## Resource

The IPA will NEVER DIE, and neither will this series of blind tasting podcasts if we can successfully find more beers that fit our criteria. Thankfully, listeners Benji & Suzanne went to California and brought back some all-West Coast, long-made IPAs to deepen our ongoing quest to find the country's best, and our scoresheets are showing high numbers on this one. We also discuss the deep thoughts of great philosophers (like a toddler in a shopping cart); Craig might've had a Mosaic breakthrough; and we share our overall Top 35 lists of every IPA we've drank through this series - and boy do we feel silly about some of the names at the bottom. IPAs Reviewed Blindly North Park Brewery - Hop-Fu! Societe Brewing Co. - The Pupil Ballast Point Brewing - Sculpin Elysian Brewing - Space Dust Highland Park Brewery - Hello, LA
