Here’s a map of the countries covered:
That’s only about 14% of all the countries in the world, but in terms of area it’s obviously much larger.
And here’s the coverage by state:
The gap with the six states in the mid-South stands out and it’s probably going to take some work to close. Connecticut, Nevada, and North Dakota should prove easier to target and find beers to rate. Here’s a list of possibly options for each of the states that are currently missing from the rating roster.
Arkansas-Diamond Bear Brewing
Connecticut-Thomas Hooker Brewing Company
Kentucky-West Sixth Brewing
Nevada-Big Dog's Brewing Company
North Dakota-Fargo Brewing
Oklahoma-Choc Brewing
Tennessee-Yazoo Brewing Company
Virginia-Legend Brewing
West Virginia-Bridge Brew Works
One of the ongoing debates among craft beers aficionados is over which states brews the best beer. Here’s a list of the states by ratings average (minimum twenty beers rated):
Pretty clear advantage to California especially when you consider the number of beers.
The overall average rating for the 802 beers is 13.06 and you see from this chart that the distribution is not a perfectly normal one.
The updated ratings also include links to the one-hundred-seventy-eight reviews of Beers of Week made possible by the fine folks at Glen Lake Wine & Spirits.
