Not ragging on the West coast..
I grew up in north Texas, and for the first 5-6 years of my drinking experience the only real "local" beers that i could buy easily would be Shiner, i could get a decent variety of west coast beers, but a lot of non BMC beer would have to be imports.
I moved to Atlanta 6 years ago and have been in beer variety heaven. the whole SE corridor seems to just be chock-a-block of small breweries, from N Florida to upstate NY. I cant say what the beer culture in TX is now(it might also help that I am more socially active, but anyways) , but I never had so many people be so well informed and interested in a local, micro and craft beer scene.
