Vermont number one in breweries per capita

The Brewers Association recently released another teaser around 2008 Craft Brewer production. Vermont holds the distinction of having more breweries per person than any other state.

Brewers Association: Breweries per Capita 2008 (PDF)

Here’s a glimpse of the top ten:

  1. Vermont
  2. Montana
  3. Oregon
  4. Maine
  5. Colorado
  6. Alaska
  7. Wyoming
  8. Washington
  9. Delaware
  10. Wisconsin

Neither my native state of New Jersey nor my adopted state of Maryland made it into the top 30, but at least I don’t live in Mississippi, which has one brewery and just a hair under 3 million people.

Weyerbacher Merry Monks

Weyerbacher Merry MonksBeer-a-Day #96

I’m running out of Weyerbacher beers. This is a Belgian-style Tripel.

Light amber with plenty of haze, and a bunch of stuff floating in it (I hope from the bottle-conditioning). Lots of bubblegum and bananas from the yeast. No, something’s off. Too bad, I really wanted to like this. I guess I’ll have to try again.
