It's still mostly true. I like either piss water or toxic sludge but can't stand IPAs (I loathe the taste of hops) and my choices in microbrews are always very limited. If there are a dozen IPAs there will be maybe two lagers and single thing that pretends to be "dark". As I understand it, it's economics and experience. IPAs are fast to brew, and there are options for adjusting the flavor if you screw it up. Lagers and stouts take longer and are very prone to simply failing with no way to "fix" it when it does.
