If you are in fact in Pittsburgh as your Loc says you have to go to Penn Brewery (http://www.pennbrew.com/) and get some sort of sampling of different types of beer to see which kinds suit your pallet. I HIGHLY recommend Penn Weizen, one of the best wheat beers period. Pipers Pub in the South Side is also an awesome place to try new beers without the commitment of buying a case.

Why is it that every time there's a thread about beer someone always has to go on about how their thoroughly mediocre local microbrewery has such awesome beer? Seriously, there's like 15 excellent breweries in the US, not every little crappy microbrewery is awesome.

The number is closer to 100. OTOH, allagash, oskar blues, rogue, stone, ommegang, avery, great divide, southampton, 3 floyds, surly, dogfish head, smuttynose, thomas hooker, victory, and bear republic fill out your list.
