LOL. I consider your neck of the woods to be anywhere east of Ohio. Silly westerner that I am.
I did enjoy it, despite the $10/4pack cost. Ouch.
The best IPA? I have several in the top tier:
Laconner - Laconner WA
Maritime Imperial - Seattle
Diamond Knot Industrial- Mulkilteo, WA
Bear Creek - Yakima WA
Boundary Bay - Bellingham, WA
Lagunitas - Petaluma, CA
Anchor Liberty Ale - San Francisco (not technically an IPA, but it was the original)
I'll have to put those on my "must try" list.
