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.

My favorite 3 are whatever one I currently have on tap. That would be Stone IPA at the moment. Honestly, I do not think I have ever met an IPA that I hated.

 

[histo320]

You are asking me to only name 3? I think I may have to make a bracket and drink all of the IPA's I love to actually find the best.

3. Surly - Furious
2. Revolution - Anti-Hero IPA
1. Stone - Ruination IPA

Honorable Mentions - Stone IPA, Bell's Two Hearted, Southern Tier 2xIPA, Oskar Blues Gubna.
