Craft beer is in its own golden age, along with pipe tobacco blends. Neatly anywhere in the U.S. and elsewhere you can enjoy an array of excellent brews. For some reason, the art of beer brewing seems more readily mastered than wine making. Many states support a wine industry but can't attract the actual wine makers even if they can grow some viable grapes. I won't name any states, but some that were wine centers in the colonial times have never got the hang of it in modern times beyond the most mediocre table wines. You can belt it down with food, but it will not enhance mood nor certainly any of the food. Stick with Europe, California, Washington State, some New York vineyards and other places that have the skill set. New Zealand does some nice wines, even some South American countries. But beer, ah beer, you can find choice unknown brews in surprising places seemingly everywhere.
