I've heard that about their growth to quality ratio suffering. The beer was excellent, though. I'm looking forward to another bottle of it later this week.
Sleigh'r and Maiden The Shade were what made me want to try Ninkasi in the first place a few years ago and I'll be keeping my eyes peeled on order sites for them for sure.

look for terminal gravity's IPA as well. i don't know if you can get terminal gravity out there, but i doubt it seriously if you can't get ninkasi. it's a much smaller brewery, although pretty popular out here. their IPA is one of the defining northwest IPA's in my opinion.

Had one of these the other night. Gonna have another tonight. It's tremendous.
Also picking up some Schlafly Tasmanian IPA today and my friend got me a six pack of Three Floyds' Alpha King while he was out of town which I'm sooooo excited for.
Unibroue makes good beer.
