Haven't been to Portland yet. However my trip to Santa Rosa was amazing

Was surprised to see the Oklahoma ranking. Figured we'd be at the bottom of the list. Have seen Prairie Artisinal on the shelves but have passed them up. Will have to taste what all the fuss is about.
Wisconsin not in the top 5... Not to say Oregon doesn't have good beer. But, just because you have the most breweries does not mean you are the best beer state.
I am seriously calling shenanigans on this.
You should visit...then you'd know.
I should just delete my original post, I was being hyperbolic and joking
As I said above if I was going to move out of Wisconsin, I would pick Portland/surrounding suburbs of Portland as where I would want to move to for a myriad number of reasons including the delicious beer. Just home-town syndrome that I think Wisconsin shouldve at least been in the top 5 (not in any way suggesting Wisconsin is better than Oregon).
Hell, I want to move there just so anytime I say Oregon the natives will say to me "You must be from Wisconsin" (cause of my 'accent', aka midwestern, the only language anyone can understand).

Aside from Lexington, Louisville and the Newport area, Kentucky doesn't have a lot going on period. With that said, I would sure like to see the brothers at the Trappist abbey at Gethsemani make some beer, but I guess they are too busy with the super yummy fudge and cheese.I'm honestly surprised KY made it as high as it did (which admittedly still isn't very high). Aside from a handful of breweries in Lexington and Louisville, the rest of the state doesn't have much going on, and distribution is fairly limited at that. Makes me sad for those behind us.
I saw this.
As a Maryland resident, I'm going to disagree with this. We've got some damn good breweries here.
They discuss Flying Dog, which is good stuff...don't get me wrong. However, we've got Burley Oak, Clipper City, The Brewer's Art, Baltimore-Washington Beer Works, Peabody, Fin City, Heavy Seas, Monocacy Brewing, DuClaw...
Maryland is getting some good stuff.
Virginia is also getting a Stone down in Norfolk/Va Beach area.

Most everybody is going to argue that their state is the best.
I hate the Oregon Ducks, but I love Oregon beer! I've been an Oregonian for my entire life. Its beautiful (coast, mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, high deserts, etc., all in about an hour's drive) and the beer is fantastic. From the small Belgian Farmhouse "Agrarian" to the big boys like Rogue, Ninkasi, etc. Hop Valley has been growing and makes great beer. I am planning to open a brewery here in June 2016 and can't wait to be a part of the brewing scene.
Although, I don't have a beard, so I plan to change that stereotype

This article is stupid. I've never had a good beer from Christian Moerlin. Where is Jackie Os, Columbus Brewing Co, & Brew Kettle??
How could they forget Anheiser
Hey, by then used equipment should be really cheap!
Right? Hopefully the fad won't be over when I open. I like what the head brewer from Boneyard said when a reporter asked him when the "craft beer thing" will be over. He said something to the tone of."I don't know, go ask the owner of Starbucks when the coffee thing is going to be over." I think there will be a solid market for beer for a while. Now if prohibition came back...
I know what you mean! I will actually be located in the Corvallis/Albany area. There are some breweries there, and same story as with Eugene. I will make better beer... ok, well, the customer will decide that.
When they completely glossed over something like Heavy Seas I stopped reading. The list is total crud.
Unfortunately, quality of beer is only a small part of the puzzle. Making good beer is easy...selling it is hard. FWIW, I live as close to Corvallis as I do to Eugene. Lemme know when you open and I'll drop in!
