it's that time of year

I have no idea what any of those words mean
Shipyard Pumpkin ale is better than a latte and almost as good as a yummy NEIPA.
A new craft brewery opens, the beer list is 3 IPAs, a double hopped IPA, a triple, and a bowl of hops spritzed with bitrex.
Yes OP you are very unique and smart.
Oh, is that what they are? I thought they were just bottled cat piss...
Breweries just don't want to invest the time and effort it takes to brew good porters, baltics, stouts and barkeywines anymore. Where are the dubbels and triples and red ales? Scotch ale, ever heard of it? What happened to the variety? Laziness and cost cutting. Nothing but bitter piss as far as the eye can see. I quit drinking over a year ago, but sometimes I think I'd like a beer, till I look at the wall of IPAs that passes for a beer isle. Then the urge is gone.
I can take you to my local beer store in suburban Pittsburgh and show you each style you listed, alongside fruit sours, goses, and a pretty incredible variety of ciders. Pittsburgh is a hard drinking town, but I don't think our craft beer scene is leaps and bounds ahead of other similarly-sized cities. What that tells me is that the beer you (used to) want is there if you look and that you're more bitter than the 2x NEIPA that you're railing against.
