Texas is a top 10 state for the number of craft breweries, according to this post from Pricenomics.

But the state remains far in the back of the pack when it comes to breweries per capita.

A few highlights from the post:

Texas ranks No. 8 nationally with 217 breweries, according to the Pricenomics post, based on a Datafiniti blog .

. California (687) topped the list and North Dakota (10) ranked last.

Texas ranks No. 46 nationally on the per-person list, with just 0.8 breweries for every 100,000 residents.

Vermont tops the list with 8 breweries per 100,000.

Even North Dakokta (1.3) beats Texas on that list.

Two Texas cities are included among the 20 U.S. cities with the highest number of local breweries. They are (shudder) Dallas, ranked No. 16 with 54 breweries, and Austin, No. 20 with 47 breweries. Topping the list is Seattle (174).

Houston isn't on that list.

Not surprisingly, perhaps, Texas is unrepresented on the per-capita list.

Looking for the city with the most breweries per capita? Try Boulder, Colo., with 13.3.

Clearly, one could conclude, Texas and Houston have some catching up to do.

Not that no one is trying.
