'some'?

Sometimes it's tough to find anything on offer between 10IBU and 60IBU, both of which are not to my palate.

IBU, now that is a term I haven't seen in ages.

It's a really bad way to describe a beer since different ways of producing the liquid can either make bitterness more or less pronounced. Also, 10 - 60? That is literally everything except for Double IPAs, which are above that. This is why the measurement is worthless.

Every brewery seems to have beers between 50 and 70; with one lone version of miller light at 10.

None of those beers appeals to me.

Again, not only are you wrong about selection, but most breweries don't advertise their IBUs so I don't know where you are getting those numbers.

Wow, I stand corrected, u/atree496 said that the last ten brewpubs I visited didn't all suffer from the exact same problem, and he's on the internet and says he knows.
