IPAs - For a newbie

So, I am slowly getting into enjoying IPA's. I enjoy Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but haven't expanded my horizons. Now I turn to the F&DB brethren to guide me in my newfound exploration of IPA's. So, what you got? Thanks guys

This really is the most important question.

True that. Baton Rouge...I have been buying fro Calandro's mostly.

If the response is Oregon or NorCal, somebody's getting hurt.

Welp, there you go. I think Stone IPA is the gold standard for west coast style IPAs. If you want local/slightly less hoppy and local, get NOLA Hopitoulas

I'd say Heady Topper has the slight edge over several other top contenders. Although, I'd like to do more research.

Being in college, don't think I will make it to CA anytime soon. What part of Texas you from? I grew up in Lubbock and have family spread out in TX and make it over there a few times a year. Name some TX beers I should try that aren't available in LA...again, I am new to exploring my beers. I love Belgians, but want to expand my tastes. Thanks for the input

Lots and lots of Texas beers these days.
Jester King
St. Arnold's
Southern Star
Karbach
No Label
Independence
Deep Ellum
(512)
Live Oak
Real Ale
Rahr and Sons
Etc
I'm near Lufkin, way out in the sticks

Full Sail iPA is the one got me into IPAs. It's not a hop bomb like some others and I although its brewed in Oregon, it uses English malts and hops. My favorites right now, that are available at my local store, is Bear Republic Racer 5, Brooklyn East India and Deep Ellum IPA.

I'm partial to Sweetwater IPAs. Excellent aroma
