I'd saw off my leg for my grocery store to start carrying something besides shitty IPA's and Budweiser (lemmy.ml)

Depends where you live. Areas with a smaller craft brew scene do end up with the "nothing but IPA" problem. But where I live in the PNW there's simply so damn many that even with 50% of them being IPA's, you still get a huge selection of other pilsners, stouts, amber ales, hefenweizens... its pretty nice.

About 10 years ago it was probably closer to 80% IPAs. It was a big joke here that IPA stands for I Pretend (I'm not an) Alcoholic.

The only reason there is more on the market now is because we all stopped pretending the taste of motor oil with grapefruit gave us a better buzz.

Even now, most breweries will only seem to offer 4 varieties of IPAs, a pilsner/lager and a stout. Maybe an Amber but I feel the Mac & Jack's copycat scene has mostly died out now.

I work for a brewery in Portland, and we'd like to make over varieties, but hazys and IPAs are what sell.

Nailed it.

"Welcome! We have 30 beers on tap."

And dark beers?

"We have this single India pale ale."
