Most decent liquor stores. Most people have Sierra Nevada or Red Hook IPA, both of which are okay, but the smaller breweries are really kicking some ass with IPA. Every city i go to i try and check out the local breweries and get local with the beer. You'll get some fantastic beers you'll never see anywhere else.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. THEY DO NOT MAKE AN IPA SUCKERS. FUCKING KNOW YOUR BEER YOU CHUMS.

My experience is limited with IPA's, but here in Canada we get Alexander Keith's IPA brewed only in Nova Scotia the last 210 years.

It's the most popular IPA in Canada.

I was just @ the New Belgium Brewery last month. They have some good beers. Love their Belgium Tripel, and the 1554 Black Ale. The Blue Paddle Pilsner is good too. Sunshine Wheat, can't comment, don't like wheat beers. Something about putting fruit in beer i just can't deal with. Fat Tire...meh....i'll live fine if i don't ever have one of those again tho.

They have one called La Folie, aged 3 years. It's shocking. Tastes like vinegar, but somehow, i can't decide if i like it or not...but keep drinking it, and actually, just bought another bottle of it today.

That's cool jenks. The 'rents live in Ft. Collins. New Belgium has some great seasonal beers, I'm not a fan of the sunshine wheat either. Did you at least get a chance to try any or Odell's Cutthroat of 90 Schilling while in CO? My two favs.

The best and most common IPA we get in FL is Great Divide, Flying Dog else Sierra Nevada.

Although I'm more of a stout, porter guy. I really like tabernash and odell. And anything from New Belgiam Brewery (ie Fat Tire & Frambosen). From what I hear, they are building an eastern brewery and soon everyone east of the mississippi will able to get Fat Tire!

From Louisianna... I like Dixie Crimson Voodoo... Blackened Voodoo - or any Abita Brew would be a top choice.

salmon creek brewpub (vancouver, wa) belgian ale
amnesia brewing (portland, or) esb

Shame on you, where's the Widmer stuff? They put out some great brews and its from your neck of the woods.
