You're on target, Steve. I won't hardly buy an IPA any more, as I cannot stand the over-abundance of hops. They had a History Channel show on featuring the guys at Dogfish Brewery in Delaware not too long ago. They really seem to have their act together, and go after some new and different brews using alternative ingredients. And Red Hook ESB (bitters) is an old standby for me - always safe to grab a six of that when something new doesn't strike my eye! One of my favorites, not so strong in ABV but extra good in flavor is TurboDog by Abita Brewery, which is in Abita Springs, LA about 30 miles south of New Orleans. Found TurboDog when I was doing a power plant in French Camp, MS staying in Starkville - ABITA BEER
