India Pale Ale, great beer or the greatest beer?

My two local favorites:

1. Monkeynaut made by Straight to Ale in Huntsville, AL

2. Snake Handler made by Good People Brewing in Birmingham, AL. Double IPA that's either 9.3% ABV or slightly over 10%, their labels have changed and I can't recall which.
