Abstract: This chapter focuses on the spatial variation of non-local brewery names in the United States, i.e., breweries that are named after places that they are not located in. Yenne (The American brewery, MBI, St. Paul, MN, 2003) suggested that more breweries in the Eastern United States were named for places in Europe, while more breweries in the Western United States were named for Eastern US Cities. Using data compiled from lists of breweries, the author examined all US breweries founded prior to prohibition to determine if this is true. A Getis-Ord Gi* function was used to analyze the data. The analysis found that breweries with European names are clustered in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States, while breweries with non-local US names are clustered in the Western United States.
