There seems to be a ressurgence of IPA's in the Pacific Northwest and I'm not complaining. It does take me longer to decide what to buy though as I want to try everything. Lots of beers from smaller breweries. Some better than others but all better than Budweiser. It's a great time if you like IPA's which I do and drink exclusively and have for decades.

Not fair really
As a lager aficionado
They are so few lagers I’m lucky if the local breweries have two

Yeah a good lager will be harder to come by. Same thing with a decent Pilsner which I'll drink in the summer if you can find one.
I'm just happy that there are less and less fruit beers on the shelves. All these Pineapple Porters, Raspberry Pale, etc...

Yeah some IPA's can be a little too hard core for some and I can understand. Keeps people from drinking my beer though as many of my friends don't like IPA's either. I usually have a six pack of Coors Light on hand for company. In fact there's a couple cans in the back of the refrigerator right now that have been there for months. I'm not drinking them that's for sure.
I used to get a beer from Rogue Brewing called Brutal Bitter. That one was a little much for me but I still drank it. Last time I had it was at their brewpub in downtown Portland. It wasn't the same as it was from a decade before. It was toned down to appeal to a wider range of palates.

My favorite at the moment.Did my daily walk a little while ago. Got pretty wet as it was raining and I stopped along the way to get the flavor of the day. It's got some bitterness with 80 IBU so definitely not a good choice for those that don't care for IPA's.
ABV: 7.0% IBU: 80
This and Lucille from Georgetown.

You have damn good taste. I've had Lucille as well. It's a damn fine IPA.

Recently sold my stainless setup (fermenter and kettle) to buy a new tent and COBs.
Have about 50 home brews under my belt.
Make nice Xmas gifts.
Bought 6 gallons of juice out in Hillsboro Saturday and just started a hard cider in a glass carboy.
For you lagerheads...
... and you non IPA drinkers looking for a little heft ...

Widmer Hefe is a good wheat ale, hazy and chewy.
Prefer it to the German style which has a weird phenol taste to me.
