When it comes to IPAs, brewers can be an opinionated bunch. Whether hazy or crisp, session or imperial, their preferences tend to range wildly. Knowing this, we asked a few brewers to share some of their favorites, with no limits as to substyle or strength.

“Foundation Brewing Company in Portland, Maine, is doing really cool things with hoppy beers. I really like their Epiphany, which is their flagship IPA. It’s a really good beer! They have a little different take on beers than we do, but I appreciate what they’re doing, and they take their brewing very seriously. They do a lot of QA/QC on their beers, and it really shines through—they’re clean, hoppy beers.”
