Maybe they're not to Westvleteren levels yet, but in terms of creativity, we're playing a different game than all but the Scots.

Remember, you're talking to a Belgian here so I would not put brewers such as Sierra Nevada and Anchor in a list of "amazing breweries". I'll make the exception for Dogfish Head, as their IPAs are good. But many, many of these craft breweries are churning out garbage. I know it's to each their own as flavor and taste are extremely subjective.
However, my point remains: in the past few years, the Americans are starting to figure it out and I'm pleasantly surprised that good quality beers are now brewed in US breweries.
