Deschuttes Hop in the Dark
Widmer's Black IPA (last year's release, they are supposed to be selling it year round at some point.)

Fell in love with Sublimely the first time I tried it - a local wine bar had it on tap (SWMBO's wine habit can be helpful ). I have brewed two batches of AHS' Cascadian Dark Ale and it is somewhat in the neighborhood but not as hopped up. Next time I will be tweaking the recipe to get a little more hoppiness into it.

+1 on the Deshutes hop in the dark. CASCADIAN DARK ALE!!!!! C'mon

YES, I am biased, but also "Black India Plale ale" makes no sense whatsoever.

Had 2 last night - the Widmers was great - the Blue Point Toxic Sludge was a little harsh.

What if you aren't brewing it with domestic hops, i.e. those not grown in Cascadia? How 'bout Greg Noonan (or his employees) being one of the first to brew the beer style, in Vermont?

India Black Ale

Hey I had to comment on this link. It claims That VPB was the first craft brewery in VT,circa 1988. This is crap. Catamount Brewery was in full effect in at least 1986. Steve Mason started it, he played soccer with us and brought homebrew to games before it was cool. He eventually sponsered our team The Catamount Brewers when I was still in high school. I graduated in 1988.

They eventually sold out to Harpoon

Had a Hop Strike by Tommyknocker today for the first time. AWESOME.

If you can get your hands on a Mountain Standard from Odell Brewing Co., grab it. It is an extremely well made beer, as is just about everything from those guys. Part of their Woodcut series. Not in stores any more that I know of, but we have a couple of really good tap/bottle establishments in Denver that still have some bottles in their lineup.

I just finished a Heavy Seas Black Cannon while waiting for my wing order. Grab one if you see it.

I just had this and wasnt a fan, to many clashing flavors.

Just left Capital Ale House in Midlothian VA and tried a 21st Amendment Back in Back IPA, but didn't notice much in the way of hoppiness. Sublimely Self Righteous is very good, had it at our local Whole Foods which has 8 taps of really awesome brews that change weekly, even had Dogfish Namaste on tap a couple weeks ago(not BIPA I know, but still good). Also enjoyed RJ Rockers Black Perle and Loose Cannons Black IPA.

If you're not in the northeast there's no way you'll be able to get it, but the Pretty Things KK is great too.
