never heard of ipa, where can you get it? as a beer conaseur (not sure of the correct spelling) theres never just 1, so heres a top 5 in no specific order:

1) Sam Adams (fav is the boston lager and cherry wheat)
2) Red Stripe
3) bass ale
4) killians irish red
5) anchor steam (dont know how known this is, a college favorite of mine)

IPA is NOT to be mistaken for pale ale... its much much hoppier jibs, BEWARE!

yes, it's certainly not for a part time beer drinker. Lrn is right tho, they smell, look, and taste delicious!!

I've not had that Dogfish 60minute or 90minute IPA either, and both rank very highly as well.

no offense, but if thats your top 5, you are not a connoisseur

Most decent liquor stores. Most people have Sierra Nevada or Red Hook IPA, both of which are okay, but the smaller breweries are really kicking some ass with IPA. Every city i go to i try and check out the local breweries and get local with the beer. You'll get some fantastic beers you'll never see anywhere else.

Red Hook ESB is the shizzy.

i think i'm just incredibly spoiled because i live in the northwest (the land of microbreweries...)

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

god high school was whatever i could steal from the grocery store i worked at.
back then i didnt discriminate. i took budweiser, bud light, busch, whatever. i didnt develope a love for imports til around 22 when my heineken phase abruptly ended.

no offense, but if thats your top 5, you are most definately not a connoisseur

And i took you for a nancy boy beer drinker Peloquin. That top 5 above isn't very top in MY book either, but hey, to each his own, not going to knock anyone for what they like.

Hook's ESB IS yummy, yes.

pyramind hef is the best kind of hef because its unfiltered. any other hef tastes like shite. (2nd least favorite beer type)

What about Hacker-Pschorr Hefe Weisse... Not sure if it is unfiltered but I love it. There is a beer garden called the Rathskeller in downtown Indy. It is great the few months of the year when the sun is shining and the band is playing and some dude pukes on your shoes. God I can't wait till Spring!!!!!

[peloquin]

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

salmon creek brewpub (vancouver, wa) belgian ale
amnesia brewing (portland, or) esb
rogue dead guy ale (rogueales.com, portland, or)
mac and jacks african amber (somewhere in washington)
alaskan amber
im also a massive fan of any stouts and porters, and i love a stella too
