I typically purchase IPA's brewed local but this one I guess is shipped nationally, this one is found in Publix where I am in SC. I really enjoy these

I've drank over 500 different IPAs. Loved supporting independent breweries, etc. Corporate ****ed that aspect of the beer game up. Still enjoy an IPA when I'm out, but....

I just buy a six pack of Modelo these days and enjoy the savings.

If you’re ever in east TN, go to Great Oak brewing and try the Thunder Pig IPA. I had a small local brewery client that was struggling financially and I bought into it 50/50. It was just poorly ran financially before I came in and we ended up doing fine.

We eventually got out a few years later and sold our recipes and that was our IPA. I think that’s the only recipe still going.. we had a Lager and a Bock that we sold to another local brewery that recently went under. Guessing they sold to someone else because it did well but not sure where they’re at now.

Lagunitas is generally pretty solid. Civil society fresh is my favorite if I must drink an IPA. but, I can also crush a cigar city Jai alai, mostly because of their perfect branding and color combination

Bet, when I come, I'm asking for JayCane!
 
Lagunitas is a Bay Area brand, like their Little Sumpin best out of their choices, the Beast is a good call as well.
Ghost Town rarely has something I don't like, solid brewery. Russian River's Blind Pig is a good IPA any day. I've been into Jerry's Briefcase by Kneedeep lately. This is fantastic, it's limited edition for now but its selling and a lot of IPAs are struggling these days.
And then there's Moonraker, which has a ton of good choices.

We went up to see the grandkids' lacrosse game in Johnson City a while back. It's impossible to find a parking spot on a Saturday evening near there.

My wife and I have a house maybe 15 minutes from there in Jonesborough. I’ll have to check it out.

Grew up in Jonesborough myself. My wife and I lived there for 3 years. Currently in Blountville.

Recommend Depot Street brewing and JC Brewing in Boones Creek if you haven’t been to those spots. I’ve seen their operations and setups and think they do it best around here.
