Maybe it's just my BS since i am from Bremen, but alot would agree that Becks is the best, when it comes to german Beer. The Beer that they drink in Bavaria is also pretty good though
Where I live in Maryland we are going through somewhat of a beer renaissance. We've had several micro brewers open shop in the last ten year which has really increased the variety of beer available I'm drinking FlyingDog right now which is made in Frederick Maryland near where I live.
