ARE ALPACA'S SCARY?

There is nothing scary about an Alpaca. Alpaca's are sweet and gentle animals, and the LOVE to have their pictures taken. You've probably heard of Alpaca's Spitting. Well, it's true. They can and will spit at times. However, this is unusual unless they are really upset and provoked to do so. Just like other animals, they'll usually give you a look, and fire a blank volley first. Just be nice, and you'll have nothing to fear.

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.
