurora Brewing Company. Unfortunately I don't live near Treehouse but have found 3 solid breweries in Central NY: Aurora, Prison City and Beer Tree.

 

Relax from Offshoot(The Bruery), Fresh Squeezed from Deshutes and Pliny the Elder from Russian River are my faves.

 

+1. I can usually get it within 2 weeks of bottling here in south florida

 

Counterweight Headway is the perfect go to for NEIPA, at least in CT, as it's available just about anywhere, reasonably priced ($11/4pk), and is damn solid.
