Norar: that's not entirely surprising, but what i'd like to see is some data on regional brewing diversity vs overall beer consumption
Ruby: can't say I'm surprised Wisconsinites hold their own in beer consumption - the Packers must have something to do with that claim
Iron Cipher: I've always found it interesting how some states just... own certain industries. Now I'm curious to see if Wisconsin can keep this title running for more years than a Brewers playoff streak
Lucas: never understood why Wisconsin gets all the credit for being America's beer capital. It's like, Midwest pride and all, but I've had better craft beers from Ohio and Michigan that
Lunar Halo: still surprised michigan doesn't top the list, you'd think they'd be right up there
Emma: a whole lot of people will just nod along to 'America's beer belt' without actually looking at the data
Mayarossixo: people still celebrating like that in august is a dead giveaway you're from the north
Raviberg: who needs beer rankings when the Brewers are barely in contention?
Void Falcon: Wisconsin is okay but the Midwest being called the "beer belt" feels really reductive, you know? There's some great beer coming out of places on the east coast too
Eliasrana: Wisconsin's got nothing on Ohio when it comes to good craft beers
Fathom Reaper: midwest summers and cold beers are the real MVPs 👍
Mirage Serpent: it's no surprise Wisconsinites put their beer first. what else do you expect from cheeseheads?
