I'm not at all surprised that Utah is last.
Wow.
California is #1 in shipments but #44 in per-capita.

Oil boom in North Dakota isn't surprising they are number one! And after living in South Dakota, there really isn't much to do out there besides drink. The locals even say it!
yes, but I am surprised that Connecticut is next to last in per capita consumption...
I'm sure Sturgis is a BIG help for their stats.
Business in that town does more in that week than it does the entire rest of the year.

I used to bowhunt on a friend's ranch about 2-miles south of Whiteclay, NE (on the SD state line) which is just a few miles south of Pine Ridge, SD and not far from Wounded Knee. My friend owned a gas station in Whiteclay that sold beer. The volume of beer the went out of that store was staggering, both literally and figuratively.
Interesting there does look to be a lot of correlation between being rural or extra cold (not sure which) and beer consumption. Just look at the northeast: New Hampshire - 2, Vermont - 7, Maine - 10, while Massachusetts is only 40th, and Connecticut is 50th.
The southern conservatism and/or blue-laws are also evident in the stats: with Virginia - 38, North Carolina - 35, Georgia - 43, Kentucky - 46, Tennessee - 41.

Ya, maybe California would have been in the top 10 if they had included wine coolers and clearmalt? 
Yeah... Sturgis, the reservations... Rural people with nothing to do but blow stuff up, drink, work and hunt/fish in no particular order.
Interesting!
The Kirin group also collected data on global beer consumption (in 2010):

Interesting to see that Asia is in the #1 position.

I am surprised Alaska does not have a higher per capita consumption. Maybe they prefer the hard stuff.
Maybe too cold for beer over there? After all, it doesn't really have the reputation of a "winter drink".

Well, they have a LOT of people in Asia. The per capita data on that page have results probably more in line with what you (or I) would imagine.
