It's a favorite of mine; there aren't too many dubbels from Belgium I enjoy more. Also one of the greatest labels ever.

Pilsner from Pigeon Head brewery in Reno Nevada. Comes in 16 oz cans. No idea what the distribution is. If you like a good pilsner made with malt and hops imported from Germany, this is one. I like it.

An interesting list of the best brewery in every state, done by Yelp using their own metrics. What makes it interesting is that most are small breweries that I haven't even heard of, which is where much of the magic is being made these days. (Yes, the Massachusetts selection is ridiculous.) Anyway, some of these might be worth visiting if you are in the area and haven't checked them out. Breweries are linked.

MA is ridiculous.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

I just bought 48 bottles of Viven Imperial IPA

They were slightly over date, so I got them at half the price. They are 8% so it doesnt matter.
Well, it wasn't in 1993.
How is Trillium not the #1? Sam Adams has had plenty of nice offerings over the years, but nothing much of interest lately. They even seem to have dropped Boston Ale, which I always liked.
Personally I'd go
Tree House
Trillium
Vitamin Sea
Night Shift
Lamplighter
Barrelhouse Z
Bones Up
Harpoon
Sam Adams

Interesting, Ore Dock is listed as the best in Michigan, but I have never heard of it. The brewery is in Marquette Michigan which is in the U.P. so probably a 6 to 7 hour drive from where I live (Michigan is a huge state), but I have never seen it around my neck of the woods.
The criteria of this contest give the superficial parameter of percentage of ownership by a big producer. But Sam Adams is one of the biggest producers in the US and Boston Lager is everywhere. Personally it’s the worst lager I have ever drank.
There's been a lot of chatter on Reddit and Beer Advocate that Trillium isn't what it used to be. I can't say, I've never had it, but it will be on my itinerary for my Beer Pilgrimage this summer.
I didn't give more than a cursory glance at their methodology, but it seems that number of reviews and positive reviews factored in.
Nonsense from my perspective, there's a whole beer snob line that "the beer used to be better at..." to such an extent that it's become a meme at Tree House

I read that Tree House is buying the Tewksbury Country Club so that they can run a brewery there.
I haven't been to any of their locations yet. Hell, I've only been to Trillium twice and they're already on their second location in my town. Not much of a beer snob, I guess.
Boston Lager is far from my favorite, but I can drink it in a pinch.
I remember in the late 80s/early 90s when SABL was far and away the best non-import option we had here in the flyovers. I drank tons of it. Haven't had one for ages, though.

^ Same here.
Got twelve pack of four different IPAs. This one has hemp seed used in the process. Good and complex:
When I was in Georgia 2 weeks ago we got what I guess is the same variety pack from Wicked Weed. It had 4 different IPA's including this one and I liked them all.Got twelve pack of four different IPAs. This one has hemp seed used in the process. Good and complex:
What is he doing to that skull?Must be good...
Is that the idea, or is my mind just in the gutter?
^ When I saw that label, I thought "Nothing like kicking back with a cold one and what's left of some dead guy's head in your lap."
Here it is:
