So I think I am about to start some shit but here we go: obviously I just got back from Chicago and was very impressed by their beers. My question is, what state in the midwest has the best beers?! I have had spectacular beers in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Tell me your opinion midwesterners.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0

Nothing that I'm overly aware of. Some people really like Great Lakes out of Cleveland, but I'm not a fan."A smart monkey doesn't monkey around with another monkey's monkey" - Darwin's Theory0

For Midwest beers, I’d have to say MI, IL, IN and WI in that order.0

Deschutes is hands down my fave. Pinedrops is my #1, then Fresh Squeezed. I really wanted to try Sage Fight but couldn't find it anywhere.
After N1 Seattle we meandered to Elysian and the Avatar Jasmine was delicious.
My friend here in SF got me into Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing...it's super delicious too. I wish it were sold in bottles rather than cans but....
Yum,it's always fun to talk about beeeeer.East Lansing, Michigan (August 18, 1998)Greensboro, North Carolina (August 06, 2000)San Francisco, California (August 28, 2009)

With so many breweries popping up over the last 3 years, it really becomes difficult to have the shelf space at the liquor stores to keep up. Just because someone opens a brewery, it doesn't mean their beer is worth a damn. Additionally, just because a brewery is new, it doesn't mean they are incapable of being great.
Here are my top 5 for each state (off the top of my head):
Illinois:
Pipeworks
Revolution
One Trick Pony
Half Acre
Two Brothers
Indiana:
3 Floyd's
18th St. Brewery
Burn Em'
Four Fathers
Sun King
