Boulevard Pale Ale was what got me started. There's hardly any hops in there, I don't know how they even call it a Pale Ale. Then I moved on up.

I still don't like the IPA's where the brewer was clearly like "ZOMG, LOOK AT HOW MUCH HOPS WE CAN GET IN HERE!!" or any beer that boasts about how much hops it has. But a good IPA can beat any other beer on any day.

I like Ranger IPA and Modus Hoperandi but don't usually drink a lot of IPA.

IPAs and PAs are not necessarily the same thing.  All IPAs are PAs but not all PAs are IPAs.

The Ranger IPA (new belgium) kinda sucks.  The Boulevard Single Wide is good, but I know most of you fairies poopoo on anything boulevard so forget I said it.

Good IPA's:
Sierra Nevada has a good one.  The Modus one is good too.  Hop Czar will knock you flat on your ass.  I had one a couple weeks ago from CO called Manharanha or something, it was the tits.  I also like the Schlafly APA (not sure how it's different that IPA other than the I is an A).  I've also heard excellent things about the Stone Brewery, but can't find that crap anywhere.  Don't ever buy anything from the Breckenridge Brewery  :frown:.


Anyone that doesn't like Boddington's is a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) that doesn't actually like beer.  Wheat Beers are for women and so are fruit beers.  


Fantastic Beer that everyone would love:  Left Hand Brewery - Milk Stout


Best Beers that are cheap and good to have a around the house (I call these table beers) - Boule Pale Ale, New Belgium 1554, anything Sam Adams, Mich Amber Bock (if you're broke)

102 is rough ridin' nuts.  I think 60 Minute IPA is only like 55 or 60 IBUs.

I wasn't saying you were wrong, just that 102 is a rough ridin' nuts amount.

I've also heard excellent things about the Stone Brewery, but can't find that crap anywhere.  

Everything from Stone is pretty good but definitely try the Ruination IPA, Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale & Arrogant Bastard.

My brother made me try the ruination IPA a few months back.... At first I felt like a huge pussy for not liking it at all, then I realized it must be an acquired taste and that he gained a good 50 pounds in college acquiring said taste

Pretty sure it's not distributed in KS yet.  You can get it on the MO side of KC though.

IPA's don't have to be redic strong. Try a Ranger IPA from new belgium if you "don't like IPA's" then get back to me.

Will try and report

It's just individual taste. am I a huge pussy because I don't like the taste bourbon and tequila? doubtful. they just don't taste good to me. is clams an eight foot tall science experiment gone wrong because he doesn't like the taste of cilantro? probably. but that's a whole dif thread for a dif time and place.

try the odells ipa too. It's super citrusy and the type of ipa that I love. go to a big store and get a mixed pak and try one each day before trying something else and I bet you find one you like. odells though.
