Check Whole Foods (aka Whole Paycheck!) if you have one. In Portland and Seattle hey stocked both Ninkasi Total Domination (my personal favorite) and Tricerahops (an IIPA). Ninkasi Brewing Company
Cheers!
No Whole Foods in Spokane and the "find Ninkasi near you" option yielded nothing. Bummer 'cause it looks like they make some mighty tasty beer. Oh well, thanks a bunch for the info.
Edit: It just occurred to me that I can ask the manager at my LHBS to bring some in. Their always really good when it comes to making special orders for customers.

Deschutes Red Chair IPA is awesome, it just recently went to the top of my list.
+1. The first time I had it was out of a 22 from the grocery store and it was really good. The second time I had it was from the tap at a local bar and holy cow was it awesome! Definitely one of my new favorites.

Shout-out for Meantime IPA. British hops at American IPA bittering levels = Awesome.

I finally tried the Green Flash IIPA last week. unfortunately, it may have ruined all other IPA's for me forever. It's quite possibly the best beer I've ever tasted. I still haven't tried Pliny though. As close as Russian River is, you'd think I could find it in my town, but no.
My brother-in-law lives in Fremont and I guess it is relatively easy to find Pliny there. Pretty much non-existent here in San Diego.
Glad you like the GF IIPA, it is my favorite (just finished a 22!)
Man, I am soooo disappointed. I expected this thread to be be filled with wise-assed interpretations of the IPA acronym. Just like one of those SWMBO threads.

I've known there is a Fremont store listed on their distribution page. I've just not popped over there yet. I will though I need to do the comparison of course.

They don't distribute very far, but next time you are visiting Penn State head to Otto's and hope that they have their Triple D IPA on tap.
"Triple D IPA
Our biggest IPA ever! 75 pounds of hops and 1800 pounds of barley went into making this colossal beer. The hop varieties included Columbus, Amarillo, Centenial, Cascade, and Palisade. ABV 12%"
