Highest breweries by state

Breweries per 100,000 residents.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

Payroll brewery establishments (NAICS 312120), per 100,000 residents. This is the Census business classification, not a promise of a taproom, tours, or public access. A blank means County Business Patterns did not publish the detailed county cell; it is not assumed to be zero.
