Most Breweries per Capita?
editThis statement is not true: "Portland has more breweries and brewpubs per capita than any other city in the United States."
Asheville, NC has eight breweries and brewpubs for a population of about 78,000, or one for every 9750 people, compared to Portland's 46 breweries and brewpubs for a population of 582,000, or one for every 12,600 people.
Source: http://www.exploreasheville.com/foodtopia/food-adventures/asheville-breweries/index.aspx That article lists nine breweries, but Pisgah is in Black Mountain, NC. 98.17.66.47 (talk) 18:02, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, these sorts of "facts" are usually quite slippery. If it includes the Portland metro area of ~2 million, plus all the surrounding brewpubs, does that improve it? What about Asheville? What about a brewpub which has multiple locations around town—a chain? Does it count as one? A more comprehensive and reliable source is needed to give all competing claims in the article. I doubt there is a definitive answer to be found. —EncMstr (talk) 18:25, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Large producers and smaller breweries
editI'm going to combine the two sections in the brewery list, "Large producers" and "Smaller breweries". I'm also going to remove the data on number of barrels per year, which is outdated. This will prevent any arguments about which breweries are large, small, or just medium sized, which is a somewhat arbitrary distinction anyway. There will therefore be no need to remove breweries from the article on the basis of size, as was done with this recent edit. That said, noting that a brewery is owned by a larger company is perfectly appropriate here. P.S. The Breweries section also has some information about awards and I'm going to put that in its own section. It's a bit random though, so it can be enhanced later. — Mudwater (Talk) 11:32, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
