Crowdsourcing updated regional beer subs

Discussion

I noticed the sidebar links to regional beer subs seems somewhat outdated, so I decided to look to see what else is out there. This isn't particularly easy, given Reddit's horrid search function, so if there are some region-specific beer subs I missed, please post below. I found many that aren't on the sidebar, including a few dozen with activity. There are also a similar number on the sidebar with very little/no activity. Below, I've charted the number of posts and comments each sub has had in the past year (as of a few days ago), and at the bottom, I've put in my suggestion for an updated sidebar. It's certainly debatable what should/shouldn't be included, so feel free to voice your opinions, and hopefully mods will listen!
