What's your favorite?

[suasponte137]

My favorite IPA is the one that gets dumped into the sink.

Torpedo…..

Haha

I like a good beer but I prefer lagers, pilsners, and stouts. I never liked the IPAs.

It’s a tie: Vandyland IPA and Piggyback Rides IPA from Launch Pad Brewery, Aurora CO.

My local hangout.

[suasponte137]

Joking aside...IPAs are like cooking with Cilantro....people either love them or hate them in my experience...with no middle ground

Its just one style of beer I never got taste for....it might actually be the only style i dont have a taster for.

[Paladin2]

Illegals have yet to screw things up there?

[Roadrunner383]

I’m only doing the Non-Alcoholic brews. Athletic Brewing Run Wild IPA and Clausthaler Dry Hopped IPA are my faves. When I was drinking real beer, Sweetwater IPA was my favorite. A lot of American IPAs are overhopped for my taste. I had kind of moved back from IPAs to Pilsners.

I brought a can of Grizzley Paw "Evolution IPA" back from Canmore, Alberta last week and had it last night. My favorite is usually the one I most recently drank. This one was especially fine! Brewed in Canmore in the Canadian Rockies with mountains all around. I think it has to be that Rocky Mountain Spring Water...or maybe the Rocky Mountain Glacier Melt. The spring water a few miles west stinks of sulfur. Maybe that's the secret ingredient.

Wow, I thought Canmore burned to the ground.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Canmore is fine. You’re thinking of Jasper, 200 miles northwest, 3 hours, 30 minutes away by car.

[sevlex]

They’re working on it. Fortunately, the mayor and city council are the polar opposites of Denver.

[BipolarBob]

A local Ozark beer company IPA. Sort of generic. No fancy name just an IPA. I’ll do stouts, an occasional Modelo Negra, Guinness or what ever. Anything but Bud Light or any other tasteless fizzy water stuff.

[suasponte137]

“I like a good beer but I prefer lagers, pilsners, and stouts. “

Same here....but I’d add hefeweizen/Crystalweizens, Trappist ales, Dunkels, German Fess Beers...etc.

And actually the best beer I ever had in my life was something called “Dort” (short for dortmunder)

I had it in a hotel in Belgium...and never saw it again. It was if it came from a Brewery in Heaven.

I prefer a good weissbier with an orange slice. Beautiful on hot summer days. In winter a good Dunkel.
