plotly choropleth not plotting data

Question

here is a link to my data https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oIiwiucRkXBkxkdbrgFyPt6fwWtX4DJG4nbRM309M20/edit?usp=sharing

My problem is that when I run this in a Jupyter Notebook. I get just the USA map with the colour bar and the lakes in blue. No data is on the map, not the labels nor the actual z data.

Here is my header:

import plotly.graph_objs as go 
import cufflinks as cf
from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, plot, iplot

%matplotlib inline
init_notebook_mode(connected=True) # For Plotly For Notebooks
cf.go_offline() # For Cufflinks For offline use


    %matplotlib inline
init_notebook_mode(connected=True) # For Plotly For Notebooks
cf.go_offline() # For Cufflinks For offline use

Here is my data and layout:

data = dict(type='choropleth',
            locations = gb_state['state'],
            locationmode = 'USA-states',
            colorscale = 'Portland',
            text =gb_state['state'],
            z = gb_state['beer'],
            colorbar = {'title':"Styles of beer"}
            ) 
data

layout = dict(title = 'Styles of beer by state',
              geo = dict(scope='usa',
                         showlakes = True,
                         lakecolor = 'rgb(85,173,240)')
             )
layout

and here is how I fire off the command:

choromap = go.Figure(data = [data],layout = layout)
iplot(choromap)

Any help, guidelines or pointers would be appreciated

I wish ;-) . No I get what you show, but the map is completely white (No data). - Did you get that from my data? — Tony Sherman

Here is a minified working example which will give you the desired output.
