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:
- Vermont
- Montana
- Oregon
- Maine

- Alaska

- Washington
