Everything I ever had from Triumph was just so watered down I personally wouldn't call them good.
I'd agree with the Magic Hat comment. I haven't had enough Flying Dog / Brooklyn to really comment. Have you not tried Golden Monkey from Victory? The DFH 60 minute, Palo Santo, World Wide Stout, are all pretty good. What don't you like about Victory/DFH?
I just had a few Victory HopDevil IPAs this weekend. I fell in love with this beer many years ago when IPAs were new to this country. Now all these years later, I still think it's outstanding!Victory beers all taste horrendous. I don't know why but they all taste like dirty swamp water. Golden Monkey could not go down the drain fast enough.
DFH - beers are either way, way too sweet or just lacked great flavor. I recently tried red and blue, thinking maybe tart fruit would help balance it out. It was sweeter than Kool Aid. It made the Lindeman's fruit beers seem balanced.

Yes, I'm sure IPA was brewed in America in the distant past.Not to nitpick, but I think the USA brewed beer labeled IPA as far back as the 1800's and contemporary renditions could go as far back as the 1960's. I assume you're talking about the early 1990's though.
Hopdevil is certainly delicious!

When I started extract brewing 21 years ago, I couldn't go into a local liquor store in Delaware and buy anything other than a mass-produced light lager. I used to go on club road trips to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Stoudt's in PA to find craft beer. I don't remember drinking any IPA's back then. But when Victory began brewing in 1996, Hop Devil is the beer I remember. Loved it then and love it now.
Brew Pubs though, I enjoy my local Iron Hill (Chestnut Hill, Paul is doing an amazing job there)
