U.S. Breweries per Capita Map
<< Return to Blog

Beer lovers who are not interested in sharing their beloved beverages may want to look into moving a bit closer to the source to secure the frosty resources. We have already outlined the top 50 craft brewers in the nation, so now we take a closer look at which states have the largest concentration of breweries relative to their population, a valuable resource if you are looking for a healthy variety of different brews, without much competition.

both millercoors and pabst have their homes in Milwaukee, WI.......this picture almost turned my whole world upside down

me.yahoo.com/a/cQ4_ez4Pldrj89J7rf2XxrTn69PYVQwp April 13, 2009 at 10:43pm

haha yeah....that can't be right. millercoors and pabst call milwaukee their home. and i think you might be offending a lot of milwaukeeans(myself included) by suggesting theyre from illinois.

hyperdude88 April 13, 2009 at 11:15pm

Hey! I'm from Wisconsin and we DEFINITELY have Millercoors and Pabst, there Mr/Ms Picturemaker! Why does Illinois get all the credit for nothing... And also, this is breweries per capita... how about a consumption per capita map as well? That will show you the "real" distribution of where the beer is.

snakeyesx23 April 14, 2009 at 12:38am

Hyperdude88: We're craftsmen, not drunks, here in Portland. Good Day sir.

Rob B. April 14, 2009 at 3:12am

Snakeyesx23: agreed! Every weekend here there is a different beer/wine festival. And last I checked; Portland has 37 individual brewers and 65 individual wineries. And as for MillerCoors - they moved their headquarters to Chicago in July of '08. My idea of a beer is this: If you can go anywhere in the United States and order the same beer, what differentiates this from soda? If I go someplace different I want to drink what they drink, locally. I don't get to go to fancy exotic locations and sometimes the simplicity of a beer can give me that tiny exotic adventure, or at least the hangover will. Or at least the guy with the screw stuck in his head selling me bathtub gin made in his van behind the local watering hole. I'm glad Leinenkugel hasn't made it's way west of the Rockies or I may not have anything to enjoy when I go to Wisconsin. Minnesota screwed up and St. Paulie girl is the Keystone of the West Coast.

SdJDodson April 14, 2009 at 7:57am

*really confused* Am I just going crazy, or does "OR, 32 Breweries, MOST PER CAPITA & overall in the US." and "Vermont has the MOST breweries PER CAPITA" not make any sense to exist in the same diagram? And what does "and overall in US" mean? I think the fact that Portland and Vermont being both "the most in the US" is throwing my brain off some sort of logic circuit... Not to mention how Colorado tops in Beer Production....but Illinois tops in sales. So Colorado makes the most amount of beer, but sells less? What do they do, throw away gallons a year? This map is flawed....

fbhidy April 14, 2009 at 8:17am

@SdJDodson: Portland is a city. Vermont is a state. The statistics are not related other than Portland's numbers are included in Oregon's state stats but are not enough to beat Vermont. Colorado exports more beer than it drinks ergo it's production exceeds Illinois, but Illinois' sales exceed its production....hmmmm folks in Illinois must be drinking too much!

Geoff Gauchet April 14, 2009 at 9:39am

Louisiana has more than "0-2" breweries. Abita in Abita Springs Heiner Brau in Covington Big Easy Brewing in Marrero Langniappe Brewing Co. in Arabi NOLA Brewing in New Orleans

blurradial April 14, 2009 at 10:48am

On the Milwaukee and Wisconsin issue: this map seems to have been handed over to a computer who assessed the data. When Miller merged with Coors, they decided to put their HQ in Chicago. But strangely, many of the Miller offices and the whole of production remain in Milwaukee. As for Pabst, like so many great breweries it left Milwaukee (keeping HQ in Illinois and brewing as outsourced to several breweries currently) and left behind a great building -- as did Schlitz and Blatz. We still drink a lot of Miller and Pabst though. They sponsor just about every festival event the state holds!

Geoff Gauchet April 14, 2009 at 11:02am

Also, it says "per capita" and apparently my reading comprehension skills suck.

rtcrooks April 14, 2009 at 11:04am

@blurradial Thank you for clearing that issue up. The data used in the map is based on the Brewers Association's list of Breweries per Capita, which is based on the official corporate headquarters of each brewer. MillerCoors recently moved their headquarters to Chicago upon the merger in 2008 in order to have a neutral new location. Pabst, though maintaining many roots in Milwaukee, has moved its official headquarters to Woodridge, IL. I am sorry if that breaks anyone's heart, I just report this stuff. Ross.

rtcrooks April 14, 2009 at 11:24am

@SdJDodson, fbhidy is correct, Portland is indeed a city, and Vermont a state. As for the production statistics, the major breweries obviously have multiple facilities in operation around the nation. From my understanding, MillerCoors and Anheuser Busch both have major brewing operations in Colorado, which contribute largely to the state's total beer production numbers.

Umm, stop jumping all over the guy that has the facts correct. Millercoors and pabst moved their home bases to Chicago. http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/25482274.html
