Enjoying A Beer 

I really started thinking more deeply about drinking beer. There is the who, what, where, why, and how. That can say a lot about you. The "who" is the person or people you drink with. The "what" is the kind of beer you consume. The "why" can include the reason to have the tasty beverage. The "how" would be draft, bottle, or can.

I realize I skipped one of the questions and that is the "where." As I reflect on the art of drinking beer, this question for some reason intrigued me the most. So, I posed the question to myself, "Where is the best place to enjoy a brewski in Illinois?" Of course, I can up with a list.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
