Um, Bells Two Hearted? (Or in a few weeks Oracle.) Founders Centennial. Dogfish 90minute.

I don't like Dogfish 90 minute…there's something offputting about the aftertaste….

I will try Bells Two Hearted I guess….I think I've heard of it.

Barmaid told us this was not to be missed…of course I'm going to miss it :(

My focus on Thursday would be the release of Mind the Hop, on IPA day no less.

But since I'm out of town I'll have to have an ipa or two at Three Floyds Brewpub Thursday.

feeling a little under the weather?
I think you should try Founders All Day IPA, it's somewhat available (safeway/Harris teeter have it)
two hearted is available and good, but I think might be a little richer than you are looking for

Good call on the Founders All Day more so that Two Hearted. Lagunitas Daytime or Stone Go To would also fit the bill imo.

I could probably handle more than six ounces of those, even when I'm not on vacation.

I bought a six pack of lagunitas at CVS yesterday….

i will look into Founders.. maybe at the new Harris Teeter in Falls Church..

I got to say I'm not a huge Harris Teeter fan…

All Day IPA is good (and comes in a 15 pack) if you don't like super-high ABV IPAs. I would second that recommendation as well.

^take that reco with a grain of salt* as he only recognizes beer from MI or RVA as being drinkable


*that grain should also be escalated from Detroit's famous salt mine
which I visited and was actually very cool (literally too)


edit…just read public tours have not been conducted since the 1980s.
well got in there just in time I guess

I'd recommend any one of these IPAs for IPADAY or break the rules and have a pale ale. All delicious, all fruity and light. #mulebomb and for those keeping score, $115… This one is all mine sidehutch. :0)

So, you recommend something, I second your recommendation, and then you come back and denigrate your own recommendation because JULIAN.

This board is amazing sometimes.

No offense Jules, but your IPA recs would've been awesome circa 2005.

As GGW was always astute to point out: Julian's America does advocate an old-world view of success. It's basically stuck in 1989.
