Acme IPA, Full Sail IPA, Anderson Valley IPA (aka Hop Otten, for some reason!), Stone IPA, Redhook IPA, Lagunitas IPA, Leatherlips IPA. Do you see a theme here? I love IPAs!
You must be very desciplined to only 'taste' 150 beers. What do you do with the rest of the bottles?

Oh, my God, where does one begin!?!?!. For me I would say just about any microbrewery's or brewpub's amber ale, bitter ale, pale ale and India pale ale, especially those in the northeastern, northwestern, northern California, central Great Lakes and mid Rocky Mountain parts of the USA. They must total in the hundreds. In Canada I've loved Vancouver Ales (from Victoria, not Vancouver!). Labatt 50 and Alex Keith's IPA are Ok for what they are (lighter tasting without a lot of hoppiness but still full bodied).

If you can get hold of some "Dickie Pierce" brewed in Berkeley that would be a good. Its named after the castle jester.
Any of the Uley beers are good. "Old spot" is nice, named after a local breed of pig.
"BOB" by the Wickwar brewing company is quite good
"Freeminer" from the Forest of Dean should knock your socks off..
You really need to get down to Gloucestershire and try some of these.

Get the Real Ale Almanac, it's a bit out of date but it does have a massive list of breweries and beers all across the country, it is published by CAMRA.
