I live in New Mexico and I've never been able to try heady topper zombie two hearted or any of these east coast beers that I see people constantly posting about. So if any one wants to trade for some quality southwest beers, I have lots of great breweries around here including marble, Santa Fe, ska, steam works and a bunch of other ones too. Just hit me up!
 
I need to try Great Lakes Alchemy. I just had Lawson's Finest Liquid Triple Hop, wow. If there's anyway you can get your hands on anything from that brewery, do not hesitate.

Hill Farmstead was kind of a letdown, but I didnt try to their best IPAs.

Funny how zombie dust always pops up on here, but technically it's an APA, not an IPA. Don't shoot the messenger.
 
I'm still diversifying my palate, but so far:
1) Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
2) 3HB Too Kind
3) Maine Beer Co. Lunch
 
3 is so few.

Ruination
Cigar City Jai Lai Cedar Aged
Pliny
Green Flash
Chain Breaker
Drake's Denogginizer
Southern Tier Unearthly
The original Lagunitas Sucks


Haven't had any Bells:(
 
I have two new ones to add to my list!

Prost brewing - Dank IPA, it's so thick and resinous that I almost didn't like it at first but by the end I was sold on it.

Le Cumbre - Elevated IPA, a solid, delicious New Mexican IPA that was tasty from start to finish.
 
Elder, Hop Slam (not this year) and Alchemy Hour

Interesting, I thought maybe it was just me who didn't care for this year's hopslam as much. I had a 4-pack of Founders double trouble last week and I think it edges out hopslam in my book for the first time.

In other updates, I bought a case of Columbus IPA from Columbus Brewing Co. on my recent trip to Columbus, OH. Just like last year, it did not disappoint. Also tried a few new (to me) IPAs that I would rank quite high: Uinta Hop Notch and Fat Head's Headhunter. Both very very good. I'd put Hop Notch in my top three.
