47. North Dakota

You’d think that two decades of enduring wood-chipper jokes would drive more North Dakotans to drink, but noh… noh, there’s not much brewing going on here, though a can of Fargo Brewing Co.’s Iron Horse Pale Ale is a mighty fine treat.

Guess they would have had Bison Beer as their most popular.
 
I don't really disagree with the Top 3. I think Thrillist is based out of LA, so they may overrate CA. Personally, I really like a lot of CA beer, though.
 
Has everyone gotten their Omaha brewery pass from omaha c&v bureau?

44. Nebraska
Luckily, the Cornhuskers’ 22 spot in the preseason AP poll is the only ranking this state really cares about.

I haven't had many beers out of Oregon, but Cali has incredible beers. Because they share a border with California, and produce some of the best "dank" in the country (hops and bud are almost the same thing), it stands to reason Oregon and Northern California would have the best brews. San Francisco (NoCal) has, arguably, the best beer on the planet.
 
If you draw a 1 1/2 hour radius around Philly, it has some of the best breweries out there.
Dogfish, Flying Fish, Yuengling, Victory, Yards, Philadelphia Brewing Company, Troegs and Sly Fox.

Positive to take away from that is only 3 or 4 short years ago, Iowa probably would be dead last. There's been an explosion of craft brewing in the state - even if it pales compared to others.

Forever in the metro - there's been CABCO and Raccoon River (Rock Bottom and Granite City if you care to include chains). in the past 2-3, Confluence, 515, Firetrucker, New American, Number 7, Madhouse just moved to town and several others within a short driving distance. Probably forgetting some as well.

The woodchipper IPA at Fargo brewing is excellent btw. The Iron Horse was really good as well

I was in Bend, Oregon, home of Deschuttes this summer. They are now up to 24 microbreweries in the area from Deschuttes since 1994. Beer is booming and great in Oregon. Drove through Weed on the way back to Cali. They have good beer in town too.
 
We're underrated and that lead graphic is borderline insulting, especially considering Iowa is home to one of the most sought after breweries in the country.

And if it weren't for New Glarus, Wisky's big accomplishment would be Miller. And Leinkugel's :rolleyes:
 
I think it's about the right ranking. We have one brewery that's great but they can't keep up with demand. We have a bunch of other good brewery's but nothing people will seek out.

If we're talking about beer that we can get in the midwest, I prefer the selection from Michigan over Oregon.
