Today’s infographic shows how much people are drinking around the world, along with how much brewers are making to satisfy that demand. Global Beer Production and Consumption also shows distribution of alcohol by continent.
Beer Flow Chart
Todays infographic is currently being pitched on Kickstarter, and was created by Dallas, Texas graphic designer Jason Haynes. His Beer Diagram Poster has eight days to go, and so far he’s raised 21 times the amount he needs to get his poster printed. It’s available in three sizes, and you have about a week to pledge if you’d like to get one of his posters, too.
You can see it larger on the Kickstarter page.
Beer Me Bro!
Today’s infographic is cheekily titled Beer Me Bro. It was created by Sarah Ostman, a student at Syracuse University, while she was an intern at Lab 42. Here’s her description of the project.
We took a look at a couple different topics surrounding men and beer advertising: how men are portrayed in ads, which factors influence their beer choice, and what types of ads they find most appealing. The most surprising stat? 57% of men said they don’t relate to male characters in beer ads. Check out the infographic below for the low-down on men in beer advertising.

Sorting Cases Of Beer … Fast
In case you didn’t see this, it’s been up since last November, but it’s pretty funny, and mesmerizing to watch, especially from the laziness of your own couch or office chair. The video is simply workers at a beer distributor in Romania sorting the cases on mixed pallets as the come into the warehouse. I”m not quite sure why it’s called “Sorting Cases of Beer Like a Boss,” I think I’d call it “Sorting Cases Like It’s Friday Afternoon Minutes Before Quitting Time.” Or maybe happy hour was about to start?
How To Make Beer
Today’s infographic is about homebrewing, or really brewing anywhere. How to Make Beer at Home appeared in the OC Weekly blog in 2011.
Breweries By The Numbers 2012
The Brewers Association just released the number of breweries in the U.S. as of the end of last year. As of December 31, 2012, there were 2,336, which represents an increase of 387 over the previous year, meaning just over one new brewery opened every single day. Just as staggering; the total number of breweries-in-planning stood at 1,254.
And here’s the breakdown:
- 24: A-B or MillerCoors owned
- 109: Regional Breweries
- 1,084: Microbreweries
- 1,119: Brewpubs
The Process of Brewing Beer
Today’s infographic shows the stages of the brewing process graphically. It’s called simply The Process of Brewing Beer.
Where Do Beer Nuts Come From?
These are pretty funny. Terry Border runs a website called Bent Objects, where he creates funny dioramas using everyday objects and bent paperclips. In these two, apparently St. Pauli Girl isn’t the wholesome gal everybody thinks she is. Instead she’s terrorizing some colleagues for their nuts … beer nuts, that is.
The first is from 2008, and is titled Yeah, This is Where Those Come From.
The first one also includes these puns.
It’s also how light beers are made here in the U.S., but personally, I only like a full bodied beer.
She had often been described as a little bitter.
She was cold one, that’s for sure.
And this one’s from Valentine’s Day, 2011.

World’s Strongest & Strangest Beers
Today’s infographic showcases the World’s Strongest & Strangest Beers, at least as of last year. Who knows what stronger or stranger beers have been released since then.
