Really sorry you feel that way bud. Honestly, I totally get it — IPAs are way over-represented in the craft beer scene, especially in CA where I'm at. However, their prominence has led to a really interesting market of new IPAs that use brand new styles of hops, or hops that traditionally have been unavailable in the US market. For example, hops from New Zealand have made their way to the US and now that the trendiness of "magic mystery" hops from another place has died down, some beers made with them are just fantastic and taste nothing like the IPSs of yesteryear.
I totally get being tired out of an extremely prominent style, but I'd encourage you to seek out some brews made with new hops as some of them are just very different and exciting. Of course, there's tons of other beer out there that's not an IPA, so by all means please continue to explore those spaces too!
