America may be all about baseball and apple pie, but beer certainly belongs in the discussion.

The very fake sounding, but very real group Beer Institute, has come out with a list of the states that drank the most beer per capita in 2012.

The fine people of North Dakota have extra reason to go out and buy a few cases this Fourth of July because it took the top spot, ahead of Vermont.

Utah, with a large Mormon population, finished dead last, ahead of Connecticut.

Independence Day is the nation’s biggest beer-selling holiday, so you know the coolers will certainly be filled to the brim this year.

1. North Dakota
2.
