Tap only right now. They have plans to bottle/can in the future. The Dreamcrusher may be my #1 DIPA right now. It is actually a Rye DIPA but the rye is very subtle. Not at all like a Hop Rod Rye which beats you over the head with the rye maltiness.

Maybe. I don't know if Franconia bottles or not.

I'm not good with these lists so I won't bother but I had this one for the first time last week and didn't think it was anything above and beyond any other IPAs that I've had.

I had an all simcoe IPA from Russian River at the same bar and thought it was pretty awesome.
PTE is up there.
Bell's Hopslam is up there.
Some of the mikkellers are up there.
Depending on the day Racer 5 is up there along with Ruination and Plain ole Stone IPA.

Agreed.

Pliny The Elder
Sierra Nevada Hoptimum (just because it's fresh in my mind...)

Agreed. I was thoroughly disappointed in the Sculpin given all the hype. Its good but there are way better.

think of every IPA youve had, and imagine them sitting in front of you, all at the same time.

Which do you grab first, then next, then next...

it's a bitch to narrow it down, that's for sure

I'd blow my Hop-Receptors out, kid!

I definately think the Black IPAs, Rye, etc. would have to be in a different group.
