    I already have a 4 pack of Double Trouble for the weekend but I want more. I've never had any of these (I usually go for DIPAs over IPAs):
    Great Divide Hercules Double IPA
    Stone IPA
    Founder's All Day IPA
    Lagunitas IPA
    Lagunitas Maximus
    Bell's Two Hearted
    Moylan's Hopsickle

    For a Founders theme grab some All Day. Plus it will be a nice contrast ABV-wise, and you'll stay on your feet a bit longer.

    Another vote for Two Hearted. It is a pretty unique IPA and so tasty.

    Out of the 3 I've had (Stone, Lagunitas IPA, and Maximus) you can't go wrong with any of them, all delicious. My favorite out of the 3 woudl be Maximus though.

    I'd go with something light to break up those Double Troubles, so All Day IPA would be my pick.

    They're all good so as long as you have access to all of them all of the time, I would base my decision on price. If any are not available all of the time, I'd go for the one you can't get all the time. Also they all have different ABVs so that would be a factor in my decision as well.

    Two hearted is a classic--must-buy. I wish I could get it in MA.

    I *should* be a homer for the Great Divide, but of those I'd go with Stone. It's a classic.

    Two Hearted, duh. Though check the date, I've seen some 2012 stuff floating around my neck of the woods lately

    Out of that list, Two Hearted would be a no brainer for me.

    Two Hearted, not close.

    All Day tastes watered down.
    Lagunitas IPA and Maximus and also Stone IPA are very good IPAs ... but Two Hearted wins.

    I'm a big fan of Hercules and if you go for DIPA's, then you can't go wrong with that. It's just a wonderful, big beer.
