Well my name says what I'm all about, I just picked up some Bridgeport Hop Czar on sale, aaand FINALLY found some BrewDog in our area--got a 4 pack of 5AM Saint!:hyper:

Waiting for the BrewDog to chill and about to crack open the Hop Czar. I actually haven't had it, and I thought I'd gotten every hoppy beer I could get my hands on. Review to follow soon.
 
Sorry, not a fan of IPAs, too hoppy for my tastes. Drank a bottle of Einbecker Mai Bock earlier tonight. Enough though of drinking store-bought beer, I've got 2 cases of my homebrewed Honey Amber Ale to consume!
 
I am an admitted IPA fan, with that said, sipping a delightful almost local ale here.

Cheers to all,

I had some Firestone Pale Ale, and dirty bastard today. It was Sierra Nevada yesterday while watching the lakers.
Firestone's Double Barrel Ale is one of my favorites, and tonight I'm enjoying Sierra Nevada's Glissade.

Small world.:)
i recently had my first Ranger IPA from new belgium in ft collins. typical of the brewery, it was delicious. definitely among the top of my IPA list.
I don't consider myself to be a total lightweight when it comes to hoppy brews, but I've still got half of my Ranger sixer in the fridge because it's limited to times I'm feeling adventurous. Bit too hoppy to be consider it a candidate for daily drinker.
 
I mostly drink my own homebrew. I make a lot of different styles but lately I've been enjoying my IRA and American Wheat.
Been playing bass most of my life, but I'm new to this forum. I'm pretty active on the homebrewtalk.com forum with the same username. Any other homebrewers or HBT listers here?
 
There's a bunch of brewers here. I have a HBT login but haven't been there in a while.

If we're talking IPAs specifically, my current IPA recipe is 2oz summit at 60 min, then 1/2 oz amarillo every 10 min from there on. Dry-hop for at least 2 weeks with another 1/2 oz amarillo. Complete citrus bomb for those who like that style.
