its not a bad list, would have been cool to see 2nd & 3rd's
but we all know these lists are always subjective. It is all a matter of opinion of what YOU like.
but reading it i noticed that about a 1/4 of the list was IPA's so with freshness being key
my question is how long after the bottling date would you purchase an IPA?

Well obviously. I found this list more in line with my thinking.

Most top American beer lists lean heavily towards IPAs and higher gravity stouts/porters. Rarity gets you a few points in high demand markets. You'd be hard pressed to find most of those beers taking up shelf space.

Hops or roasty grains + alcohol - supply = high score

I'd purchase and drink within 3 months of the date.

I think 5/6 months is the shelf life for most IPA's before they start turning.

Pet peave is breweries that don't date the bottles. For this reason, I drink very few bottled IPAs. Many of the small breweries in Oregon don't date their bottles. I'm pretty selective about where I buy beer. Even on draft, I go to places that have a high turnover rate on their beer. I've been burned when I've ordered an IPA in a restaurant and either it wasn't fresh, or they had not cleaned their tap lines.

Same with bottles. Don't buy an IPA from a gas station...
