Lagunitas is definitely good but there is a very distinctive hoppy flavor to everything they do. I'm a fan but sometimes I can't tell the difference from one of their offerings to the next.

I'm a huge Avery fan. The Rev is probably in my all-time top 5.

Avery IPA has taken our town by storm. Seems like every good beer bar has it on tap and is pimping the hell out of it.

All worth the price.

tried sierra nevada torpeda and liked it but wasn't blown away
had a shipyard xxxx ipa and liked it a bunch...just a sucker for double ipa

I was disappointed by Sierra Nevada's Torpedo IPA. Most of what I've tried from Sierra has been quite excellent. Their Harvest/Estate series is outstanding, and they make the best barley wine (Bigfoot) I've tried.

Avery is an excellent brewery. You should try their Maharaja Imperial IPA, and pretty much anything else you see from them. I'm looking forward to their Old Jubilation, which is their Christmas ale.

You should try the Doppel Weizen that Lagunitas has out now, which is their September beer. Great, great beer. I know what you are talking about on Lagunitas with the hops (doesn't bother me as much), but if you try their stout offerings, you'll not be disappointed.

I haven't tried Abyss yet, but I'll see if I can find it and let you know how it is.

Drinking the Chocolate Bock now.... before tonight I hadn't tried the 3 on the right or the porter. Favorite time of the year for beer. :)

Probably already been mentioned but I tried an IPA on tap called Shipwrecked. Delicious

I love pretty much ANY IPA.

Question: I had some Kona Pipeline Porter at the EPCOT food and wine festival two weeks ago. So ****ing good. Where can I get it around KC?

Mother****. You sure? They were selling it in bottles there, but no way was I going to pay $6/bottle for it.

Yup. Positive. Kona doesn't distribute to any state that borders MO. Texas might be the closest state with Kona distribution.

Big ditto for me. I am a pretty regular buyer of Lakefront's IPA.
