Where do you live? Chances are if your stomping grounds are in the U.S., there's at least one craft brewer in your neck-of-the-woods. There should be. According to the Brewers Association there are well over 2-thousand artisans bottling or barreling brew nearby. A short while back, that same group released its list of the 50th most successful and largest businesses that share their recipes with poor schlubs like us.

The truly luck guzzlers live on the West Coast. On the other shore, 13 brewers have made their mark. The rest are in the center of America.

Hold on. Here's the list. See if your closest brewer made the grade:
