I really like stouts and ipa's. Goose island brewery makes a good ipa, sierra nevada ipa is alright. To many more to think of. I just recomment if you can buy singles of different ipa's until you find one you like.

check out Bell's beer, it's from a brewery in Kalamazoo Michigan. They make the best IPAs in my opinion.

Hey guys, looks like I stumbled upon this thread a little late. Let me cut to the chase here:

Dogfishhead - this is great stuff, haven't had it in a long time though..

if you are in the Midwest, check out Bell's beer, it's from a brewery in Kalamazoo Michigan. They make the best IPAs in my opinion... The best of which is called

Bell's Two Hearted Ale - this is what the OP wanted, it is some awesome IPA, and it will knock your socks off or whatever he said... it is great stuff.
they also make an awesome beer called Bell's Best Brown Ale

If you are in San Diego or LA, get the Stone Brewery's

Stone IPA - very good stuff.

If you want to get more messed up, get the Double IPA, the strongest IPA I have ever had, hop wise. If you want the thickest bear, get their Double Bastard Ale. My friend described it as tasting like syrup, it is so thick. The also make a bear every year called Vertical Epic, and it is their best beer in my opinion, comparable to the Bell's Two Hearted.

that's all I got!

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

the 120 didn't get so hot reviews. but i'd still try it on my own.

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

You should be able to get it at a good store. They are growing very fast. From Delaware.
They also make a 120 minute IPA which I havent' tried. Also a stout that is like $6 a bottle.

[Jenks]

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

One of the best IPA's in a bottle. (Dogfishhead 60 minute IPA)

^^^THAT'S THE ONE!! received some awesome reviews on beeradvocate. My mouth watered just reading them. Gotta figure a way to get some of that here.

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

dunno, havent had it. but i am usually not a fan of hef, so probably not

Well if you like Pyramid you should definitly give it a shot for a change. Hefe are not my favorite either.

One of my favorite beers is Kalik from the bahamas. It is probably crap but I had so much fun when I was 17 in Nassau that everytime I can get my hands on it, I do!

I guess if I was to put up a top 5 it would include:

1.) Amstel Light ( when looking for something easy to drink and better then domestics)
2.) McCaffrey's Ale
3.) Sam Adams Winter Lager
4.) Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout
5.) Sam Adams October fest
