Craft beer so hot right now. But what city is the microbrew capital of the US?
Short answer: Santa Rosa, CA
Slightly longer answer: It depends on how you measure it.
The author used data from MoreBeer and did some fancy math. He declared Santa Rosa as the capital using a weighted measure of the number of breweries and the quality of the beer they produce. You can manipulate the data set yourself (change number of breweries within a certain radius of a city, reweight quality, etc.) and have some fun with it.
