Who’s Leading The Bourbon Conversation On Twitter Infographic – March 2013

By Patrick "Pops" Garrett on April 3, 2013 in Bourbon Banter

It’s been quite a while since we checked in to see how popular the hashtag #bourbon had become on Twitter.

Based on the last month of Twitter activity, it looks like #bourbon has been used a total of 8,409 times. That’s an increase of almost 3,000 since we lasted reported on it’s usage in September 2012. Looks like some of our efforts to spread the bourbon gospel are working.

#bourbon was used 425 times on the peak day with Tom over at BourbonBlog.com leading the way. In fact, BourbonBlog.com was the most influential user at the beginning, middle and end of the month. Would somebody please buy Tom a glass of bourbon or something. (In all seriousness though, make sure you check out what he’s got going on over at BourbonBlog.com or @BourbonBlog. It’s some really cool stuff.)

Along with BourbonBlog.com, @Bourbonville was also one of the users that was engaged in the most outspoken discussion on the topic of bourbon. Congrats!

We’ve come a long way since last year but we haven’t reached my original goal of 10,000 mentions of #bourbon a month. Please share our infographic and encourage your friends to follow us on Twitter and start using #bourbon on relevant Tweets. Together I know we can not only reach our goal but exceed it.

American Drinking Habits

By Patrick "Pops" Garrett on November 21, 2012 in Bourbon Banter

Stumbled across this “Boozin” infographic that illustrates American drinking habits and thought everyone would enjoy it as well.

Based data supplied by the Department of the Treasury there’s some pretty interesting findings contained within the infographic. Here are a few of my favorites.

“All the bubbly consumed on New Year’s Eve is no match for what Americans put away on ”Black Out Wednesday,” the day before Thanksgiving. It’s the busiest drinking day of the year.”

“In Kentucky, home to bourbon, they like to binge drink nearly 6 times a month.”

“People who make more than $70,000 a year are the people who binge drink the most (20 percent).”

I have to admit that I didn’t know today was referred to as “Black Out Wednesday”. I knew it was the biggest drinking day of the year but the fact that it got a nickname as well was news to me.

Read on and let me know what you think about American drinking habits in the comments.

Happy Black Out Wednesday everyone!

Who’s Leading The Bourbon Conversation On Twitter Infographic – September 2012

By Patrick "Pops" Garrett on September 24, 2012 in Bourbon Banter

Another month closer to fall and time to check in to see who’s leading the bourbon conversation on Twitter.

Looks like we’ve bounced back from the previous month’s low usage of #bourbon on Twitter with just over 5,500 uses of the hashtag over the last 30 days. Well Done!

@FarahfromKY led the use of #bourbon at the beginning and at the end of the last 30 days…well done. We’re pleased to see @JimBeamOfficial take the the honor of “most influential user” on the peak day of #bourbon usage.

You’ll also notice that among our two top topic influencers (@xxxratemypic & @iamch0pper) we’ve got an adult oriented account and an “MTV star” with over 700k followers. I think this is further proof that bourbon is back and here to stay.

Keep up the good work and let’s see if we can spread the bourbon gospel enough to get our monthly Twitter mentions up to 10,000. Please share our infographic and encourage your friends to follow us on Twitter and start using #bourbon on relevant Tweets.
