It is quite odd, the dominance of IPA. I wasn't aware of it until I walked in Rodman's in NW Washington, DC, and found that what appeared to be 80% of the American beer offerings were IPAs of one sort another.

They are easy to brew and hide fermentation or sanitation defects well.

I don't get out to too many taprooms anymore, but I used to be in the habit of ordering their pils or lager first, since it's much harder to hide the quality behind the hops. Generally speaking, breweries that have good beers of those styles are good across the board, while those that don't have a lot more variance.

And even more so in the Pacific Northwest, relatively close to the hop-growing area in central WA, and full of small craft breweries.
