    Interesting piece about Ohio surpassing the 100 brewery mark....

    From Ohio Beer Blog.....

    http://www.ohio.com/blogs/the-beer-...hio-surpasses-100-mark-for-breweries-1.525254

    Pretty cool stats here.....

    "The brewery growth won’t subside anytime soon in the state. At least 35 breweries are in the planning stages, according to the association.
    Ohio already ranks as one of the biggest beer producing states in the nation.
    There were only seven states with more than 100 craft breweries last year, according to the Brewers Association, a Boulder, Colo.-based trade group.
    There are an estimated 3,100 breweries now operating in the country. The Brewers Association also estimated in June that there were 1,929 in the planning stages"

    Go Buckeye State!

    As was pointed out in the article, Ohio is brewing great beer at a lot of these breweries. There are some states(no names) that have a lot of beer, but it is hard to find a good, let alone great, brew.
