I don't like Imperial IPAs, but Nosferatu is the best one Great Lakes Brewing makes.

You are spot on !! Ive enjoyed Nosferatu for many years. Always play Blue Oyster Cult as I sip. Life is great

It doesn’t look very stormy to me.

On this side of the pond our IPAs do tend to be weaker, so 5%-6% would be regarded as strong, typically the pubs I drink in serve IPAs with an ABV of 3.5%-4.5%. The UK IPAs available in cans are stronger, and I believe they can be brewed up to 20%!!

I came across these sites
UK: IPA Beer | Buy IPAs Online from Beer Hawk
USA: IPA - American | BeerAdvocate

A couple from Ex Novo Brewing (Corrales, NM & Portland, OR)

First, sharing with Mrs D it's "Because People Like to Say Salsa" kettle sour with mango, passion fruit and jalapeño (6.5% abv)

and now "Threat Level: Turquoise" IPA (6.8% abv, 68 ibu). Solid west-coast style IPA.

Modern Times officially launched their entry into the NM market this week - always nice to have another good brewery's offerings to try out, and I am.

Shared with Mrs Doppelbock, one we actually did have before and liked, "Laser Rain" cucumber gose....nice and refreshing on a warm afternoon after work.

And then it's "Fortunate Islands" pale ale...to me, a decent middle of the pack effort, very smooth but maybe needs a little more body.

Another one from the new kid in NM...

Modern Times "Dungeon Map" west coast IPA. Good solid clear brew.

Then it's Bow & Arrow "Hola Hazy" version 3 NEIPA. I somehow missed version 2 dang it.

Dont you just love the micro brewer ? they make incredible inspired beers and beer titles that - most likely - come with a story of how and what. Nice choice GOS

Another busy week, and I'll be going for a while tomorrow yet again. I thought the shortage of new cars (microchip shortage) would make my job slower but we're just picking up used cars to sell and they are more work for me.

Came home, immediately went for a nice light refreshing pilsner - Ex Novo "Blue Bucket of Gold." I'll be at the brewery this weekend for new stuff and I hope they have some of these on hand....would like another 4-pack.

And now while waiting for Mrs D to arrive with dinner.....Ex Novo "Threat Level: Turquoise" IPA

A short 4 hour work day today - clocked out after lunchtime and took my 8 year old granddaughter for some froyo and then some new shoes.

Shared with Mrs D, Rowley Farmhouse Ales "Germophile" mango/guava Berlinerweisse.

And then a new one...Ex Novo "No Time for Fantasies" west coast IPA (7.0% abv). Interesting blend of CTZ, Simcoe, Chinook, Citra and Amarillo hops...this one will I think evolve a little once it settles in for a week or so. Very smooth.

He made it, crows didn't get him, hat is mine. The day he took flight. Sorry for the poor picture quality : Whoops, wrong thread. Still I'm enjoying a Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA.

I know what you mean unfortunately, had to put down a mouse that the neighbor cat brought as an offering, had a broken back. Easier when they're already gone. Not much for me but the eight year old thought it might make it.

Ex Novo "Stiff Upper Lip" ESB (6.2% abv, 30 ibu)
