title_body: Beer n Brewery Statistics - Any Sources for Production, Consumption, Number of Breweries, etc. per Country?
upvoted_answer: There is a bit of statistics on Norway here.
  
  In the US the Brewers' Association publishes statistics. Generally that's where you'll find statistics world-wide. Here is corresponding statistics for Norway.
  
  Trawling through the "Beer_in_Xxx" pages on Wikipedia may provide you with more pointers.
  
  For historical data, European Beer Guide is a great source.
