A bit OT, but I've still got 2x bottles of 2012.... no idea when I'm going to drink them.

I would also assume that the Sam Adams Oktoberfest is going to replace the Sam Adams product they currently carry.
Maybe Heineken is being swapped out for the Fat Tire Belgian White (not to be confused with regular Fat Tire). Seems like they both have the same target market: People Whose Taste Buds Don't Work So Good.

I doubt AA is going to carry two IPAs and it's a real shame that they're swapping out a good IPA for a Budweiser IPA.

This is the only other time I found either beer really listed otherwise which had Goose at 8 (which I 100% don't agree with).

I'm just curious where you can see the list because I personally like Goose better but if there is a list I can see the ranking that'd be cool.

I'm just curious, where are you finding this ranking? I read through the first 5 or 6 results for a google search of "ranked IPA"s and the below link was the only one I could find with the two compared. Voodoo received a score of 92 and Goose a 91 so not much of a difference...

For example, Voodoo Ranger has an average score of 3.68 while Goose IPA has an average score of 3.54.
For the other beers available on AA: Heineken is 2.92. Miller Lite is 2.43. Bud Light 2.27. Corona 3.06. Not sure if they have those beers or not. I don't drink them (unless that's all there is and they are free!).
If you're a beer nerd, it's a fun app to have!

I use the app UNTAPPD. It keeps track of what beers you've had, where you had them and what score (1-5) you gave them. It also keeps track of the average score worldwide. Additionally, for IPAs it also shows the IBU (hoppiness) of the beer.
For example, Voodoo Ranger has an average score of 3.68 while Goose IPA has an average score of 3.54.

Sam Adams Swapped For Angry Orchard Dec 2018
While flying this week saw that they swapped Angry Orchard Hard Cider in for the seasonal Sam Adams in the inflight menus.
Makes sense as Boston Beer Company owns both brands, just interesting as other than JetBlue I’ve never seen another airline carry cider.
Of course catering doesn’t seem to have caught up. Out of LAX, PHL and DFW this week still plenty of Sam Adams and no Angry Orchard yet.

I immigrated to the US back in 96 and ended up in the Boston area and grew rather fond of Harpoon IPA. I then moved to CO and then AZ, so no chance of getting Harpoon in those states (furthest West I’ve found it was Austin, TX) so pre 311 I’d always load 2 6 packs of Harpoon IPA into my hand luggage if I ever found myself having to travel to MA for business.
