Not that it was ever, you know, a BAD time to be doing that necessarily, but with craft breweries multiplying like rabbits who’ve been drinking beer, you can literally find some serviceable (if not downright tasty) local brews in all 50 states. Which made the process of ranking them all the more difficult, but we were up to the challenge, especially since it meant drinking and thinking about beer for weeks straight.</p><p style='margin-top: 0px; color: rgb(38, 40, 42); font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);'>Here they are, all 50 states in the Union, ranked according to their beer. A couple of notes about our criteria: Quantity and quality are both important, but quality’s a bit MORE important. If you’re a small state turning out a disproportionate amount of great beer, it did not go unrecognized. We also gave a boost to states who played a historical role in American beer as we know it today. We also argued a lot, so if you want to do that as well, please join us in the comments!</p></div><div><div><br /></div></div>beerstatesRanking of states by beer
