In the UK the most well-known "craft" breweries like Brewdog and Thornbridge tend to produce cheaper, watery IPAs whose quality is then further compromised by sitting on warm supermarket shelves for months on end. The high-end microbrews from Verdant and Deya on the other hand can comfortably hold their own against the best of US brewing.
My personal experience is that many well-known IPA brewers from the US have managed to scale better without conpromising their product too much. Sierra Nevada, Oskar Blues and Stone still produce some excellent west coast IPAs that you can actually buy from supermarkets. Over here quality IPAs have all but disappeared from supermarket shelves. Luckily most non-shithole towns in Bongland will have at least one decent bottle shop so it's not too much of a problem.
