Ask a guy what is good/popular that ISN'T an IPA. Tell him what mainstream beer you like, go from his recommendations. Use beer advocate.
80% of the craft beer out there is shitty IPAs, so that just leaves you with the other 20%, and half of those are poorly done hefeweizens and tripels. So there you go! Also, be warned most of the craft breweries out there are fly-by-night charlatans that back-sweeten their beers and rely on snob value and "gorilla marketing".
Once you have drank enough of it, you will switch to European heritage brews.
