Midwest

ZD
Hopslam

Tough to spread the wealth in the Midwest, but here goes nothing (in no order):
1. New Glarus Dancing Man Wheat
2. Dark Horse Plead the 5th
3. Three Floyds Blackheart

I think Westbrook can give about every other canned single IPA a run for its money.

 

Southeast:

3. Jack's Abby - Hopponius Union
4. Cape Ann - Imperial Pumpkin Stout
5. Smuttynose - Baltic Porter

Midwest as well. Hard to do just one beer from each brewery, so the brewery listing will have to do.

New Glarus
Founders
Goose Island
Bell's
FFF

Honorable mention to Central Waters. Wisconsin bias

 

What about Great Lake Alchemy Hour

 

Hmm.....only two responses from the Pacific Northwest so far...This is my best effort, in no particular order:

1.) Block 15 - Sticky Hands

I don't know about Zombie Dust, but Hoponius Union is amazing, I can confirm that.

 

Kane - perhaps not expand, because I'm selfish and want Kane all to my self here in NJ, but I'd like to see them put there delicious IPA's in a can.
