Who Brews America's Best IPA?

I enjoy life's finer things. No wait... I just enjoy life's finest beer. This story starts while I was at a certain state university in Fargo, ND. To make it short, the cold days and colder nights helped in introducing myself to the sweet golden beverage. But, I have to confess, beer drunken in college serves two purposes; easy on the wallet and I will let you guess the second one...

Now, college days behind me my pallet has evolved. So many choices out there, but lucky for me I have fell in love with a certain hoppy cohort... The India Pale Ale. Travel with me on the journey to find the best IPA brewed in our fifty states.
