American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
Just before COVID-19 changed life as we know it, the team at House Method, a homeowner advice and review site, pulled data on every craft brewery in US and then broke their findings down further to determine the Top-5 most popular breweries in every state.
The rankings were totally driven by social media. House Method looked at four factors to determine the most popular breweries in every state: number of Facebook followers, number of Instagram followers, Yelp score, and number of Yelp reviews. So know that that’s what you’re getting into.
And while we get that these kinds of rankings are basically clickbait vehicles intended to drive visitors to their businesses…That’s never stopped us from hyping them in the past.
