That may be but I wonder what the density of breweries is compared to other nations.

Did you know that the reason we have 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute is because the ancient Babylonians used a base 60 number system? It's one of the few non-base-10 systems to survive in to modern times.

Actually, modern life in general would be a lot simpler if everybody used base (pick any power of 2). Too bad the people of antiquity didn't have the foresight to know about computers/electronics and such. ;)
