THE 20 MOST POPULAR BEERS IN AMERICA Joshua Malin@joshtext



1 MINUTE READ Share On Facebook! Share On Twitter! Email This To A Friend Share On Pinterest! Big Beer is a big business in America. Total annual sales stand around $100 billion. Craft Beers, as defined by the Brewer’s Association, are booming, yet still only account for around 15% of the beer sold in America. On a volume basis, craft beer’s share of the market is about half of that, due to its premium pricing. So what’s America drinking? A whole lot of light beer, most of which is made by a handful of monstrous macro brewers. America’s most popular beer is Bud Light — by a couple billion dollars. Yes, Bud Light’s U.S. sales alone would lodge it firmly within the Fortune 500.

Interesting article. From what I see in the local bars and at events in my area, I find this pretty accurate, at least around here in the upper midwest.

One exception, I thing Busch light is probably #2 around here. But a lot of that is because the bars sell it cheaply, and that adds to the sales.

One other thing, I have never seen or even heard of Yuengling Lager.

Personally, I'm an exception. I dont like light beers. From this list, I'll drink Budweiser or Pabst, but I much prefer IPA beers and like trying micro brewery beers too. Of the commercial beers, I like Goose Island IPA and Ranger IPA. And once and awhile I really enjoy some good old Hamms too....
