If you can find it try their "Double Trouble" or "Redanculous" IPA's. Both are amazing and even better than "Centenial" IMO.
Even more bitter, fuller or ?
They are both Double IPA's, so yea more hopppy and higher alcohol content. Double Trouble is basically Founders counter to Bell's Hopslam if you have ever had it. Not quite the same level, but close IMO. Redanculous is fairly new and just came out earlier this year. It is a Red Double IPA and is amazing IMO.
For balance, flavor, and overall "drinkability" I have yet to find an IPA that surpasses Bell's Two-Hearted.

Having a Trillium galaxy dry hopped Fort Point Pale Ale on a very steamy deck. This brewery is flat out superb, I'd put them up against anyone. Yes even Bells 2 Hearted (which I adore)

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
As I have mentioned before, since I live in Kalamazoo, I take Two Hearted a bit for granted since it is so available here, and I literally drink it all the time, but I agree it is a great IPA.
I wish they were open on Sunday. I made a trip for nada.

Looking forward to my day in court.

I'm really Lovin this Founders Porter:
Clown Shoes Imperial Stout brewed in Rum barrels 11.7%, superb

Banded Horn Daikaiju DIPA 8.7 %, super hoppy, piney, citrusy, nuts but very nice

Yup, Founders Porter is totally solid!I'm really Lovin this Founders Porter:
I sampled the Clown Shoes Galactia IPA tonight, very delicious as described in that menu I posted.
Clown Shoes Imperial Stout brewed in Rum barrels 11.7%, superb
How was the Troegs? Sounded wonderful on the menu.
I had a Nimble Giant at my local the other day, I'd say very good not great.

I liked it a lot, and I think the description is good. For my taste, it's better than the Perpetual, but I like the citrus edge.
The Stone/Dogfish/Victory Saison is likely my favorite of that style.
No photo to share, but visiting Flagstaff for a day at Lowell Observatory, took the family to dinner at Satchmo's for some cajun, they served Historic Undercover Cucumber Lager on tap there. Paired well with the jambalaya, nice little change of pace from my usual stouts-n-porters diet...
From their web site:
UNDERCOVER CUCUMBER
Summertime Lager
It’s that time of the year again, you know, when you want to kick back with a gorgeous and refreshing summertime lager… with some god damned cucumbers over your eyes. That’s right. There is always time for beautification, right? No need to be embarrassed about a little cucumber, basil and orange peel in your beer. It will be okay. Why? Because this beer is freakin’ delicious AND just as refreshing as a day at the spa. Say hello to the oncoming summertime and enjoy the Undercover Cucumber.
5.2% ABV / 26 IBU

A question for those of you who are on the Untappd app: Do you only check in your brews drank on tap, or do you also do the same for bottled & canned beer? I've only been rating beers that have been drank at brewerys & taverns (as well as growlers purchased at same.) Just curious.
I generally rate everything I drink in pubs and also add stuff at home if its the first time I'm drinking it.

To clarify : I only check in draft or growler beers.
Really love this one. Pine needles, maple syrup and grapefruit are the most noticeable flavours. Quite floral and bitter finish, but not overwhelmingly so.
