In reply to: Chicago now tops the nation in number of breweries (link) posted by Raoul

AL, MS, LA & Arkansas all rank last in almost every category for breweries per capita, consumption, etc.

I've never spent much time in Mississippi. I realize they're not a wealthy state .

Just 12 craft breweries statewide. Hell Hawaii has 18. Last in beer consumption nationally.

Interestingly Vermont is the highest breweries per capita & they drink the most beer per capita. Delware is 2nd most in beer consumption but far fewer breweries.
