Other great hoppy beers are Summit IPA, Goose Island IPA and Bell's Two Hearted Ale.
The Goose Island has a distinctive floral hoppiness that I really like.

Rogue Brutal Bitter from Oregon is another great, very hoppy beer!

If you can get ahold of an Arrogant Bastard Ale from Stone Brewery, you
will have one of the hoppiest ales in America. Considering the current
political climate, your friends may think its quite appropriate coming
from America.

hoppy as
well...

Hi,
I've been listing to your conversations, but am not a home
brewer(yet probably). Swalley has met me and turned me onto the
website; I'm sure I'll show up to a meeting some time soon.
Here's the simple question. I've read how many of you send beer for
contests. I'm sending a six pack of beer or so to a friend I made
at 't Arendsnest in Amsterdam. Does anyone have any recommendations
for packing and/or sending the beer cheaply/safely?
The beers I'm sending are American examples of high hop
beer(compared to Dutch beer). My list so far is Stone Ruination
IPA, Victory Hop Devil, Summit Pale Ale(and IPA?), Sierra Nevada
Pale Ale, and Redhook ESB for a good selection across the country,
as well as the Summit as a Minnesota beer. There may be room for
one or two others too. I thought someone would have an opinon on my
list as well.
Thanks for any help. If anyone needs directions to my favorite pub
in the world('t Arendsnest) or advice how to drink Dutch in
Amsterdam, let me know.
Thanks,
Cal Vande Hoef
Cheers!,
Mike "Swally" Swalinkavich
