Favorite data visualization and design studio Pop Chart has just released a new fantastic print: a map of what the designers describe as “practically every brewery” in the United States.

[Image: Pop Chart]That’s over 5,000 places that make bottled joy with bubbles from coast to coast. To hold so much information, the poster needs to be big: 48 inches by 32 inches.
Some parts of the country have so many breweries per acre that you need a bigger scale. For those, the Pop Chart designers distributed circles that zoom into different densely populated areas, like Detroit and Seattle.

But then you need to zoom into Greater San Diego and then again in San Diego to properly appreciate the many tastebud adventures that await you.
