The Dutch company looked at various indicators such as “craft beer bars per 100 km2, bars per capita, microbreweries, beer consumption, beer production, pint-prices, operating hours, hipster compatibility, craft beer buzz, and the legal beer drinking age.”
Hasta la vista Munich, Berlin, Prague and Brussels - Luxembourg got you crushed at a decent 9th place.
Luxembourg scooped its excellent ranking because it scored huge in the “Craft Beer Bars per Inhabitant category” (26.65) and Luxembourgers, well, have a per capita beer consumption of 84 liters. Comparatively long opening times were also a factor.
As the website explains, the Grand Duchy could have ended up even higher still - “if it brewed a bit more beer by itself.”
