    You forgot this one.

    Point Beer, from Stevens Point Wisc.

    http://www.pointbeer.com/brewery.php

    The late, great Mike Royko of Chicago fame once got a bunch of beer drinkers together to do a blind tasting of beer. Point came out first among the Americans, and third overall if I remember correctly. This was before microbrews took off.

    Mike also commented that most American beer was brewed using a secret process that involved filtering it through a horse.
