Thought I was on r/bartenders for a minute there :)

Wisconsin here and grocery stores here sell pretty much anything your alcoholic mind can think of

Try Sour Monkey

My local liquor stores carry Killian's Irish Red Ale and I swear by it. It's hearty with a subtle oaty sweetness.

Otherwise maybe look for Sam Adams? Or is that only a Massachusetts thing?

Disclaimer: im an IPA drinker. But honestly, I will drink almost any style of beer. Just no bretts for me.

I’ve honestly gotten to the point where I’m just buying from my local breweries. I still grab some from the grocery stores, but I’m done hoping the grocery stores will carry the good stuff.

The local grocery that’s supposed to be the “good guys” (they aren’t) gutted their beer aisle and somehow got rid of almost all the good stuff.

I'm happy with the number of varieties of ciders and perris for sale here. And some nice wines, these days. Sometimes the trick is to switch from beer.

Good news OP. It’s almost Jack-O Pumpkin Ale season.

Seems like OP only goes to shitty bars that only have bud light and lagunitas IPA on tab. Get a Hop Passport and explore the local scene https://www.hoppassport.com/ (assuming you are in the US)

I love IPAs, but I do have to wonder why don't they make more varieties.
