that's because you live in california where they can't make beer! i've been to a dozen brewerys in sothern cal, including the one that makes stone ipa in san diego, and though stone is almost tasty, it doesn't come close to the northwest micros. i'm not talking red hook and the ones that are owned by budwieser and such, i'm talking the breweries that don't even bottle their stuff up.
the pacific northwest has some brews that will knock your socks off.
for example, where i host a jam on tuesday nights, boundary bay brewery, has beers that consistently win medals in international beer festivals, their pilsner winning a gold medal three years in a row at some prestigious german beer festival, and their other beers consistenly place high in the judging.
micros in canada taste like bad water. colorado and the rest of the rocky mountains also seem to have a problem making beer. as i said, socal can't make beer either. i don't know about the east coast.
but washington and oregon, well, next time you're in the area check out a few of the good breweries. boundary bay in bellingham, water street brewery in port townsend, elysian brewery in seattle, pike street brewery in seattle, there are quite a few great ones. of course there are quite a few terrible ones so you have to ask people who like beer :)
