The U.S. now boasts 2,126 breweries—an increase of 350 additional breweries since June 2011. The BA also tracks breweries in planning as an indicator of potential new entrants into the craft category, and lists 1,252 breweries in planning today compared to 725 a year ago. Additionally, the count of craft brewers was at 2,075 as of June 30, 2012 showing that 97 percent of U.S. brewers are craft brewers.

Huh. My very rough calculations suggest that Canada might have more breweries per capita than the US. Anyone have recent Canuckian numbers? Statscan says just over 200 in 2009.
