The Glade 4.0

But it *is* epically named:

I think I take issue with your "it's not the best beer in the world" sentiment. Have you had it? It is F*cking epic IPA.

Personally, I think I've had more than a case of it.

Holy ****!

Not sold anywhere near me, to my knowledge. I might have to track down a serious booze shop soon.

I've had this once and lament that I can no longer find it. I'll have to... track... it down.

According to their site, it is at my favorite supermarket. I need to go there tomorrow to restock food tomorrow anyway, I'll see if they do have it.

Pssst, they upgraded the tracking system.

I'm headed to the beer church after school to get a six pack!

Can you down it with one pull?

Ugh, seriously TX? Could your liquor laws be any MORE idiotic?

As a matter of fact, I was drinking it while I was posting and I agree that it is pretty damn good. However, there is at least one IPA that I've found to be even tastier: Maharaja Imperial IPA from Avery Brewing Co.
I'd also hazard the opinion that the following are easily as good as, or better than, Ranger IPA:

• Dogfish Head's 90 Minute IPA
• Great Divide's Hercules
• Twisted Pine's Hoppy Man
• Moylan's Hopsickle
• Lagunitas' Hop Stoopid

Of course, it might be a little unfair to compare a standard IPA to a list of double IPAs but if I'm shopping and they're all available, they're not all coming home with me.

Ah, the angst contained in those few words can, at times, be overwhelming.

No Canadian distribution...booooo!

Nice list! I agree, Maharaja is excellent, as is Dogfish head (60 and 90), and Hop Stoopid, haven't had the divide, pine, or moylan's yet. Have you had Modus Hoperandi from Ska Brewing yet, or Deschutes Inversion? Both also amazing IPA's.

P.S. Can't believe I forgot stone, both their IPA and their Ruination are incredible. (Ruination not for beginners.)

No, haven't had the pleasure of tasting Modus Hoperandi or Deschutes Inversion. I live a couple of miles from a really great beverage store, though, and am slowly working my way through what they've got, so I'll probably get to 'em eventually.

Only 4 blocks away!

I think Shel and Dark just became my bff's. Agree completely. Maharaja is glorious and Dogfish 90 is god damn epic. Don't get me started on Stone. Beergasm.

Ranger is darn good.

The clerk stocking the aisle, who readily identified himself as a beer dork, got a big smile on his face when I asked for Ranger, took me right to it.

Then he recommended Brother Thelonius, a Belgian Style Abbey Ale. I bought one, look forward to trying it the next time I want a good beer. Seems the creator was greatly affected by the music of Thelonius Monk and decided to pay tribute to him with the finest ale he could brew.

No Hopwin beer? Sigh.

I prefer Sam Adams Noble Pils. They should brew it year round.

I bought a six-pack of that Hopwin. Dragged it out over four months. Didn't want to rush through them. Good stuff.

How do you find out if someone around your are carries it? I'd love to try it. That could be an item for a glade scavenger hunt.
