Lawn Love wanted to find out which cities across the US were best for beer fans. So they looked at 180 of the largest cities and ranked them from most beer-friendly to least beer-friendly using a set of metrics. “We sought out cities with plenty of breweries, beer gardens, and pubs per square mile,” Lawn Love writes. They also sought “award-winning brews, affordable pints, beer-centered festivals, and a big beer-loving community.” Using data from various sources, including Google Events, the Great American Beer Festival, the World Beer Awards, the North American Brewers Association, and more, Lawn Love used a weighted scale with five key metrics, including access, establishment quality, beer quality, affordability, and community. What they found is that Seattle wins for the best city for beer lovers. It ranks highest in beer quality and access, scoring a total of 60.55 out of 100. The city that ranked the worst for beer lovers is Brownsville, ranking last for affordability, establishment quality, and access, with a total of 8.86 out of 100. Here’s how the rest of the cities ranked:
