Best Imperial IPA Poll
One of the first polls we conducted here at The Full Pint was Best Imperial/Double IPA. Five years later, there are many new and glorious hop bombs on the market, and some that rival the top picks of yesteryear. We’ve went ahead and nominated over 40 well known Imperial/Double IPAs. Whether you like em malty, dry, dank or boozy, we want you to vote for the Best Imperial IPA.
Poll ends April 18th at 5PM PDT. Read on for rules and guidelines.
- 1 Vote Per Person, Per Day. No cheating please.
- If you don’t see your favorite listed, please write it in in the comment section below.
- A complaint does not equal a write in vote.
- We consider an Imperial IPA/Double IPA to be over 7.9% abv. Check out ratebeer.com and beeradvocate.com if you aren’t certain of a particular beer’s style.
- Feel free to rally the troops on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySpace, Friendster, Google +, Reddit and email.
- This is friendly competition, with the goal of promoting delicious craft beer. Have fun.

One great list. Didn’t notice Deep Knees Simtra? But what we really need is for someone in central/northern CA to assemble that list on draft on the same weekend…Or perhaps Blind Tiger in NYC might consider it:-)

The Bistro in Hayward California has their annual Double IPA Festival in February during SF Beer Week.
April 14, 2014 @ 7:21 pm
I get Pliny, Firestone Double Jack, Stone Enjoy by, Ballast Point Dorado, and 90 Minute at my store on a fairly regular basis (some are more limited than others) and I have to say, Drake’s Hopocalypse outpaces them all.
Also, if you get a chance, the Motherland Imperial from Track 7 Brewing in Sacramento is outstanding and definitely competes with the best on this list.

To those complaining about the order, it seems to be alphabetical. Question about the Enjoy By, since it changes with every release, which one?
April 2, 2014 @ 6:59 pm
Enjoy By is the same recipe everytime. Hop harvest and availability might make the only difference.

Chicagos HALF ACRE DOUBLE DAISY CUTTER comes in at 8% and would do very well against any beer on the list.
