There is no denying that the real “King Of Beers” is the mighty IPA. As craft beer continues to eat macro-beer’s market share, one style, and one style alone, reigns above all others – the IPA. There are literally thousands of IPA options to choose from at this point, from breweries across the country. And every state has their favorite. So we scraped data from RateBeer to determine the top IPA in every state. In order to qualify, the beer had to have at least 50 ratings, and score above 50. As you’ll see below, two states sadly didn’t make the cut…
