Beer lovers of the site, go grab yourselves a Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA. Absolutly delicious brew. I bought mine in NY, but its available in Hudson at Chicones and Casanova's. Well balanced with hop bitters and malt, hops do bite but malt keeps things from becoming too bitter. Its one of the better IPA's Ive had in a while. Although color is mostly yellow, this is a 2 row based brew, so its sneaky like that. At only 69 ibu's it seems like its allot higher, very deceptive. $5 for a bomber of 7% Info from their website: http://www.bearrepublic.com/
Really? Well, we need an ipa dedicated thread then. Like the homebrewers thread, except all about ipas. Since you are a mod you should make it. I'll add what I can to keep it going.
You can cruise over to Superior, they should have it there. This is not a MN distributed brew, just an fyi.
My top favorite single & double IPA's based on style guidlines: 16 Grit from Surly 37 Hour Simcoe SMaSH from Hart & Thistle Double Simcoe IPA from Wyerbacher 120 Min IPA from DFH Hop Rod Rye from Bear Republic Imperial Pale Ale from Garrison brewing Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale from Sierra Nevada Big A, IPA from Smuttynose Rye Squared from Terrapin Surly Furious Ale to the cheife from Avery
If you're into things as insane as unearthly, check out Moylan's Hopsickle and Avery Maharajah. They don't like you. Also, Stone Ruination, but that's another Hudson/Superior trip.
You guys should also try some Founders items. Reds Rye ipa and Centennial ipa, both outstanding beers.
