There are too many good local breweries to be drinking that mass produced garbage like Budweiser/Miller/Coors etc.
I try to drink only local/Michigan beers.

Hell yes, good man here. Michigan is one of the best states for microbrews (I feel like the only one that can compete with it is Colorado). I've got three microbreweries within a mile of my house. One of them has a 10% Imperial Stout that is pretty much the ****. That and they do small batches of cask beers, I know in the past they've done things like chocolate marshmallow porter and holy crap was that stuff good.

If I have to buy at the store I always look for smaller companies, anything by Atwater or Left Hand Brewery are usually good. I've made it a point to not buy anything made by Anheuser-Busch InBev because they're purposely buying up other breweries so they can have a monopoly over the beer industry and that's BS. You'd be surprised how many popular brands are owned by them now (Hell I just learned they own Goose Island now, which is sad). Anheuser-Busch InBev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American - New Glarus - Stone Soup (brewed and distributed in Wisconsin, USA)there are others I really like but New Glarus as a brewery is solid.

Worldwide - Westvleteren 12 (Trappist Ale brewed by monks for centuries, not "commies")

Trappist Ales are my #1 beer world wide and only brewed in 5 monasteries world wide. Only 28 recipes exist.

there are 8 monasteries approved to use the "authentic Trappist product" label, 6 belgian, 1 dutch, 1 austrian

as for favorites, maybe Pliny the elder, or alesmith speedway stout,

favorite belgians rochefort 10 or cantillon gueuze

as for a lighter, session beer, founders all day, but if i can get my hands on it fff zombie dust

I am a cider beer type. Some favorites are Original Sin Pear or Apple, Crispin Extra Dry, anything woodchucks, Paul Adams, and whatever I make at home.

Michigan has some great breweries, but there really is no state in the country that compete with the number and quality of breweries in CA:

russian river

lost abbey

firestone

sierra nevada

greenflash

stone

alesmith

north coast

anchor steam

the bruery

lagunitas

and on...
