Oddly this doesn't surprise me at all - I figured IPA's were popular because it was a relatively easy way to make a consistent small batch product.

I'm not really a beer person, but when I am its usually Coors Banquet or Pacifico, both of which I find tasty and refreshing (particularly on a hot day, with BBQ or Mexican). I also love Yuengling when I'm in the area for it, its the only beer I've gone out of my way to order.
