I can find seasonal brews that are great. But it's limited selection. Like... the bitter they make once a year for 3 weeks. Or the brown ale, or the dark lager they make in December...

but 12/12 it's 10 nasty IPAs, a flavorless lager, and some fruited up candy sour/stout. Everytime I find someone really nice... i go back two weeks later to the store and it's gone forever.

i used to drink 1-2 packs per week, now I do like 2 a month because 90% what's on the market is nasty and lazy. They put all the effort into weird names and elaborate art on the labels... and very little into the actual beer.

You just have shitty breweries near you, I guess. The ones near me do a variety of pale ales but also lagers, wheat beers, marzen, bock, etc.
