What's your favorite Beer?

Yeah they were around 10-12€ here as well… And you know what?.. I think I'm done buying US IPAs... Hoping UK distribution will be rolled out asap, and otherwise (D)IPA-wise I'll just keep an eye out for Basqueland, Piggy Brewing, Folkingebrew, Apex Brewing Company, Rock City, Atelier der Braukünste,...

@neph93 Equilibrium is one of the higher priced beers available to me. Usually 20-24$ a four pack. I’ve never had an IPA that I would pay 15$‘s for. What is the price difference from your local breweries?

@scooter how much did you pay for that Equilibrium? They are $15 a can here ::)
Retail is $7. The store I get it from has a beer club, for frequent buyers. That knocks 10% off. Bottom line, $6.30. Personally, I wouldn't pay much more. $15 would be an easy pass.
I think @Seul has the right idea. There are plenty of brewers, on your side of the pond, dropping equally delicious IPAs, at prices that won't kill your budget. There's no reason to chase US IPAs. Even if I had access to the stuff you guys get over there, I'd certainly pass on paying the premium. On a weekly basis, I have access to IPAs from the likes of BlackStack, Equilibrium, Hop Butcher, Other Half, and Phase Three, just to name a few favorites. Most of their offerings are quite lovely, and there are plenty of them, to keep my fridge stocked constantly.

The US IPA’s are the worst. Equilibrium tops the pile, Drekker comes in just under and Toppling Goliath just under that. I’m of the opinion that TG is doable.
Otherwise I tend towards the EU and local brews. Apex (Swedish) is 10USD, Wylam (UK) is the same, and I just picked up two Vocation brews for the weekend for that cost only 6-7USD for 440ml. Verdant(UK) vary massively in price, but end up about the same. I’m keeping an eye on Northern Monk who are getting better and better and are not as yet that expensive.
Norwegian brewers do lots of good stuff, but not that many awesome IPA’s. Sølikatt are best at the moment and cost about 5USD for 330ml.
