who do we think collectively as a state makes the worst beer overall in the midwest? I vote for Texas, just turrible.
5 years ago, Texas probably was the worst in the US, not even JK could save them. Since the TABC has loosened their stranglehold on Texas craft beer the slightest, Texas is no where near the bottom.
Jester King, Weathered Souls, Turning Point, Spindletap, Celestial, Pinthouse can all make their best beers that are on the same level as any other brewery in the country. Those are the ones with a strong foothold. There are plenty more that are cranking out really quality beers, time will tell if they have a business model to stay around.
