That sucks. It was like that here in the US about 5 years ago with IPAs. Every micro brewery made like 10 IPAs and nothing else. They are still the most prevalent style but there is a noticeable shift toward making lagers or less hoppy ales the past few years and it's been a really nice change.
I hope we'll see that soon as well. I've been mostly into malty, full-bodied varieties, and recently also sour beers and gose. Those have started to appear in stores, but not reliably. It feels like they're testing the waters, and are cycling through brands quickly, so once you find a favorite, it's already gone. Hopefully it'll stabilize with a decent selection of all types.
