    Fine IPA

    Well, decided to tune up the board tonight. Went to the fridge and grabbed my 2nd to last Two Hearted Ale from Bells Brewery, leftover from the 6er i grabbed last time i was in Michigan. Has to be one of the best IPA's i've ever had.

    Hmmm...Bells Brewery...slurp.

    Try one of these if you ever get the chance:

    Two Hearted = one of my favorite beers of all time. Big hoppy flavor and aroma and a clean finish. Damn, I'm buying some when I get back to Michigan this afternoon.

    Go to Ashley's and get some on the hand pull.
    As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

    This thread makes me wish I had taken better advantage when I was in MI over the holidays. My personal favorite is 3rd Coast Old Ale (technically a barley wine).

    I hear they're finally selling some variations of Bells beers in Chicago again too.

    Diamond Knot IPA is pretty awesome. Really hoppy. Don't know if you can find it in missoula, but it's in a couple of pubs in seattle.

    I think I'll go out for a few tonight

    Agree most on the Bell's two hearted. Everything I've had from them is the tits. Another great IPA is Dale's Pale Ale from Oskar Blues in Lyons, CO. Dayyumm that chit is good and solid. Hefty ABV, too. And in a can!

    Asheville has a killer Pisgah Pale Ale. I swear there's some skunky kgb mixed in with the hops...

    I'd be up for trading out a 12'er of Pisgah Pale for some of Oskar Blues' new 10Fidy imperial stout. Their website gives the local / regional store availability.

    Hmmmm...

    I'd love to if I wasn't 18. Had Dale's for the first time New Year's Eve, damn good beer too, similar grapefruit-y/pine-y hops for the Two Hearted.
