When I homebrewed a decade ago I found the same thing, everyone was all about making hop-bombs and it seemed like malt-forward beers or anything that wasn't high IBU was like second-class beer. I don't know how if that scene has really changed or not but it seemed to me like everyone was just trying to make bigger, stronger, more alcoholic brews.
Kölsch and Hefeweizen are good. Altbier would be nice, too. Czech pilsners, bitters, milk stouts -- I enjoy most of them, but rarely see them at craft brewers.
I just checked Abe Erb's list, and the selection looks pretty good. Given that Abe Erb is also in DTK, I think I can make that my destination once my current beer inventory runs low.
