Though millennials are increasingly ditching beer in favor of lower-calorie alternatives like hard seltzer, enthusiasm for craft beer proves to be enduring.

While overall beer sales decreased by 1% in 2018, craft beer sales increased by 4%, according to the Brewers Association, a trade association of more than 7,000 small and independent brewers, distributors, and retailers. Thanks to the rise of brewpubs and brewery tours, craft breweries have transformed from mere production sites into full-fledged entertainment destinations, drawing crowds of craft beer devotees.

With so many breweries, it can be difficult to determine the best spots to get the most bang for your buck. A recent analysis by lifestyle website House Method examined the most popular brewery in each state, using social media metrics including the number of Facebook and Instagram followers, Yelp score, and the number of Yelp reviews. The study considered data from more than 2,200 breweries around the US before determining the 50 most popular breweries in each state.
