now that we actually have a selection of year round apa/ipa's to choose from, what are you grabbing the most and why?

Smashbomb & Crazy Canuck and Hophead my 3 regular APA/IPA selections hand down partly because I can usually only procure LCBO products..as road trips are unfortunately not in the plans due to family/budgetary restraints...
Everytime I learn something new I forget something old...like that time I learned to make wine and then forgot how to drive...

Though Stone IPA from the bottle is a great TV-watching IPA.

IPA: Mad tom: Consistent, and VERY available.
APA: Crazy Canuck, but only because I don't live in Peterborough and can't buy Square Nail from the Publican brewery EVERY DAY!!!

Canadian IPA: Tree Hop Head / Muskoka Mad Tom / Flying Monkeys Smash Bomb interchangeably. I find them all to be reliable and decidedly above average, especially compared to everything else available at the 'BO/TBS.
Ontario APA: Great Lakes Crazy Canuck hands down. I think it's sad and almost infuriating that this exemplary pale is only rated as "good" (B/3.69) on Beer Advocate, just because they screwed up the initial release with some diacetyl problems. I deleted my old review and added a new one as soon as they cleaned up the recipe. Luckily the current RB score (89/92) is much more reflective of the outstanding quality of this ale.
US APA/IPA: been savouring my half cases of Three Floyds Alpha King and Half Acre Daisy Cutter over the last month and a bit. Following our upcoming Grand Rapids trip, it'll probably be one of the Michigan world beaters, like Two Hearted or Centennial.
