• The data source type is wrong Request #32022 | status: 📂
  • Response provided on August 30, 2016:

We have reviewed the manner in which we categorize the dataset you reference, and we note that the HTML reference relates to the page on which the links to the dataset appear. You are correct that the data itself is in PDF, not HTML. For various reasons, most importantly so that the public can find the data we publish, we chose to provide a download website (HTML page) rather than attempt to identify a download URL for each monthly report we publish (PDF files dating back to 1984). We understand that making the beer production and operations data available in machine readable format is important to members of the public like you, but unfortunately at this time, we are unable to do so. With regard to the PDF format, perhaps you could provide additional information with regard to the unusual form, as we are not aware of any differences between the form of PDF that we are using and what might be expected. Finally, with regard to providing a CSV file, unfortunately we do not have the capability to produce the data in that manner at this time. If you have any questions or would like to provide any further information with regard to the form of PDF you reference, please let me know.
