Carlotta - Can you tell me what those exceptions are? I am in Oregon and am very spoiled by all the fantastic IPA. My father in law is in Maine, and has become fond of our IPA and can't find anything close to being as good on the East Coast. Any suggestions for him? (and for us when we go visit and are stuck with less-than-hoppy-goodness!)

Oh - and I love the Cyber Beer fest! I will be sure to raise a glass during next weekend, and it will certainly be an Oregon IPA!
