I would disagree about Lagunitas IPA being iconic...
Hi all,
I will be in the states (NJ) soon and was hoping to try out some of the great beers made in the USA. Can anyone recommend some great beers to try out while I am there?
Thanks in advance!
Yeah I know the question is a bit open ended but it's on purpose. I've just recently started exploring beers so I want to try out as much as I can and I'm open to tasting all styles. But since I am going to USA I of course want to try out the domestic/local beers.Haha... it's sorta like asking "can you recommend me a good book?". There's just waaaaay too much to choose from. Where in NJ are you going to be? That could effect what is available to you.

Being iconic in Nor. Cal. does not make it an iconic beer for the US. In fact, I would say Stone IPA would be a better west coast IPA icon and Dogfish Head 60 minute (has to be very fresh, within a month of bottling) would be the ubiquitous east coast IPA.
Reallly? I know they just became available in Chicago within the past month but I seriously can't go in to a store without seeing stone. I can actually grab a 6-pack of Ruination while grocery shopping.I have lived in a couple of states, and I've still never seen Stone in a store, so I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with Stone being iconic.
Also, I think DFH 60 minute is terribly overrated, and not even in the top half of IPAs available.
I don't think I can go into any place that sells beer and NOT see stone.
wont happen. they dont ship hoppy beers eastTravel in to Philadelphia and try to find a bar with Pliny the Elder on tap.

Some pliny got caught up in that infamous beer raid a few weeks ago.

Also, 60 Minute fades fast and most people don't look at the bottled on dates. It really needs to be drank within a month of bottling. I won't order on draft because I don't know how old the kegs are.
