This is fairly accurate. Especially for the hazy ipas.....other half, fidens, treehouse, beer tree, finback, etc all make great hazies that are fairly interchangeable. Even locally here in central md, breweries like sapwood and crooked crab are putting out high abv (>7%) hazies that are right up there with the "more prominent" breweries. Where i find the most noticeable difference in quality is with barrel aged stouts. Not as many putting out ba stouts that I'll go out of my way to buy.
