This is my point. Why call it an IPA if it is not. The English IPA is more buyable since it was the English who brewed the IPA.
And I'm familiar with Dogfish since they are from this area and the sponsor brewer of a local entertainment venue. However, not all of their product is, to my taste, that palatable. Also, familiar with SN & Stone. Not bad, but not something I would go out of my way to get.
