What's your favorite IPA? - Page 2

Footbag · 04-30-2009, 11:05 AM

Either Victory or Dogfish 60 minute. But I'll never turn anything down from Sierra Nevada.

My favorite......my own. There are 1001 reasons to homebrew, but you IPA lovers have an extra reason. The ability to dry-hop and bottle(or keg) and drink relatively fresh makes for an amazing IPA. I think this was the reason Pliny was not bottled until recently, had to be pretty fresh to maintain that huge fresh hop aroma and flavor. That, and the ability to put you favorite hops and hop combinations into your brew. I like making larger, later hop additions to get more of the flavor/aroma and less of the bitterness. And it's gotta be fairly dry, high final gravity IPA's

My favorite combo: Amarillo and Simcoe, 30min/15min/Flame-out/DryHop.

Hopbursting ... I like it.

Add CZT in there and you're gold.

Could not agree more. Aside from things like the Bill of Rights and being able to find a public space to smoke in, homebrewing is what I have missed the most since moving to London.

I know it's not an IPA, but I just had my first Mighty Arrow Pale Ale from New Belgium Brewery last night. It was incredible.

HawkEye19 · 04-30-2009, 07:34 PM

I'm having one of the Sam Adams Longshot DIPAs (the Pliny clone). It's tasty, but I'd love to hear someone compare it to the real thing.

BeerAdvocate · 05-01-2009, 05:21 PM

I just had a few Odell IPA. Its going in my Top 3 IPAs!

GarlicBreath · 05-01-2009, 06:04 PM

What about Miller Lite and its "Triple Hops", does that count?

Stick · 05-01-2009, 06:30 PM

Brought home a growler of Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster, it's pretty tasty stuff. If I had to pick a favorite, would likely go with Bell's Two Hearted, also a big Stone Brewing fan.

Bruins Fan · 05-02-2009, 09:00 PM

Harpoon.

cricky101 · 05-02-2009, 09:30 PM

Love the Bell's Two-hearted. The Hopslam is also great when one can find it ... Hop-o-liscious

Tea Bagged Furious, made in Minnesota. College buddy sends it to me from time to time!

I have enjoyed the DFH stuff in the past but ST makes some extreme beers.

JE3146 · 05-19-2009, 11:52 PM

I tasted a fabulous IPA last weekend called Bitter ***** IPA from the Wet Dog Brewing Company of Astoria, OR, but my favorite IPA's would have to be.... Total Dominiation IPA of Ninkasi (Eugene, OR) .... or Pliney the Elder of Russian River (Cali) or... maybe Blue Dot from Hair of the Dog (Portland, OR) or maybe the Blockhead Imperial IPA at Block 15 of Corvallis, OR.. or... or.... yea I could keep going
