I love IPAs, but the market is definitely oversaturated with them. And after a while a lot of them just kind of blend together, so over time I've lost interest in trying new ones and mostly just stick to the solid ones I'm familiar with (Bells Two Hearted Ale or Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA) unless there's something truly unique, Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin being a good example.

Along those lines, I wish more microbreweries would put out sessionable beers that still taste good. Despite the variety of styles, it seems like most beers are in the 6%-7% at least, often more. As much as I love a good stout or IPA, sometimes I want something with lighter body in, say, the 4% ABV range. Guinness is my go-to for that reason even though I think it's just fine, not great. Deschutes Black Butte Porter is the best compromise I've found, but is rarely on tap where I live.
