Let them have their fun. It's like medical marijuana. Did it stay in bud form? Hell no - they had to make 90% THC concentrated wax that you have to heat with a blow torch in order to consume.

Pushing the envelope is the natural progression and evolution of anything. Craft beer is no exception, and IPAs certainly aren't the only exception. You have 5-6% stouts, and then you have 13% double chocolate oatmeal imperial stout aged in kentucky bourbon barrels with fucking pecans added. Care for a nicely spiced belgian ale? Fuck that, here's a 16% octupel ale brewed with monk piss. Porter? Just double the grain bill and put "baltic" in the name.

If you don't like hop forward beers, that's fine, but don't pretend like it's the only style of beer that has been whored out by radical memers.
