For you guys that are juice bomb IPA fans. Parish's Pure Tropics is very good and I am not an IPA fan.

Is this a new one? I'm not a huge IPA fan either but I like most/all of Parish's (New England) IPAs. Only thing I do not like is the price. But its simple economics right?

I think its their newest. Same IPA base as Bloom but finished on tropical fruit. You can tell! Lots of pineapple and grapefruit. This and Jucifer from Gnarly Barley are the only IPAs I've tried that I really like.

Ghost is probably my favorite IPA. Jucifer is a close 2nd. Since Jucifer is in a can, I make sure I have at least 1 in my ice chest before each game.

IPA's are my favorite. There is a Louisiana Brewer's Guild that came together to brew up a Double IPA. Abita brewed it and bottled it. There are fruit notes at first then finished off with a nice hoppy flavor that stays with you. $12 for a 6 pack. I don't know exactly what brewery will do it next year.

Pure Tropics was released once last fall. This years batch is more dialed in IMO.

I bought 2 cases of DDH Ghost on the release day. It is insanely good. Definitely worth the hype

My main reason for staying away from IPAs is the grassy taste. Not sure if that's from a particular type of hops or an amount. Jucifer and Pure Tropics dont have much of that taste so I'm ok with one or two.
For stout fans, NuNus has some Dragon Milk.

Pure Tropics and Jucifer are what I would consider gateway IPAs. Keep drinking them and you will become a full fledged hop head.

Jucifer is what got me hooked and on the trail of endless gut and love handle expansion. Learned last week that a ghost has 240 cals.

Nunu's has quite a selection.

And the beer guys there are great. They are knowledgeable and super-helpful.

Which location are you referring to? The one in Scott is pretty mediocre
