Oh, absolutely!!!!! Especially recently, with all the microbrews. Reno
alone has probably 150-15 microbreweries. I haven't counted in awhile.

Lots of differences:
The amount you roast the barley. (More roasting leads to darker
beers, though not necessarily stronger.)
The /amount/ of barley and other forms of sugar. (Ultimately, the
barley is just a source of sugar for the yeasties.)
The type of yeast you use.
The type and amounts of hops you use.
When and how you add the hops.
Various adjuncts can be used - water hardeners and softeners, clarity
agents, additional flavorants...
Many things I've left out.
There is pretty much an infinite number of variations...

So as a mostly bone dry tee-totaler, what is the difference between
these different types of beers? I hear IPAs are bitter. No clue as
to how it would differ from a stout or ale or etc etc. I thought
they were all barley, yeast and water?

I just tried that Temptress last week – it was almost a dessert beer,
what with the mint and vanilla flavors. Surprisingly good – very
drinkable and not overly sweet. Normally a more hoppy (IPA, Imperial
IPA, etc.) beer fan, but a good stout is always worthwhile.

Probably not up your alley, but just tried the Big Bad Baptist last
weekend. Imperial Stout out of Utah with a 100 on RateBeer. It lived
up to the hype. One of the best I've had in a while. The only ones
that come close are Clown Shoes Brewery's Blaecorn Unidragon (Russian
Imperial Stout), and Lakewood's Temptress (Imperial Milk Stout).
Mmmm....is it quitin' time yet?
