  We probably have more microbreweries per capita than anywhere else in the US.

That would actually be Portland, OR with 52, more than any city in the world. Richmond isn't even on the map to be honest..

Portland OR has 52 microbreweries per person? That's pretty darn amazing. You guys might want to check yourselves into a rehab program, because you may have a slight drinking problem. (the above is sarcasm. But let's teach people what per capita means.)

looks like they are 5th. 2nd in Oregon. 2nd among Portlands, even.

They're apparently very tiny; many are reportedly more like nano or femtobreweries.

I realized my mistake after I posted, but my point still remains. Richmond isn't even close to the top.

Portland, OR has the most total. Portland, Maine actually has the most per capita (followed by Boulder, CO and Asheville, NC). [1]
