IPA
Having never tried the beer that so many here speak highly of, I went to the only local store that makes an effort to stock good beer and bought some IPA last night. All they had was McEwan's. It was pretty good, but nothing spectacular. How does that stack up against other brands?

Re: IPA
im a big ipa (or any pale ale) fan but i dont remember ever trying mcewans. the best kinds are from microbreweries so your options are generally limited by area.
a good nationwide pale ale is sierra nevade. i would suggest that.

Re: IPA
I wouldn't be surprised if your greatest challenge is that many smaller breweries don't distribute in Alabama.
You'll find a lot of folks at beeradvocate.com who like "Double IPAs" which are hoppier and maltier. Go there and browse by style. Or try ratebeer.com for a database that's easy to browse. Here in California, some leading IPAs are Alesmith IPA, Stone IPA and Bear Republic's Racer 5. All are consistently ranked highly by professional and "general fan" reviews. IMHO, freshness takes a normally delicious IPA and makes it spectacular. Last week, I had an IPA that was kegged less than a week prior and the floral notes of the hops were out of this world delicious. All IPAs are hoppy and fairly high in ABV. There are lots of variations on the style. Have fun!
