It is the best New England IPA I have ever had. I am not an IPA guy, but it is a really good beer.One of the best NEIPA's I've ever had. Anyone else had this stuff?
I've been slipping on my quest to try as many IPAs as possible and you've given me a good reason to get back on track. Do you know if they sell it at Hy Vee or anywhere else in the Ames area?One of the best NEIPA's I've ever had. Anyone else had this stuff?

Looks like Barntown is in West DM and also has a restaurant. Definitely going to have to check it out.Or Iowa in general?

I don’t think you can even get Tree House in Iowa. I live in the northeast and it is literally impossible to get here. You have to stand in line at the their brewery for an hour or more to get the nectar of the gods....and it is pretty much in the middle of nowhere Massachusetts.It’s good, but I do t think it touches Tree House’s offerings which are tough to get in Iowa but have the best examples of the category I’ve ever had

Believe the style uses an insane amount of hops. Expensive to produce.Had it last night and it us really good but not sure about the $11 price tag per bottle.
I've gotten Tree House through trades pretty regularly.
It's great, obviously, but there are breweries all over the country making that style of IPA at a nearly indistinguishable level. Barn Town is one of them. Pulpit Rock, TG, Alluvial, Forager (Rochester MN) are all also making beers of this caliber in this style, IMO.
Totally agree. Nearly every time I've had a beer that is supposed to be legendary, I've come away a little disappointed. They have always been great beers but you can get locals that are just as good. I've had beers like Heady Topper/Focal Banger, Pliny the Elder, Zombie Dust, Hill Farmstead stuff, Maine Beer Co. stuff, Other Half stuff, etc. Although most of the big legendary stouts I've had have lived up to the hype.
