It’s insane. I swear that some liquor stores I go to have a craft beer section that’s 90% IPAs… and another 5% that are basically IPAs with cutesy names like “Super Duper Pale Ale.”
Had the same thought to myself at the Sprouts today. All I wanted was a stout. Not even a Guinness anywhere, but an entire wall of IPA’s and then the rest were hard seltzers.
Stop making so many mediocre IPAs. Other styles do exist.

IPAs are the easiest to make, that’s why every small brewery makes one
The problem is they’re mediocre
Sometimes mediocre will become better with time. If they do not make it mediocre they will likely make none rather than make outstanding right away.
Idk if that’s true, they oxidize easily. I would say brown ales or pale ales would be easier. IPAs sell, that’s why every small brewery has one
Pale ales are easier and cheaper to make than IPAs. They make IPAs because they are popular, not because they are easy.
