Top 10 Beer states

[Shooter]

Ok fine, I really meant to say NY is number #1!!! Seriously, I'd give it to Colorado if we only judged craft. My favorite brewpub though is actually in NY, and its not even close to local for me so I'm not just going off of frequency of visits.

NY #1, are you crazy!!!!!

You west coasters sure know how to make beer, but just don't know how to drink it. :cross:

Too busy putting other things in their mouths!

Well,once again,another reason Ohio sucks...

Too busy putting other things in their mouths!

"Only steers and queers are from Texas..." well you get the rest

West Coast for the Trifecta !!!! :rockin:

West Coast for the Trifecta !!!! :rockin:

The West Coast is like...it's like...it's like the West Coast of the beer world!

I think you could easily do a craft brew pub crawl from Seattle to San Diego.

Can I vote for Texas to be in the bottom ten? Is that allowed?

In a big city like Dallas, you would think we would have a few great breweries. There is Franconia in McKinney, but as far as I know, it is VERY small, and Rahr and Sons in Ft Worth. My fav Texas brewery is Saint Arnolds, but in a huge state like Texas, you would expect to have much more. I wonder if there are any regulations making it harder on Breweries in Texas?

CA baby! within a 30 minute drive i can hit RRB (one block down), lagunitas, healdsburg, 3rd street, moylans, and an easy 10 others... in addition to several beirgardens...

beer is taking over wine country.

Pennsylvania not being on this list is pretty pathetic. Considering Philly makes most of these lists when speaking of cities, by default PA should at least be on the list.

Delaware is on based on 1 brewery, thats pretty pathetic.

I'm planning a beer trip to PA as we speak and I'm starting to agree with you. The amount of brewpubs is staggering.

Come to Fishtown and I'll show you around, everything in Fishtown and Northern Liberties is beer centric its pretty awesome. And its growing by the day.

I mean Victory is a pretty fabulous brewery just to name one, probably one of the best in the state if not the best. Try the HopDevil and Prima Pils for your session ales, but you cant miss the Storm King and Golden Monkey.

I can see PNW and CA and CO, maybe a couple of states on the East. BUt to not have Michigan on that list??? Inconceivable!

The list is flawed, but it seems to have sparked a good conversation. I live in pa and while we do have some great breweries we truly shine with our craft beer bars. Monks is world famous, but check out the spinnerstown hotel. They have bottles of adam and fred from the wood!
And just on the back of founders michigan should be top ten.

Sadly, Texas is falling behind in the craft brew market : (

I was thinking Texas was suffering from market saturation -- but @ 500,000 people / brewery........
