I picked up a some IPA's from San Diego:

- Modern Times

- Belching Beaver

- AleSmith

- Duck Foot

- Pure Project

- stopped at a few others but didn't bring anything home

Last weekend in Rhode Island I grabbed some from:

- Long Live

- Buttonwoods

- Moniker

Long Live is by far my favorite right now. I haven't had a bad IPA from them in four trips in the past two years. They have a good variety with very different flavors, but everyone is good. If you are into IPAs and live near RI, I would highly recommend a visit there.

We had a friend ship some Pliny the Elder and Younger to us last year. I wasn't as impressed as I had expected based on the reviews everyone gives it. I found it too malty.

RI has great beers! Have a friend up there who I visit on occasion. He introduced me to Whalers Brewing and their Rise APA. That's a thing of beauty. I'll try to get a hold of Long Live at some point.

Whalers is a great place to hang out. I enjoy that they have corn hole and pool tables.

Another neat place to visit is Sons of Liberty. Total basement vibe with leather couches.
