Running a brewery has so many moving parts that sometimes it can feel overwhelming. Making sure the front of the house and the brewhouse are functioning at full throttle is imperative for a successful business.
With so much going on, there’s little time for other equally important tasks, like researching what consumers are drinking in your area. That’s where a tool like Untappd Analytics, a part of the Next Glass family of brands that includes Ollie, Untappd for Business, Hop Culture, and BeerAdvocate, among others, can help.
The data you can glean from Untappd Analytics provides next-level insight into the global craft beer industry. If used correctly, the data can help positively impact your brewery by serving up your customers’ highly desired beer styles.

New York: The Third Most Checked-in State in the Past Year

New York is one of the most prominent, if not the most notable, states in the Northeast, and breweries in the region tend to distribute quite a bit to the state. Subsequently, New York consumers check in beers at a high rate. Over the past year, New York ranks as the third most checked-in state, only behind Pennsylvania and California.
In the past 365 days, there have been 2,517,501 check-ins at 53,135 venues throughout the state, with an average Untappd rating of 3.92.
Unsurprisingly, New York City has more check-ins—by far—than any other area, with just over one million, accounting for about forty percent of the total check-ins.
Rochester is the next closest to New York City, with 325,874 check-ins.
With a wider-lens view, New York has 19,212,059 check-ins at 162,514 venues dating back to the start of 2019—as far back as the data goes. Again, over the last five years, New York has ranked third in the nation, behind only Pennsylvania and California. New York City alone has nearly 7.9 million check-ins, with Rochester (2.7 million) and Buffalo (2.3 million) being the next closest cities.
Narrowing to the past ninety days, New York drops to fourth in the most checked-in states behind Pennsylvania, California, and Florida.
Over that span, New York had 539,527 check-ins, down about 95,000 from the previous 90-day outlook. The check-ins were made at 21,237 venues and had an average Untappd rating of 3.95. New York City is again the top city for check-ins, with 224,908, Buffalo a distant second with 71,077, and Rochester next in line with 66,496 check-ins.
Let’s look at what consumers in one of the most checked-in states in the U.S. have checked in over the past ninety days.
