India Pale Ales were designed to withstand the long voyage to India. Today, it seems one has to design the IPA strong and hoppy enough to make the trip back as well. Vortex IPA is Fort George’s contribution to the IPA arms race. With generous additions of Amarillo, Simcoe and Centennial hops throughout the brewing, fermentation and conditioning phases, balanced with heaps of organic pale malt, we designed this to not rip the taste buds off your tongue, but rather vigorously stimulate them and your palate into a lupulin-ecstacy of pleasure. During the cross-country truck trip our brewery made to find its home in Astoria it was nearly scattered to the cornfields of Nebraska by a tornado. We try to capture some of nature’s intensity in every pint.
If you like malt liquor, you'll like this stuff. If you like IPA, you'll probably have the same gag reflex I had when I took my first (second, third, fourth... and then I dumped it out) sip.
It's really, really malty, without a hint of hops.
Strobist: SB-800, set to 105mm, held above the bottle at 1/4.

My free IPA from Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis.
Shortly after they opened (in 1997, I think), Town Hall formed a pint club, in which you could buy a lifetime membership and get some free swag and a pretty good discount on the beer. I joined for $35.
Then I moved away. Sometime after that, they added a great perk to the Pint Club: free beer on Saturdays from 4 to 5 pm. Just show your pint club card and they'll keep bringing you beers (and their beers are very good).
Brilliant marketing idea, since it really turned "Pint Club Hour" on Saturday into a real social event, with a lot of regulars.
So, while I only get to flex it every few years, I still love my Pint Club membership.
In some ways, I wish I could sell it, since new membership are now up to $175...
Pike Brewery's first release of a double IPA. Made for Seattle Beer Week in 2 weeks! It's a very smooth and drinkable double IPA. Nice taste and balance. Not overly bitter.

Our first Hopster is a North American IPA made with with Mosaic, Idaho 7, Azacca and our homegrown Cascade hops. Aromas of dank hops will unironically overtake your senses. Pouring a golden hue with a tight white foam, it looks even fresher than your newest tattoo. Juicy flavours of tropical citrus, mango and pine are inviting and exciting, just like listening to your favourite vinyl. And don’t worry, it’s vegan.
Ah, the poor man's IPA. This one can be found at my local convenience store, not the source of many quality brews. This makes for a nice session IPA with it being lower in alchol comparitively and also not too bitter.
A good IPA for noobs or if you are desperate from something a bit tastier than what the store might have.
Nothing special, but nothing here to hurt your feelings either.
By Evil Twin Brewing. Yin is an Imperial Stout. Yang is an Imperial IPA. The Yin overpowered the Yang. Still good, though.
This IPA from Southern Tier Brewing (NY) was the only drinkable ale I was able to discover in the many LCBO stores I visited in Ontario.
Beer selection in Ontario is in sad state of affairs. There were no barley wines to be had whatsoever. No porters either. How can this be??
