I had the same reaction about Boston, and decided to look a little closer.
I am not sure how the city selection works. Tree House is more than 50 miles from Boston, so it doesn't get included. But if you move the selector to 1+ breweries and 50 miles, then Treehouse shows up, under Chicopee, MA. Which is an interesting choice, because Treehouse is less than 50 miles from Worcester, which is also less than 50 miles from Trillium (although barely), which would certainly show up.
So, maybe there are some details around the "grouping" that aren't clear. Maybe the brewery gets "pinned" to the closest city with more than 40K people?
it's also quite unclear how he used the Ratebeer data.
"Data from RateBeer. Only breweries with 3+ beers that were reviewed 10+ times and 50+ total reviews were included. Restricted each brewery to its top 10 beers by review count (which accounted for greater than 90% of all reviews)."
And yet Santa Rosa, his primary example, lists the breweries
Bear Republic
Cooperage
Fogbelt
Henhouse
Moonlight
...but not Russian River?! It's pretty obvious that Russian River is better rated than Bear Republic, especially by his extended criteria.
So, yeah, I guess I'd like to see his data and code.
