Who likes the hoppy hop of the IPA??

Which ones have you tried and can recommend?

Just got home and am drinking a Thunderhead, which is decent, but i'm looking for one that knocks your socks off.

Lrn, there is a brewery in CA called ALPINE, which doesn't ship or serve anywhere else except CA to my knowledge, but their APA ranks high on beeradvocate.com, and i've heard others rave about their beers. Ever had anything from them?

And yes, Thunderhead is my favorite IPA at the moment. But i change "favorite beer" like i change my underware, every few weeks.

IPA is NOT to be mistaken for pale ale... its much much hoppier jibs, BEWARE!

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't IPA invented by accident? In the early days trying to get beer to india and keeping it fresh required tons of hops, and thus, the IPA was born?

Or did that guy lie to me at the brewery in CO? I bought it hook line and sinker.

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

India Pale Ale (IPA, also known as Imperial Pale Ale), is a distinct style of beer and is characterized as a sparkling pale ale with a high level of alcohol (5.5% to 6.3% by volume) and hops, thus having an increased bitterness (typically 35-48 on the IBU scale). The creation of India Pale Ale (IPA) during the early 1700's was the result of tremendous efforts by British brewers to overcome a difficult problem: during the 1700's beer did not keep well on long ocean voyages, especially into hot climates. These hot environments resulted in the arrival of flat, sour beer.
