Final Map Proposal


Map

Area of Interest: The United States of America

Tpoic: The number of breweries and beer consumed by state. 

Plan: To make a bivariate a chloropleth of the number of breweries per state, and overlay that with a proportional symbol of beer consumption per capita (perhaps beer steins, perhaps kegs).

Data: The wonderful thing about beer is that there's a plethora of data available (such as the brewer's almanac), and data is available for at least the past decade. 

Data resources include:
