My local breweries have tons of options but the grocery stores only carry their IPAs and at most 1 other variety. Usually a blonde.

Wow, that sounds awful. Happy to live in a place where I can get good beers and a variety of them.
God, I thought I was the only one. relief
Good news OP. It’s almost Jack-O Pumpkin Ale season.
I've switched back to regular old boring Heineken. Gimme something crispy and watery that won't weigh me down at 10am.
I love IPAs, but I do have to wonder why don't they make more varieties.
Disclaimer: im an IPA drinker. But honestly, I will drink almost any style of beer. Just no bretts for me.
I’ve honestly gotten to the point where I’m just buying from my local breweries. I still grab some from the grocery stores, but I’m done hoping the grocery stores will carry the good stuff.
The local grocery that’s supposed to be the “good guys” (they aren’t) gutted their beer aisle and somehow got rid of almost all the good stuff.
I feel lucky. Two great local breweries are as easy to visit as a grocery store run.
They both do classic styles and delicious NEIPA.
And, these two joints aren't even the top breweries in the state per many, many beer snobs. Fuck, Treehouse and Trillium.
Rock it Widowmaker and Long Live!
New England represent!
Even some gas stations have big selections of local craft beer around here.
Wrong. IPAs are delicious and you're not allowed to leave the dinner table until you finish yours.
tastes like ear wax.
That's a new one. I've had people say tire but not earwax.
My local liquor stores carry Killian's Irish Red Ale and I swear by it. It's hearty with a subtle oaty sweetness.
Otherwise maybe look for Sam Adams? Or is that only a Massachusetts thing?
