So beer drinkers, it's Saturday... as I sip [gulp] on my Stone Brewing IPA, I'm wondering if y'all have any recommendations on your favorite IPA's.

Weigh in now, while you can still type!

Our ode to the Owens Valley and the Highway 395 corridor, this double IPA is distinctly bolder than our Epic IPA and celebrates the aromas hops, desert sage and mountain juniper. IPA 395 has a unique personality.

The Essentials

Malts: ESB, Crystal, Caramunich and Dark Munich
Hops: Millenium and Centennial
Adjunts: Sage and Juniper Berries
ABV: 8.0%
IBUs: 50
Availability: 12oz, 22oz and draft

This puppy is pretty darn good in my humble estimation.

I was at Stone Brewery Escondido just the other day. Good choice.

For some reason IPA makes my kidneys and bladder go into hyperdrive so I don’t drink it.

It only takes one bottle of Stone’s Double Bastard Ale to make my brain go to idle...

You're a lucky dog. With all these amazing breweries, who say America's dead? Dead drunk, maybe...

Just asked DH — I do not drink or like beer.

Says he:

Stone Ruination from Escondido CA.

OR

Pliney the Elder (says he’s not sure if it’s an IPA OR it might be a triple IPA)

Maybe if I show that photo to DH and the Raven Black label that Chode posted, he’ll take me back to Watkins Glen...One of THE most beautiful areas of the entire country — and we only did a “drive by” unfortunately. I’ve begged to go back for years, it’s a LONG way from California.

Yeah, I think the beer label will do it.

I have a 22 year old DAUGHTER who loves beer!!

Favorite is Lil Sumpin’ from Lauganitas, she told me she visited the brewery over Spring Break.

Here’s a vote for Winston-Salem’s Seeing Double IPA (Foothills Brewing). 9.5% ABV and TASTY.

My first IPA, at Boston Billiards, in the shadow of Fenway... love at first taste.

Actually I probably lead the most boring life of anyone on FR.

I’m still trying to find an IPA I can stomach. I don’t get why anyone would deliberately drink skunky beer.

Firestone Walker IPA

Sierra Nevada— Torpedoes, baby!

[RIGHTWING WACKO FROM MASS.]

Harpoon IPA..the perfect IPA

Skunky is Beck’s, Molson, Moosehead, St. Pauli’s, or anything in a green bottle... IPA’s are heavenly, hoppy, sweetness!
