    Just based on New Glarus (with a special appearance by Central Waters), I'd vote for Wisconsin. If we're counting FFF as being Indiana's claim to fame (as others have said, its main market is Chicago), then Indiana would be up there. Michigan would be 2nd/3rd (depending on the FFF question).

    Edit: Special shout-out to Minnesota, who, while not quite next door is close enough, and has again blessed us with distribution of Surly (which is a great gift indeed).

    I Always wondered, since it is an Ohio brewery,why it is not called Great Lake Brewing Company.

    Truthfully I probably buy more beer from MO breweries than any one else, but that's mostly because I don't have access to a year round supply of fresh Odell IPA & Myrcenary:angry:

    Michigan. Although PA has some solid offerings (love me some Dirtwolf), I just love Bells and Founders so damn much.

    Probably Missouri, just because of Boulevard. Tastes good and trades well.
    Edit: With that said, if Colorado weren't to the west and Boulevard to the east, KS really would be the hole people probably think it is.

    Props to all our neighbors there's some good stuff out there but Id have to give the best to Wisconsin, to me New Glarus does it right. They do numerous styles so well and hey we all want what is not so easily obtained.
