I love me some IPA's because that is the best of the US unless you live in the Boston area where you can get tapistery beer. I will take a Belgian (Westmalle Triple, TripleKarmaliet, Chimay grand reserve, Leffe brun) as my favorite.
I do love me some hops, but I like Belgian styles too. As hefes go, not as much, but I like Hacker Schorr and some others. A dunkel is even better.
The Belgian styles are the ones that seem to have gotten lost in the craft beer explosion and avalanche of IPAs and hazy everything. I think its partly because you can cover up a lot of sins in the process when you hop the sh!t out of everything. Belgian styles force you to be more on point.
Here we go, one of my favorite semi local wits for those who swing that way.
One of the best IPAs I’ve had in a whileI'm about to switch from Miller High Life (my winter everyday beer) to craft beer (my summer choice). My summer fallback is Summit EPA but I try lots of different craft beers during the warm months.

Eh.
Toppling Goliath makes outstanding beer. Not all that far from me either. If you like that one try Pseudo Sue.
I posted this in the Home Brewers thread, but thought it’d be cool for here too. My friend was pretty into home brewing and was even talking with a local city about possibly opening up a brewery there. Unfortunately, (actually fortunately because he got the treatment he needed) but his partner was an alcoholic and they closed shop. We finally got everything set up in my garage and we’re ready to start brewing
My friend I mentioned above flew out there just to go to the brewery and pick up some beer haha. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it. We have a few craft beer places here with great selections. I just picked up Heady Topper for $5 a can! In CA that’s an absolute steal
Wow, I used to home brew but I never had a setup like that.
Where did you fly into when you went there? It's kind of in BF Iowa.
Haha I didn’t go. My friend did. He’s really into craft beer and he trades/sells beer with people around the country on a forum he’s a part of. We have some outstanding breweries out here but sometimes have trouble gaining access to the better/smaller breweries East of Mississippi. Now though it’s getting a lot easierWhere did you fly into when you went there? It's kind of in BF Iowa.
My friend said he flew into Minneapolis and then drove there. He laughed when I asked him hahaWhere did you fly into when you went there? It's kind of in BF Iowa.

Been on a pretty steady Hazy IPA kick lately. Trying new ones pretty much every time. Batsquatch by Rouge and Pineapple Passion by Lead Dog are two of my favorites I can think of the last few months...

Sounds good I will keep my eyes out... Sometimes though when the smaller breweries are bought out they stop making a lot of their beers and mass produce a select few. An example I can think of is Ballast Point, who actually just recently went back to being independent. When they got bought out they stopped making what in my opinion were the best two beers they made.
Today’s selection. So far the Sosus andthe Heady are leading the pack
I was not crazy about Batsquatch. The artwork and name are awesome, but the beer itself was a it of a letdown.
Sweetwater 420 Extra Pale Ale is the choice for this evening.
Ponysaurus Export Stout. It is delicious.
