    Yup. Most certainly. Like I said shorepound. 4-5' 40' from sand line. 6 waves in 2.5 hours. Had to be Selective. The beer cheese soup is a great insulator. Apparently.
    BTW. I apologize for not announcing this as my first post...
    HEAVY DRIFT. Constant kickin/paddle to keep the only valley peeling and not often. Mostly single line drop for 100yrds. Beach replenishment sucks.

    Check out some Lagunitas brews as well. They are really reasonably priced, and are generally consistent on balance/flavor.

    I want to try the Sweet Water IPA. I did try the Lagunitas IPA and I thought it was horrible!!! I am on my clense month where I take a break from IPA's and drink St. Pauli Girl. I love the Sierra Nevada Torpedo, but I have noticed, i have a very odd sleep pattern when I drink them.

    Be careful with the Lagunitas IPA. They are common and mass distributed. I have seen them old on the shelf many times. IPAs just don't taste the same a few months after they are brewed. That said, their IPA is not one of my favorites. However, if you can find Lagunitas Sucks, that is a damn fine double IPA.

    I agree with this thread and everything in it.

    Had a few Flying Fish Abbey Dubbels last night......nice for the style......don't love them.

    I love canned ipa. Will be looking out for the sweetwater, where are they brewed?

    Right outside of Atlanta.

    This is a decent canned IPA and should be available in NJ:

    Not sure I'll find it up here in NJ.

    Having a little brewing party for my upcoming birthday, GF rented out a brewing store/homebrew place and me and buds are going to brew beer and hang. Will be nice because don't have to worry about cleanup and everyone can learn to brew in a big group. Also everyone will get beer.

    Thanks Brew, if I see that Lagunitas Sucks, I'll give them a second try. I did get hooked on the Evolution Lot 3 IPa for about a week, but then I went back to Torpedo. I def want to try the Sam Adam Rebel IPA

    I have to admit I did have a skunky batch a while back, luckily the shop by me does damn good business and rotate their stock often. Your spot on with the sitting around though... IPAs most certainly loose that bite over time.
    Case in point the Stone "enjoy by" series... http://enjoyby.stonebrewing.com
