LGP Beer Madness (IPA Edition) - Regional Final

[Troy Loney]

I just picked the only ones I think deserve mention for "best of". At least just the ones that stick out the most to me.

[Kraftster]

Victory Hopdevil
Clown Shoes Galactica
Helltown Idle Hands

(I'm hoping to try Hop Slam this year; think Racer 5 is a little overrated; Sculpin not a personal favorite of mine)

[eddysnake]

WC:
Founders Double Trouble
Columbus Bodhi
Fatheads Hop JuJu

[Troy Loney]

Hop Slam is $20 a six pack in my neighborhood.

I won't be getting any Hop Slam this year.

[MWB]

So, TL, those two are your votes?

Yes, let's post three beers you want to move on. if you only want to vote one or two, that's fine, but max of 3.

What do you think for duration of voting? We could leave it open for a few days in case anyone wants to try beers on the list before voting.

[Kraftster]

That's not a bad idea. I'd make an effort to try Hop Slam. Troy, you've seen it around? I know the release date is usually sometime around now and Caliente usually has some bottles.

[count2infinity]

Hopslam, 60 minute and hop devil are my WC votes.

[MWB]

So I'll post vote tallies, but people can change votes if they want.

It was released in January. You might see it around at some bottle shops...because of the restrictive pricing.

Oh, I can think of another two actually.

Stoudts Smooth Hoperator and Ithaca Flower Power.

The latter's been mentioned i see.

[MWB]

To keep it manageable, when voting, please just vote your three choices. Like eddy did, except not 4, only 3.

[the wicked child]

60 minute, hop devil and ruination

[meecrofilm]

Sculpin
Founders Double Trouble
Idle Hands

[Jofa Guy]

Victory hop devil, sculpin, and ruination

Only out dfh because I haven't been able to try the other ones unfortunately. Is Sierra Nevada torpedo an ipa? I know it says "extra pale ale" just wonderinf

[Troy Loney]

Torpedo is an IPA

[Jofa Guy]

Also, what about union ipa by Firestone walker? That should be added to the wildcard or west coast, just my worthless 2 cents

[MWB]

You don't have to vote three if you don't feel strongly about three. I'll add union.

union jack is a good one, forgot about that

actually, double jack is better imo, but both are top notch

[Jofa Guy]

Thank you. I'm sorry for being a major pain, I edited my last post before seeing this. My final votes are

Sculpin, hop devil, and Union Jack.

Deep ellum ipa (which many probably haven't had due to location) is also an excellent one. Don't think it should be added to the list though because of people probably not able to have it. I'm jealous of you guys I really wanna try hop juju

[Troy Loney]

Just out of curiosity, has anyone had Resin besides me and Eddysnake?



I was blown away when I first had this beer.

[count2infinity]

It was a good beer. I don't think I'd put it up in my top 10. It's a solid beer, and I enjoy it, but typically isn't something I'd seek out.

[Jofa Guy]

Multiple people have told me that beer is outstanding, I need to try it out as well. Going to go look up it's ibu and abv as where it's available

[Mr. Colby]

Dogfish 60, racer, founders double trouble

[eddysnake]

I really enjoyed the Resin. My brother just brought me another (looking forward to trying it again at the beginning of the night rather than end) along with sixpoint Crisp. Got a resin going out to BigMck as well.

To me it's a better Ithaca Flower power, just a super floral and a smooth IPA.

I'm not as much into the super dry harsh IPA's anymore.
