I’d be pissed, except craft beer brewies, are generally yuppie shitheads. And I don’t drink.

I can't understand why stouts aren't more common. You can find 1000 IPAs or beer with random fruit in it but stouts are still really under-appreciated

Just a wild guess here but do stouts cost more in time/effort/resources?

Stouts cost more in grain costs and are typically higher in abv unless it's a double IPA etc. Yeasts also take longer to grow I assume. Home brewing takes two bags of yeast unless you do a starter and make your own.

Stouts take like 3 months and IPAs can be done in a few weeks. I can't remember the ingredient costs.

Stouts are ales, and those are done in a couple weeks. It’s lagers that take months.

Not any more effort at all. Stouts have less hops so is cheaper than an IPA to make. The alcohol percentage dictates how much grain is used, so the more alcohol the more it costs to make. Yeast is cheap.

IIRC it's because stouts are far easier to screw up. IPAs are common because the insane level of hops covers up any 'off' flavors.

Maybe. I only made stout once and it turned out actually amazing. Deception Cream Stout.
