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.

Big Sky IPA - Big Sky Brewing Company
A very dark IPA. If you are familiar with Big Sky beer it kind of tastes like their Moose Drool. Not too hoppy of a flavor.

Great beer for the price. Semi strong hops taste and a small bitterness. It is unfiltered but does not affect the texture.

Rogue Dead Guy IPA
Light hop and smooth citrus flavor. This is a good IPA for those who don't like too strong beers and are used to traditional ales or wheat beers. It has a great hops aroma but it doesn't translate to the taste.
