Yeah, the US have really upped their game on beers. Prohibition killed the brewing tradition in the states and it has taken a long time to recover the skills lost. That said, the loss of the traditional brewing industry means that new breweries do what the hell they want and make really interesting stuff, often taking the best of older brewing techniques and mixing them up.
My favourite beer ever is from Maine - Allagash White, a Belgian style wheat beer
