I actually find that it's really hard to pick a beer when I'm confronted with all the options: it would be a lot easier if a store just carried a lager and IPA and a stout (provided that the said beers were actually good)

I think that's an instructive example of how different vendors cater to different markets.

A good restaurant or non beer-focused bar might have a curated selection of one or two examples of each style. Their customers just want something good to pair with their food.

But go to a good bottle shop or beer bar and you'll find sub-styles within sub-styles. Want an IPA? Will that be West Coast or New England? Double or single? Fruit adjuncts? OK, Which fruits? Beer geeks will seek out places with these choices.

Pubs are like that (they might carry 3-4 beers), but lots of times I drink stuff I don't like because I don't like any of the particular brands.

Choice is good, sometimes. :-)
