Craft beer = Democrat, Macrobrew = Republican

Funny!
There was a similar study a while back proposing higher rates of literacy (not specifically education, but literacy) in areas with more craft breweries. That might also map over onto this. I don't suspect people that think watching cars go around in circles read much. Especially about foreign policy!

2016 is going to be a much more interesting election - Jeb Bush v. Hilary!Timmy wrote:I would hate craft beer to be associated with either one of those parties or candidates. Truly a bad time to be an American voter.

Yes it is a gross over simplification. But the data really is interesting, as noted in the article it is not about a state's consumption either, really just # of craft breweries per capita.Timmy wrote:I would hate craft beer to be associated with either one of those parties or candidates.

However it is always a good time to be a voter. There hasn't been anyone I've wanted to vote for in Canada for a long time either. Usually just who I vote against.
It is looking like that, but assuming he wins (looking likely after Romney's 47% thing leaked out) it will depend on Obama's perceived performance through to 2015 or so on who will run in both parties. Hiliary and the Dems might have too much baggage to win over Jeb Bush.Timmy wrote:2016 is going to be a much more interesting election - Jeb Bush v. Hilary!
