Love Flying Dog beers. Especially Raging ***** and Bloodhound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Dog_Brewery

Hopocalypse is good for me too. https://drinkdrakes.com/beers/hopocalypse-hazy-double-ipa/

Our brewery 2 miles away (most city people now have a brewery within two miles I think) is St Georges and they make a great Grateful Day. https://www.stgbeer.com/menu-beer/

I may have to look at BeerAdvocate to see what’s good and local. I’m closer to Decatur (GA, not AL)

I'm not an IPA fan, but Atlanta's Scofflaw Double Jeopardy is a favorite of mine. High alcohol percentage but also really smooth.

Overall, there is no better beer than Weihenstephaner's Original, IMO.

When the Octoberfests come around I'm drinking Hacker Schorr and Spaten. Here in the winter I drink Second Self's (GT) Mole Porter. For lagers Stella Artois can't be beat. I also like Sam Smith's Organic Lager.

I'm done with IPAs, generally.
