Local stores around me: Only cheap domestics and Mexican imports, sometimes Red Stripe or XX Amber, take it or leave it.
Hope it's local and craft though.
Often not, actually. There are some relatively local and craft-y brands, but a lot of the time it's imports or local industrial brewers like Beck's trying to capitalize on the hype.
Granted, if I lived 500km to the southeast, I'd probably complain that every craft beer is bavarian weissbier or helles - those are local, craft (bavaria has a ton of small breweries) and at least not quite as offensive to my tastebuds as pale ale, but still fairly boring.
Come on in! We have:
- IPA
- Session IPA
- Double IPA
- Black IPA
- Imperial IPA
- Triple IPA
- West Coast IPA
- New England IPA
- Hazy IPA
- Juicy IPA
- Imperial West Coast IPA
- Imperial Juice England IPA
- I̶m̵p̶e̸r̴i̵a̷l̴ H̷a̸z̷y̵ B̵l̸a̶c̶k̸ s̸e̸s̷s̸i̷o̴n̴ IPA

That's like totally rad. Also I want to try a Black IPA again, the one time I did it was with an IPA bro, so I had to listen to him say it was "bad" because it was not a hazy.
Also to add so more to the list:
•DDH IPA
•Cryo Hopped IPA
•Milkshake IPA
•NA IPA
•NA DDH IPA
•Grapfruit IPA
•Sour IPA
and then there are Lagers (yuck 🤢 🤮)
IPA fans are nearly on the same level as vegans
The really bad ones are for sure. My roommate knows I like and carry a variety of nice craft beer and he asks me if "I have an IPA" everytime stead of a beer. Then one time he came home and went into my room drunk while I was playing on the PC and asked me if I had "any IPA's instead of those AWFUL STOUTS?".
Also I have another friend that loves Definitive brewing but hates Allagash because he really only cares for IPA's. He told me when he visits again that we can go to Allagash but he won't get anything. The dudes had like 3 beers from them once.
When my new?
Okay grammer isn't my strong suit. I'll try and do better.
I'll fix it after work.
you’re
Fixed

I won't drink a beer that is called lame beak. Are you kidding me? A beer named goose? Is it egg-flavored? I'm sticking with my laijer.
OMG a brewery near me literally has a beer called "A beer named Duck"
