    This was probably the easiest ones to compile it appears.
    So you list the “Number of Breweries: 1”, but list four by link?
    Either way, it’s crazy to think Missoula, MT has the same number of breweries as the ENTIRE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI. No wait, we have five brewing facilities for four brewing companies.

      Adam, yeah, they rarely match. That’s because I use different sources for the links and the numbers. When I started doing the state posts back in January, I had an older copy of the Brewer’s Almanac from the Beer Institute, and that’s what I use for the number of breweries figure. Even though I have a newer one now, I keep using the one I started with for these posts just for consistencies’ sake. No to mention, new breweries are opening all the time, so it’s hard to keep up. Cheers, J
