Wisconsin is famous for beer and some of the best in our country, but now the state is also known for one of the best beer museums in the whole United States.

Wisconsin Is Home To The Coolest Beer Museum In The United States

My dad was a huge fan of beer. He loved trying different brands and flavors all the time. Another thing he enjoyed doing was visiting breweries. Whenever we were on vacation, if there was a tour available, our family was on it. I had the coolest collection of beer shirts for any kid in grade school. It was a different time back then.

If there had been a beer museum in Wisconsin back in those days, I guarantee we would've made a road trip to visit. The National Brewery Museum was started by the Potosi Foundation and the American Breweriana Association. It's located in the former Potosi Brewing Company building in the town of Potosi.

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. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
