Redhook has a great Imperial IPA called Big Ballard .... when I travel to the NW I always find a couple pints. Too bad its not currently available here on the east coast. Course up there in NH you have access to Maine Brewing (Lunch, Dinner) and The Alchemist (Heddy Topper).
@McLovin - last time I was in Syracuse I went to a small brewery near Middle Ages, called Talking Cursive. The had a great 6% ABV IPA called Hop Flash. Bought a case of that goodness.
@DGatzby - there is no going back indeed. Founders (MI) has a great IPA called Centennial (after the hop variety) that is one of my go-tos and it comes reasonably priced in 15 packs (amen).
