Michigan, United States
Kalamazoo is the city that gave craft beer the Bell's Brewery — one of the most influential craft breweries in American history, founded in 1985. The Upjohn Company money built a good art museum, and Western Michigan University gives the city energy. It's a smaller city (75,000 people) with outsized food and culture for its size, and it's an hour from Lake Michigan beaches.
