for widely available beers I'd go with Sculpin, Head Hunter, Strange Magic among others. To just go one step up from those macros grab some Founders All Day IPA, should be easy to find and you won't be napping at 6pm
All-time favs are Pliny the Elder, Heady Topper, anything from Lawsons, Westy 10, Ayinger, some Cantillon's, Zombie Dust, and Blind Pig.
I ended up having 10 of the 12 beers, passed out around 5:00 PM woke up and ate went back to bed. Saved 2 for the hair of the dog today, getting to old to pound 10 Beers during the day lol.
The worse thing for me is always next day Anxiety, always have that guilty shitty feeling.
I will say a lock on my phone when drunk would be good, I always find myself texting people I normally wouldn’t then regret like a mother fucker the next day.
cantillon, westy, and ayinger are not IPAs but the rest are.... westy and cantillon are belgian, ayinger might be german (?)
sculpin is ballast point in san diego which got bought a few years ago by one of the big boys (inbev, i think). they also make a grapefruit sculpin. for years i drank mostly sculpin and jai alai (tampa cigar city) but now it's mostly small batch stuff like General Braddock's IPA from Brew Gentleman
strange magic and head hunter are from Fatheads out of Cleveland but have national distribution, pliny and blind pig are from russian river out of CA and probably the best IPA and Pale Ale I've had. Zombie Dust is out of Indiana from Three Floyds who used to have great distribution then pulled back to just a few rust belt states i think
heady topper is alchemist in VT, lawsons also VT, and another is hill farmstead in VT. we get lawsons in PA but not the others. Lawsons (sip of sunshine really good plus a bunch of other IPAs they make) has good distribution so should be in Florida.
also like Westbrook out of Charleston SC...their One Claw IPA is excellent but also make a double (two claw) and then one just called IPA. you can find them throughout the south
Nothing wrong with that, I may have to try them.
Just took a screen shot of this. Jai alai is 1 of my favorites and i like buying cigar city variety packs (florida man is good and they have a very tasty double ipa in the variety pack).
Next time i hit total wine (we can make our own 6 packs) i will be on the lookout for these beers.
Big fan of both IPA's and Belgians.
Speaking of Belgians, have you ever tried Duvel? Very good. I was on a cruise 2 years ago with a drink package and there was a bar that had only beers. While everyone was going for the Heinekeen, coronas, and other popular beers, I was drinking the Duvels (pricey beer as well so got the monies worth)
yeah used to have a Belgian bar my wife and i frequented called Sharp Edge but went out of business a couple years ago. they're reopening maybe end of '21 or early '22 with a Pizza place called Caliente and will do crafts and belgians. other than westy (impossible to get but best beer I've had) i like the sours and triples. best sours are cantillon, rodenbach grand cru, and duchess. tons of good triples like karmeliet, kasteel, and st fuellien. duvel i think has singles (like a blonde ale) which i didn't drink too much. Sharp Edge would bring over brewers from Belgium like the head brewer at Von Steenberg, and then host beer dinner parties ... was a hell of a great place.
there's a joint in philly named Monks Cafe which is a great belgian bar if you're ever in that cesspool of a city. another in birmingham AL called The J Clyde that just went out of biz too but was awesome while it lasted.
i'm pretty much all IPA these days
Can't beat BOGO on brew, I miss Publix living in California and Vegas haven't seen one in 10 years.
Dude I was born and raised in FL, lived there for 25 years the Chicken Tender Subs= Monster Tits
Fried Chicken also very good, nothing better then a 6 pack and a Publix sub.
I live in Vegas now, have considered moving back to FL as I don't gamble or party much anymore.
I do enjoy the Contests in Vegas CFB/NFL, with all the Proxy services no real reason to live here anymore.
Real Estate in Vegas is also sky high IMO, also have all the trash moving in from California, etc.
Publix subs may be in my near future LOL.

Citrus County, Crystal River, Homosassa, etc.
Was born in Apopka FL.
Lived in Tallahassee for a bit, when I went to school but the booze and women ate me up.
Brother still lives in the Tampa Area, I have partied at UCF before.
Sister graduated from USF, so I do have lots of ties to FL.
Prob end up moving back there, in the near future.

Yep Villages in Ocala, I believe it's the STD capital of the World for the old folks.
