We're beyond the peak from a critical view. Most innovation from brewers today is coming in terms of marketing or making numbers go up (loading up on ABV or IBUs), while seemingly treating flavor as secondary. I'm definitely not saying no one is making good new beer anymore, just that the improvements from the ~80s-00s has slowed down.
