Now we've gone back to consolidation, with only two companies in the entire world, and only one kind of beer

Wat? We did? When did this happen?

Where I live there are microbreweries all over the place. As far as I can see we are still in the golden era and it’s only getting better.

I'm in the PNW and it's just shitty IPA's everywhere. I also seem to get judged every time I ask if there's a stout, or really any dark beer, on tap.

Even going to visit other areas with more microbreweries around, there are more options... still wading through IPA's though.

Edit: while I'm at it, sour beers suck.

Yeah, IPAs are way too popular. The issue is the people who "like IPAs" aren't willing to try anything else. They'll try a hazy or double IPA, even though those are very different from a west coast IPA, but they won't try the saison, barleywine, or anything else. It forces breweries to cater to them because more adventurous beer drinkers will still drink an IPA.

It's better where I am (VA), but IPAs still rule. There's one brewery in particular that has somewhere around 20 taps, but there's only at most 10 non-IPAs, usually fewer. I don't go there very often.

Same here and everywhere I visit in the US. One brewery will have 5 different IPAs. And the people in the comments here - "There's variety! The stores are full of different IPAs!"
