Info  by  State  &  Province

The Bankrate blog posted their study of the Top Ten States For Beer Lovers in September 2014; the results are included here not because they are
definitive or official but for purposes of opening discussion on the matter. (One of the comments noted that these are states that 'nobody goes to'.)
In reverse order: #10 Nebraska, #9 Iowa, #8 South Dakota, #7 Maine, #6 New Hampshire, #5 Colorado, #4 Wisconsin, #3 Oregon, #2 Vermont, and #1 Montana.

Of course the main beer page grew & grew, so this section was split off in May 2022.
