This is even the case in my homebrewing, in one hand an all grain 10% ABV, 70+ IBU Imperial Stout while in the other hand a mostly extract kit Special Bitter that is 3.8 ABV and 40 IBU. There will always be room for a well crafted session ale in the world of extreme brewing.

Beers are kind of like celebrities. If you aren't memorable, you aren't going to make it. Being extreme is just part of the game of making it to the bigs. I heart extreme beers.

For example, if brewing and tax records are to be believed 18th century India Pale Ales would have been anywhere from 7% - 10% ABV and a whopping 75-100+ IBUs. Sounds suspiciously like an extreme Double IPA to me... It is interesting to consider that many of the so-called “extreme” beers are actually throwbacks to older styles.
