Red Hook Long Hammer IPA. Similar to Great Divide Titan IPA, in my opinion. I like both of them.

If they did, it couldn't be any worse than that swill called Red Hook that they pass off to all those grunge poseurs in Seattle.

Stone IPA is one of my favorites

I finally had some of the Dogfish Head 60-Minute IPA the other day. It was quite good. Great hop flavor and not over-the-top on bitterness like some American IPAs can be IMO.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that next.

Here's a rarity (http://www.worthingtonswhiteshield.com/frontpage.html) that I'd like to try. Maybe OWA can club together a try and buy a case.

I believe they made it in the 19th century, and only now discovered a lost stash. With IPA being brewed to develop over time and stay fresh for a very long time, this stuff is supposedly still good.

What's IPA?
Sometimes these discussions are like watching Sideways, through a beer mug.

IPA = India Pale Ale.
T'was brewed especially to survive the grueling journey from Limeyland to India during the days of the Raj. At some time in the late 1800s, a ship wrecked off the English coast and the IPA on board was salvaged by the locals. They got a taste of IPA and liked it, so the brewers very sensibly made it available at home.
Bonus booze-related history: tonic water was also a product of the Raj-era. It contains quinine which was believed to help stave off malaria. It was typically mixed with gin, which was believed to help stave off boredom.

And after enough IPA, they're like watching through a beer mug, sideways.

The boys over at the Brooklyn Brewery make a damn fine IPA. Consume with care, though. It will knock you on your ass.

Actually, it was originally brewed right there in England and intended for the long trip to India ... the extra hops served as a preservative. No skunky beer for the East India Company crews!

Correct. The ship wreck I mentioned was outbound to India from Liverpool (IIRC), but it didn't get very far. I wasn't available "domestically" until after that event because the brewers didn't think there would be a market for it at home.

Ahhh ... that makes sense. I should've known better than to question your grasp of history ... especially English beer history.
