So I've decided to become a beer snob

Not that I'd ever stop drinking a good bourbon or whiskey, but like many people in life, my taste buds have evolved.
Anyway, I've bought a couple 90 minute DF head IPAs and absolutely love them. Anytime you can drink a couple beers and feel like everything in the world is right and relax after a stressful day is alright by me. Been looking for the 120 but no luck so far.
With that said, I would appreciate any of you lungers/beer snobs pointing me in the right direction of some other good brews, and let me know if there's a collective or list I can acquire to build an inventory. Tia.

drink good tequila, vodka & bourbon. But beer is my thing.
Just hang around in the Lunge there's me and plenty of my fellow beer geeks always posting in here.
I will say this, if you started out with 90 Minute and looking for 120 you went from 0 to 60 fast lol.
Enjoy the journey.

ty kind sir. I've been known to handle alcohol pretty well. So, it's not surprising I'd want to step it up a notch and go for the "good" stuff early on in my endeavors. My wife's cousins drinks every day (cheap stuff) and you'd think it was his first time, every time. Love that guy!

A good stout is also good every now and again. Usually can't do more than 1 at a time

But in terms of day to day, easily available, smooth IPA, it's a very good option. Probably one of my favorites to keep around.

Pretty much anything brewed by "Plank Road Brewery".

Icehouse really is there mainstay, but Icehouse Edge will do in a pinch.
Just kidding of course. One should only drink Natural Light. Cause that Natty still feels good even 6 months later!

Be sure to try out some Belgian tripels and quadruples.

You have the dubbel, the tripel, and the quad. The level of complexity generally goes up from dubbel to quad, as does the ABV. One of my favorite tripels that is pretty easy to find is Westmalle. #### good beer. I also love the Duvel... I think it's technically a Belgian Pale Ale, but I always sort it out by the 8.5% ABV. Welcome to beer snobbery!

DFH will always have a special place in my heart, and their 90 is hard to beat. I would encourage you to try the 120, but if you are like me, you might find it underwhelming (same with their 75). It's not that it's bad, but just different than what I was expecting. Love their Punkin Ale too come fall.
You'll probably find yourself setting on a specific style or two. I do IPA's 8 out of 10 times, with a Belgian and something I just want to try filling out the other two.
Doubles and Imperials are usually outstanding. One of my favorites is Great Lakes Chillwave, but it's unlikely to be found this way.
