Bart Watson has been a vocal and prominent figure within the Brewers Association. He’s been using stats for the good of promoting the craft beer boom. He’s particularly fond of talking about the huge influx of breweries and those that are yet to be built.
The Great American Beer Festival starts in two days and Watson was at it again showcasing the incredible number of breweries the GABF will house.
It’s #GABF week! There will be more U.S. breweries pouring on the floor than there were in the country anytime from 1938-1994.

It’s #GABF week (part 2): There are more American breweries entered in the competition than there are breweries in all of Germany. — Bart Watson (@BrewersStats) September 21, 2015
There may be more breweries in the competition than in any other single country in the world. #GABF

Make sure to follow Watson on Twitter for more awesome stats, such as this interesting one:
89 towns with a population under 1,000 have a brewery. They have the collective population of Port Arthur, TX, which doesn’t have one (yet).
