I've drank a lot of good beer in the west and east. Personally my favorite is Goose Island in Chicago. The beer they make exclusively for Frontera Grill is my favorite beer. Other than that I prefer Texas beer. I drink mainly Rahr & Sons Ugly Pug and Stormcloud IPA. I live near Austin, and there are around a dozen independent brewers in the city alone, so I have more than my fill of good beer.

Not to be a "contrary mary," but I have yet to have an Abita than wowed me... I've had Amber, Purple haze, Jokomo, and Turbodog, all on tap & bottle ('cept the Joko - just bottle).
I like it Abita Brew Co, but as a whole, the WC brews are collectively better.
