Hey man, cool website… I'm glad to see you mentioning the beers of the west coast. I feel like the beers here (and especially in the Pacific Northwest) really are a notch above what's available on the east coast. Way better than just Sam Adams, I mean don't get me wrong there are definitely some favorites on the east coast, just I feel like the culture out here is more about people who consume and appreciate good beer. Thus most bars and restaurants tend to have a large variety on tap and many local favorites.
You should definitely visit out here (Seattle) if you haven't been yet, there are many great breweries. Also Portland is home to many too.

Personally i'm not a big fan of the bitterness in IPAs, but there certainly are plenty out here.

Ah – the ubiquitous IPA. It is as if after the long duration of lack luster pale American lagers, Americans have gone hog-wild for that hoppity goodness.

I like mine mild; all these double IPAs tend to be a bit to face-suckingly bitter for my taste.
