There’s no doubt about it, Michiganders love their brews.

And we have good reason to. With such well known options like [Bell’s Oberon](http://bellsbeer.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com), [Founders](http://foundersbrewing.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) or [Atwater](https://www.atwaterbeer.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) to the lesser-known like the excellent Ninja Chicken by [Falling Down Beer Company](http://www.fallingdownbeer.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) or the wonderful small batches [Batch Brewing Company](http://www.batchbrewingcompany.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) produces (along with many other great producers) it’s not a surprise to us where Michigan places on the list at number four, only behind Colorado, California and Oregon.

[Says Yahoo! Travel/Thrillist](https://www.yahoo.com/travel/every-state-in-the-us-ranked-by-its-beer-127816752267.html?ref=dailydetroit.com):

\[quote\_box\_center\]Beer in Michigan is a way of life, an economic booster that’s helping Detroit pull out of the apocalypse and a soul cleanser up in the UP, where long winters are made better with a growler from Ore Dock. And if that’s not convincing enough, consider this: in Ann Arbor and East Lansing, when the chaos of a tailgate clears, you’ll see as many empty bottles of craft beer scattered about as you will tallboys with holes punched in the side. In Michigan, beer love starts early.\[/quote\_box\_center\]

Fun fact? Michigan has one brewery for every 50,000 adults, according to the Michigan Brewers Guild.
