Most of these I drank back in December and January, then I got the "Ski School Scrunk" for most of Feb. And then the Pandemic hit...so, consider these to be classic chugs...
PS
I didn't keep good notes, so there won't be much info in regards to ABV, hops, IBU, BOD, etc.
Suffice it to say, if I post it, it was hella worth drinking!
:D

Every once in a blue moon I get my hands on some East Coast flavor...

Have enjoyed about 90% of the IPAs I have had from Breakside.
However, for some reason I am no longer able to get them here in Truckee (they used to be stocked at no less than 3 small beer-centric markets, but no more).
:confused:

May very well have posted this one before, but it's damn bueno.
The Hop Concept, San Marcos, CA

Motorboatin' IPA
Morgan Territory Brewng, Tracy, CA
BOD: 2/3/20
Drink Date: 3/8/20
ABV: 7%
Hops: Citra, Amarillo, Falconer's Flight
IBU: 70
Super crisp and clean West Coast IPA that isn't nearly as bitter tasting at the IBUs would suggest.
Attachment 321987
Numb Numb Juice hazy IPA
Fall River Brewing, Redding CA
ABV: 7.5%
Hops: ?
IBU: ?
BOD: 2/10/20
Drink Date: 3/9/20
Dunno if I would buy this again, but it was interesting enough to warrant an inclusion here. Easily one of the "thickest" and "sweetest" hazes I've had.
It was like drinking liquid cotton candy...

Version 2.0 of Crooked Lane's Iso Pibu series.
A tasty, unfiltered (not hazy, mind you!) West Coast IPA.
Wish I had been able to drink both verisons side-by-side, but both were solid.
Attachment 321989
South Lake Brewing Co., South Lake Tahoe, CA
Slayerade IPA
BOD: 2/21/20
Drink Date: 3/14/20
ABV: 6.0%
Hops: Antanum, Azacca, Citra
IBU: 50
The beers I've had from this moderately local (they are on the other side of the lake from me) brewery have been hit/miss, but this was definitely a hit. Good, solid West Coast IPA with supreme drinkability.
Attachment 321968
Moon Time Hazy IPA
Morgan Territory Brewing, Tracy, CA
ABV: 6.9%
Hops: Citra, Mosaic, Vic Secret
IBU: 45
BOD: 2/20/20
Drink Date: 3/15/20
Attachment 321964
Drank this one today with lunch.
Steve Austin's Broken Skull IPA
El Segundo Brewing (however this one says it was brewed and canned by Alesmith Brewing, San Diego, CA, so not sure if it is a collabo or if El Segundo contracts out)
ABV: 6.7%
BOD: 2/14/20
Drink Date: 3/23/20
Hops: Citra, Cascade, Chinook
IBU: ?
Super zesty West Coast IPA. Clean and spicy. Would drink again in a heartbeat. Pretty sure it's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's brew (or at least he endorses it), but guessing he can't use the "Stone Cold" due to potential WWE violations?
Attachment 321967
Vibe City IPA
New Glory Craft Brewery, Sacramento, CA
BOD: ?
Purchase Date: 3/20/20
Drink Date: 3:24:20
ABV: 7.1%
Hops: Citra, Amarillo, Mosaic
IBU: ?
Good, clean, West Coast IPA from a stalwart in the Sacramento brewing community.
