Having been to Vancouver recently, I can tell you getting to brew pubs 
takes a lot of walking.

Folks,

I respect all of your points of view, but you have been going about
this all wrong.

Here's some data on brewpub density from Yelp.

    New Haven: http://bit.ly/b4vZBP (4)
    Bloomington: http://bit.ly/aOJ6KW (7)
    Vancouver: http://bit.ly/9p6Fgs (20)
  
    
      
But you need to divide this by population (population comes from 
Wikipedia) - which gives you:

Vancouver: 1 brew pub per 30593 people
New Haven: 1 brew pub per 31000 people
Bloomington: 1 brew pub per 10322 people.

This makes Bloomington the clear choice.

Now you can all make an informed decision.

I think Mike was right originally; we'd be interested in the geographic 
density of brew pubs in the easily-accessible area. I'm not sure how 
much of a factor brew pubs per capita would be, other than to predict 
potential crowding.
