    Hop Stoopid. Cheap but tasty!

    $5 bombers are cheap? That's equivalent to a $15+ sixer.

    Have everyone bring a bomber of their choosing and do a bottle share.

    Two Hearted here as well. My co-worker who "doesn't even like beer" tried one at a poker game i held and now drinks it when he drinks beer.

    I really don't get the love for Torpedo, it's so average to me.

    Another one I have found that people who don't identify as IPA likers seem to do well with is Victory HopDevil (more malty), so that would be on my radar.

    Not an IPA, but Lagunitas New Dogtown Pale would do it for me.

    I wasn't really speaking of my location, but a hypothetical for BAs in general, so Flower Power is in the mix.

    I gotta go with either SN Torpedo, Harpoon IPA, Racer 5, or Alesmith IPA. All solid options IMO.

    I love IPA's, but lemme tell y'all. Redhook is to be avoided. Seriously.

    Firestone Walker IPA or Lagunitas IPA. Both are amazing, well balanced, and not too over the top hoppy. I have converted a number of people with these beers.

    Zombie Dust...FTW. It's not an IPA but it's better than all of the above. Don't like it? Rub some dirt on it.

    C-bus ipa is good when you can get it, which means around central OH or fantasy land, whichever you call home.
    Hop Stoopid is available in most locals and is a fair price for the hops.

    I picked up a six at Heinen's Strongsville today; looked like they had a few cases. I'm not ripping you or anything, I just don't think Hop Stoopid is cheap... it's in the Sculpin area, price wise.

    Hypothetical as mentioned, I agree with Flower Power and or Surly Furious. Practically, Two Hearted.
