Glad to see this thread back after the holidays.
If you want to taste some good IPA and Double IPA you can’t go wrong with Lagunitas. Racer5, Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Steelhead, Sierra Nevada Hoptimum are some of my favorite IPAs and Double/Imperial IPAs. No discussion of hoppy brews would be complete without a mention of Pliney the Elder. Your taste buds will never be the same.
I have a terrific IPA recipe I can post if you like.
IPAs can be expensive to brew. If you go that route I would urge you to buy hops in bulk. I just got 3 pounds delivered for 30 bucks. One of the pounds was only 5 bucks!

Having hops on hand really changes the way you brew.
I’m transferring the coffee chocolate stout I made New Years weekend into kegs tomorrow. I can’t wait to tastes it.

Please do!
Unfortunately those brews and brands are not readly available to me - even here in Texas - at least at the stores I visit.
