And what IPAs does he typically enjoy?
Is it west coast (Lagunitas, Stone) or is he on the NEIPA Hazy Train?
Quick look at BeerMenus lists Haworth Wine & Spirits-
They have a nice selection of the NEIPAs, but sell by the can, so it’ll be a little pricey. From their list, I like Foreign Objects and Fat Orange Cat.
Woodcliff Lake Wine & Liquor also has a nice selection of NEIPAs, and does 4 or 6 packs, so pricing will be better.
Good selection of Industrial Arts there.
Craft 303 over the border in Tappan, NY also has a nice selection (small, but good) but mostly by the can, so a little more. Here Grimm is the go-to.
But as Germy said, check freshness.
Most NEIPAs will have canning dates on them, pass if more than a month old. Especially if they are on the shelf.
