The answer is Belgium if you know about brewing, America if you are a fan of caricatures of various international styles with gay ass quirky names. I say this as an American. Microbrews as they were are gone, replaced by regional swill factories pumping out disgusting IPAs and fruit goses. All of these retarded "local breweries" will be making alcohol seltzers by this time next year. The issue is these places are chasing trends to drive sales. They are not developing an interesting style or perfecting a recipe. It's not really their fault either since they are trying to run a business but there is very little soul in American brewing. It's near impossible to find a nice lager from American micros for example. They would rather crank out high ABV IPAs named HOPSTROSITY or I'M NOT AN ALCOHOLIC I'M A CICERONE. Shoutout to Allagash for being the biggest brewery I know that actually makes beer that seems like there is a creative force behind it.
