Thanks for the few suggestions. Gonna be honest I'm just starting to enjoy the IPAs recently but enjoy trying any and everything I can get.

That's going to be a really long list.

Start with:
Karbach
Jester King
Buffalo Bayou
Real Ale
...other TX breweries that they might have.

Then move on to:
Firestone Walker
Dogfish Head
Great Divide
Avery

8th Wonder is really good as well. Their IPA Hopston is solid. They have a coffee porter out that I have been wanting to try for a while.

My recent Houston haul. It's summertime, which is why there are more IPAs than stouts.

It's called Rocket Fuel- it's wonderful.

Also, for the person who said Buffalo Bayou, they only keg their beer. At least that's how it was as of a year ago. Haven't seen any botttles/cans of it anywhere ever.

Actually, Buffalo Bayou bottles their beer now(they just started canning as well).

You can only get 8th Wonder and Lone Pint on tap, but you can grab a growler of either of them from Hay Merchant, Petrol, Growlers, or Premium Draught.

BB has been bottling a decent bit of their "secessionist series" for a while now LINK

They just started canning More Cowbell, which is a pretty good double IPA. 16oz cans of 9% ABV and 118 IBU.

8th Wonder's best beer so far. I don't pretend to be a connoisseur of porters, but this is definitely my favorite porter I've ever had. It's superb.

My sister grabbed a bottle of the Lone Pint braggot for me a few weeks ago. It was their second (according the label) in a limited series that they bottle.
