Surprising findings:
Hop over to the PNW: Pacific Northwest cities earned their spots at the top of our
ranking.
Spokane, Washington, took home the crown as our No. 1 Beer City and also placed
second in both Access and the prestigious World Beer Awards. With its close prox-
imity to inland wheat, barley, and the state’s hop fields, Spokane has all the ingredients
to craft a delicious brew.
Portland, Oregon, microbrewery capital of the world, came in close behind at No.
2 both overall and in Beer Quality. The locally dubbed “Beervana” boasts more than
70 breweries.
In Seattle (No. 4), coffee isn’t the only beverage that’s brewing. The Emerald City

placed first in Beer Quality. There are more than 60 breweries in the city, which hon-
ors its craft during the annual Seattle Beer Week.
Built on beer: Pre-Prohibition, Cincinnati was the “Beer Capital of the World.” It
continues to fight back for the title, ranking fifth both overall and in our Access metric
and placing 10th in Establishment Quality.
Beer is so integral to Cincinnati culture that it literally shaped the city’s architecture Strange Facts About the U.S.
— throughout the city you can find vast underground tunnels and cellars that were
built to store millions of gallons of beer.
Today, Cincy is home to Zinzinnati — the largest Oktoberfest celebration in the
U.S.
Sour cities: San Bernardino, California (No. 180), Columbus, Georgia (No. 179),
Kansas City, Kansas (No. 178), Plano, Texas (No. 177), and Laredo, Texas (No. 176)
scrape the bottom of the barrel when it comes to beer access, quality, and community
interest.
Compared with the rest of America’s major cities, there aren’t many opportunities
to try a quality ale here. At least Columbus and Kansas City have more affordable
options out of the bunch, landing in 35th and 37th places, respectively, in the Cost
metric.
All of these cities have populations below 300,000, so perhaps the microbrewery
movement is still beer-crawling its way to them.
Our full ranking and analysis, along with a fun Beer By the Numbers infographic,
can be found here: https://lawnlove.com/blog/best-beer-cities-in-the-us/
Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to interview Lawn Love
managing editor Sharon Sullivan about our study and findings.
Why does a lawn care company care about beer, you ask? Well, what’s more re-
freshing than an ice-cold pint after mowing your lawn under the hot sun? There is
even a whole class of lawn mower beers to hit the spot when your yard work is done.
