dogfish head 90 min IPA
old rasputin russian imperial stout
lagunitas IPA
port brewing wipeout IPA
stone IPA

You may not be able to get it down in s.ca. but Russian River's Pliney The Elder IIPA is one of my favorites.

Don't know if it has made it to California....but if it's from Colorado and is distributed in the SE, I'd think it would. You should try Great Divide beer at some point. None of their hoppy styles seem to skimp on the hops! Their double IPA even has dry hop right in the bottle.

Bell's Two Hearted is Great and bittingly hoppy.

If you can find it, Founder's Centennial IPA is another fantastic one.

Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman

I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew

Go Thermonuclear with the hops and try to find Avery's Maharaja. For some reason I want to say 145 IBU's. After a sampling at brewclub meeting, had hoppy pee all the next day.

i might just have to make this a 12 pack...

on a semi-related note i was told that the human palate cannot distinguish over a certain IBU.... is this true?
