I like IPA and there's like 3-4 very distinct sort of IPAs. There's a imperial IPA from a local craft around me that's almost caramel dark and people might not even call an IPA on a blind taste test.

But, I must agree it's kinda silly theres 2-3 IPAs in the craft section for every other type most places. I tend to buy the IPAs when I buy craft beer (outside of making a trip to the really big selection places) because the only other craft options are like "bland blonde #82 from probably owned by Budweiser brewery" or "ale that tastes like spoiled Newcastle". Sometimes they have dales pale ale in a few different labels for more money.

Craft beer has just become a shit show at retailers for me. No one carries any of the cans I like anymore. I have to go far out of my way to buy anything I actually want. Fortunately I live 15ish minutes from a downtown with a half dozen good breweries that have 10+ beers on tap year round. I'm not a bar/brewery person and I wish I could get cans to drink at home still though.

IPAs must be "babbies first brew" in terms of difficulty while a decent lager or stout is the Dark Souls of brewmasters.
