    I know this is "blasphemy"...but I am not a fan of PA beers.
    As for bordering state, it has to be Delaware and Dogfish Head. For sheer number of varieties. Plus they make one of my absolute favorite stouts, World Wide Stout. Yum!

    NH would be tough to decide. every state that you border has tons of awesome breweries

    i'm originally from NY but i'll write from CT...

    the obvious choice is MA. tree house, jack's abby, night shift, pretty things... plus a number of world-class beer pubs.

    Yes, true. Except here in NH where we have nothing good but Smutty.

    Colorado, too many breweries to name, but Avery, Great Divide, & Odell are 3 that I purchase the most.

    Oklahoma. I Love Bomb! and all of the Noir variants too much. New Mexico is close though with La Cumbre.

    ...hey now... who doesn't like Schlitz? The beer that made Milwaukee famous... and it's the original formula...


    Since I can't vote for the Vaterland, I have to go with MN. Absolutely love Surly, Summit, Steel Toe etc. Twin Cities has an amazing line up.

    I am from Utah. It is a tie between Colorado and Oregon, in my book. Many of their breweries equally produce some fine year rounds brews, along with some excellent seasonals.

    I took this to mean a bordering state where you live. If I play by these rules I might have to change my answer :stuck_out_tongue:

    Wisconsin also touches actual Michigan. It's the Upper Peninsula but it still counts. :wink:
