Maybe a parlementary system for brewers that allowed some of the excellent smaller breweries proper representation. Sadly the big brewers in the US are uniformly mediocre (not unlike the big political parties), and the small guys don't get much exposure overseas.
If you get to NYC or Boston... there are a couple bars that stock some of the best in the country, like Ommegang:

and Lake Placid Brewing Company (their "Ubu Ale" is excellent):

and in almost every part of the country you can find small brewers like these two that are doing fine work. Just stay away from the craptastic big names.
