I just saw a post at The Economist with a chart showing Americans only drinking 79 Liters per person per year. That’s less than 10 cases. Less than one beer a day!
I think I must be pulling up the average!

I saw that too - We’re both doing our fair share!
I know they are not counting my homebrews in that average!
Good point. Our homebrew probably isn’t counted at all.
If they’re going off sales then maybe homebrewing is bigger than I thought. ;D
Then again my consumption is probably skewing the curve… :
Going off of the demographics thread that was on here a while ago: http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=2019.0
Let’s say there are 500,000 homebrewers brewing their 200 gallons per year. That’s another 100,000,000 gallons not being accounted for. With a US population of about 300M that’s about a third of a gallon per capita not being accounted for.
