I enjoy Jai Alai, but I think Green Bench Sunshine City takes the number 1 spot for me in Florida.

Myrcenary double IPA from Odell is better I think. They do a good job with that. Also, Dogfish 90 minute IPA is in the fridge for tonight. Such a good beer.

I was a little surprised it beat out Trillium, but I love Treehouse. They're even a pain in the arse to get your hands on if you live in MA - you're still resigned to driving out to the brewery (about 1 1/2 hours from Boston) and standing in line, but it's worth it.

Dogfish Namaste is legit as well


Plus I drank it with an Indian guy, so I got the full experience

Agreed.

I have a guy that lives a block from the brewery though. I've offered him Parish for trillium.

He just sends me trillium though. lol

Pretty nice list, though there's a few other IPAs/DIPAs out of CA that have surpassed Pliny for me.

I never by Odel IPAs. Been pretty underwhelmed when I've tried them.

Since Brash and Whole Foods only sell their hops from draft or crowler, then yeah, best you can buy off the grocery shelf.

Tennessee may or may not be correct. Tough to say as we have a pretty shitty IPA selection. Hopefully the new laws going on the books starting Jan. 1 will help with our weak IPA selection.

I've been enjoying Bearded Iris Scatterbrain IPA lately.

Boring IPA made for people that don't like hops. Dankosaurus, Community Mosaic, Stash (new recipe) even Deep Ellum IPA are all better.

Great choice. I had a six pack on Tuesday night for the Blue Jackets hockey game.
