Welcome to the World of Bois & Bar Talk!

Welcome to the World of Bois & Bar Talk!

I thought it would a good idea to you know… actually, make a welcome post here. Currently, Kev & I are working hard on this new site. We’re building it from the ground up ourselves and we’re pretty excited about it! Yeah, we could have hired somebody to build it but what’s the fun in that? Plus I’m picking up new skills left and right and embracing the challenge.

My goal is to stay productive during quarantine here in Connecticut. I want to come out of this never-ending snow day (at least that’s what it feels like) with concrete things accomplished. I started to feel as if I shouldn’t be taking my free time for granted. This led us to take the step to elevate Bois & Bar Talk into something better. Kev & I mainly used Instagram and Twitter to promote our podcast. You can find us posting one-minute clips like the one below, just click on the link to be redirected to the Podcast.

If you want to learn more about how we promote ourselves via Podcasts in conjunction with social media feel free to click right here! 

Enjoy watching and listening to the renowned Internet guru Neil Patel on YouTube discussing the subject of getting traffic to your social media profiles.

Until next time...stay safe and social distance yourselves for a bit longer.

We're outta here,

Identifying American Beer Geographies: A Multiscale Core-Cluster Analysis of U.S. Breweries

Abstract from Bois Entertainment

 The recent growth in the U.S. brewing industry is remarkable, and the prevailing number of breweries has not been seen since the late nineteenth century. Several studies have shown that beer-producing facilities are spatially uneven across the United States. These previous studies used spatial units, however, such as metropolitan statistical areas, that might bias conclusions. Using a multiscale core-cluster approach, we explicitly identify where significant agglomerations of brewers are located.

Our approach offers two refinements to standard cluster detection methods. First, instead of using fixed spatial boundaries, our method allows us to measure the concentration of brewery point locations across a spectrum of spatial scales.

Additionally, our approach enables us to account for important underlying factors that influence the location of beer production. We use point data for all U.S. breweries in 2014. Our results show that the localization of beer production is significant and strongest at small spatial scales and diminishes rapidly with increasing distance, after controlling for population.

We map the results to show the spatial variation in brewery agglomeration across the United States. Please click here for article source.
