Anyone brew a high IBU batch? I just did one that is 262. What hops would you suggest to really kick it up?

Thanks
Graham
 
I really favor magnum for its clean bitterness. Other like warrior. Ps....can't get too hoppy although some beers can get harsh if the correct hops aren't used.
 
Anything past 120 or so IBUs is pointless as you won't notice the difference anymore. That being said though one of my favorite hops for higher IBU counts in my IPAs is Summit. I prefer First Wort Hopping summit over say a 60 minute addition as I find the bitterness to be smoother that way.
