Just the other day, I was having a bite and a beer at the Barking Dog Alehouse near my house. I often order the Boundary Bay IPA but, to my dismay, they didn't have it on tap. A friend of mine recommended the replacement for the time: Racer 5 IPA. Holy hoppy goodness, what a fantastic IPA! Has anyone had it? Where's the brewery? Highly recommended.
Cheers!

Ahh, the Barking Dog. Fantastic pub! Great food and awesome beer selection.
The Race 5 is great IPA. Their brewery (Bear Republic) is actually down in Healdsburg. We stumbled across it on our last Sonoma trip. After a a couple of days of tasting, it was nice to refresh the palate with a burger and beer!

Been to Bear Republic in downtown Healdsburg a few times, highly recommend a visit. Actually had a couple Racer 5 pints while bowling in nearby Windsor last Thursday.

If you like IPA seek out Dogfish Head. They make a 60 minute which is fantastic. A 90 minute which is my favorite beer, and a 120 minute which I can't afford.

Thanks for the reco, Bosis. I'll definitely do that. Are they Oregon? In any case, every IPA I have is compared to Boundary Bay IPA: they've set my high water mark at this point.
Cheers!
