Your favorite IPA?

[rusnak]

I'm looking for craft beers to sell.

I found "Doppelbock", which is a lager.

And something called "New England Juicy IPA". I have no idea what that is, or where to find it.

What are some of your favorite craft beers (bottled)?

[rusnak]

Maybe this is it?

Depends on the customer. If selling to folks that only drink craft brews, then have odd choices that rotate. If selling in a restaurant, get a reasonably price local draft brew. If you are on the west coast, there are tons of IPAs to choose from. I am drinking some IPAs from Stone (mixed case) but I also have a case of Sockeye Red IPA (local).

Sorry, I should have provided more info.

I am soon opening a new gas station and mini mart. It's a major branded site, located in the higest median household income area for several hundred miles. It's probably going to be a very busy location.

My customers are Biff and Buffy, the yoga mom. Soccer mom used to sacrifice for the kids. Yoga mom on the other hand, makes sure that she has hers. She works out to show that she's still got it. Yoga mom turns into Soccer mom when times turn rough financially, so think rich soccer mom, and you know what I mean.

For her, I have affordable wines, trendy healthy snacks, etc. Also frozen take home restaurant quality food like lobster ravioli, world class chocolate truffles, etc.

The thing about beer is that you can sell to Jose and Bubba too, at Biff and Buffy prices once they have tried it at the bar and stop in for a 6 back of Bud Natty Ice.

Zoetic. It's only local though. It's called an AMerican Pale Ale and seems to have a bit more body than a true IPA, but it's my favorite of the genre.

Are you East coast or west?

High quality Seattle stuff, and I don't prefer IPA.

Sorry West Coast. But our supply network capability is hither and yon.

I know it SHOULDN'T be a consideration. But the reality is labels and branding sell. The Day Glo has a foil print label where the lasers come out of the tiger's eyes. It looks great on a shelf or in a cooler.

Stone is great, and I love all things Bell's. I have Two Hearted and Oberon in my fridge now. My current favorite IPA is Kona Island IPA, freaking delicious.

[cstreit]

No such thing as a good IPA.
