Current stats on per capita beer consumption

[FloridaPoke]

Come on okies, get with the program. Extracting Nevada due to the obvious Las Vegas/Reno effect, the top 15 are

1. ND (cold)
2. NH (cold)
3. MT (cold)
4. LA (redneck)
5. SD (cold)
6. WI (cold)
7. WY (cold)
8. SC (redneck)
9. DE (?)
10. MS (redneck)
11. NE (cold)
12. NM (?, maybe tourism)
13. TX (redneck)
14. IA (cold)
15. AZ (?, maybe tourism)

35. OK

48. NY (must be because of hard spirits)
49. CT (same as NY?)
50. UT (obvious)

OK, I for one, am working hard to move Oregon up on the list. Some great local breweries around here. My goal is at least to get us into the top 10. :)

Deschutes (Bend, OR) is one of my favorite breweries anywhere. And of course, I can't get it here. Bah!

I'm blaming the students; and recent grads . . . . ;)

There are 77 million Baby Boomers (ages 44 to 62 in 2008), compared to a 44 million Generation X population (ages 32 to 43 in 2008). But the Millennial generation is a group of some 70 million. The eldest among this group turned 31 in 2008. They add, on average, 5 percent more new adults to the U.S. population per year than did Generation X, and their taste and lifestyle choices will drive the beverage alcohol market for many years to come.

From what I have learned today:

Beer consumption is based on three things;
1. Cold Weather
2. How redneck you are
3. Tourism.

Are those places that credit tourism for their consumption only visited by rednecks?

This stat does not keep track of non-crap beer. Chris is obviously a beer advocate and certain style points should be given for drinkers of real beer.

Might add percentage of German ancestry to the correlation. Then check the per capita consumption for Bavaria.

Have you ever wondered why America is a beer drinking country and not a wine drinking country? It all had to do with a crop failure in Europe many years ago and who migrated to this part of the world.

NM and AZ is not because of tourism. Think of the levels of alcoholism on Indian reservations.

You can download the entire Beer Institute data base directly from the Beer Institute (the not for profit assn of all beer manufacturers) website. It is an enormous .xls file that is chock full of fun facts. The website is www.beerinstitute.org

I was doing due diligence on a new startup business plan when I stumbled across it.

Speaking of beer consumption, I find it very odd that the Wormy Dog Saloon shut down it Stillwater only monthes after I graduated and moved to Cordell.

Yes...went and saw the Eli Young Band there a month or so ago...love going to shows at that place, even though I wish it weren't so damn hot in there...

A hot atmosphere must produce more cold beer sales.

I have no clue, I've never been to the one in OKC. Once they opened it I heard a bunch of sooners starting going there and I had no intrest in a place like that.

[Erick]

It's still open and it's a pretty cool place. Not like the original, but bigger to accommodate the gigs. A lot of the Red Dirt bands play there when they come through OKC.
