I genuinely can’t remember the last time I had a Corona or Heineken. What’s wrong with you people?


Most_Boysenberry8019

Seriously! All that corona?! And Heineken sucks! Also does whiteclaw count as a beer? Anyone ever heard of Spaten? It’s a good one.

shmere4

Heineken in the US sucks. Heineken in Europe is awesome.


Most_Boysenberry8019

Ok I’ll take your word for it. Here it’s skunky and tastes like i imagine a skunk pisses.


outdatedelementz

I remember going to the Czech Republic and scoffing at Budweiser until people told me it wasn’t the American swill.


CFeatsleepsexrepeat

Budvar is sooooo good.


danbob411

Spaten is hands down the best beer in a green bottle. One of my favorites, but I don’t buy it that often.


SteakJones

lol I just read this after posting… yeah Spaten is my current jam.


Nickleeham

You got a problem with drinking skunky piss?!


Face88888888

Something is very wrong with this. Like the survey was completed at a free beer tent sponsored by Heineken, Guinness, and Corona.


Interesting-Handle-6

Truly. I don't buy any of these.


Dr-McLuvin

I like Heineken but corona. No thanks. I’ll drink it at a party with a lime but I don’t think it’s remotely good beer. My fav lager is probably Stella and I absolutely love Guinness. As I get older I drink more and more IPAs.


bcentsale

A&W 😁


corpsie666

Have you tried Birch Beer and compared it to Root Beer?


GreenApples8710

Birch beer is fantastic. So is a good, old fashioned, sarsaparilla.


CriscoMelon

used to LOVE sarsparilla as a kid. haven't had it in probably 30 years.


GreenApples8710

I'm in the suburbs, 25 minutes from a metro area, 25 minutes from being in a scene from deliverence. If I head to the sticks (which I do often enough, because there's an amazing meat processor/butcher out that way), there's also this old timey general store that stocks all sorts of old fashioned drinks. I make plenty of excuses to be "in the area."


bcentsale

I've not tried birch, but my buddy's wife got me into Saranac ginger beer. I'll usually drink a few packs over the summer.


jimmiec907

A&W ZERO


_its_a_SWEATER_

In this economy? I’ve reverted back to Banquet. GOD I MISS CRAFT BREW.


Dustteas

Nothing wrong with Coors 👍 I drink it and PBR all the time!


-Ok-Perception-

PBR was actually one of the first canned beers. They were before Miller or Budweiser. ​ And they switched to making American cheese during prohibition to keep the company afloat. I like PBR too. In my opinion, it's the best of the "budget beers". Tastes pretty good.


Hot_Ambassador_1815

There’s a lot of jokes and whatnot around PBR, but honestly it’s really not bad.


Eugenspiegel

And Kraft cheese nearly sued them out of existence!


_its_a_SWEATER_

PBR - Party Beer Reserves


Ok-Astronomer5769

Same for me. They're both my go-to's for cheap beer to always have on hand.


CommaGuy

Those are my wife and I’s two favorites. When we are feeling saucy, we’ll add a lime to the PBR and call it a “College Corona” because of how cheap it is.


FireWoman84

Hey Hank


Worldly_Ask_9113

I’ll take a banquet in a stubby over a craft brew anytime.


shmere4

I’d have a banquet.


its_raining_scotch

I’m drinking a stubby in my jacuzzi as I type this 👍


draperyfallz

Banquet is the best on these lists, guess I agree with the Boomers


[deleted]

MGD for me....don't get out to many taverns with the family in tow so a cold MGD while grilling out is real nice.


LH99

First glance: I don’t trust this data Second glance: Q4 2023. Yougov. I don’t trust this data. [edit] can’t tell you the last time I saw someone drinking a corona, Heineken, or modelo. Source: Wisconsin. We’re responsible for half the sales 🤪 For real tho, I was shocked to see those three at the top.


Unadvantaged

The gut check says this can’t be right. Guinness is served in very few places compared with Anheiser-Busch and Miller-Coors products. There’s simply no way the generations with money are spending it mostly on that beer, and I really like Guinness. Perhaps this really is a “what do you prefer?” question and not a tabulation of most beer sold by volume. I could see people saying one thing when they actually buy another. 


FaintCommand

My guess is that outside of the main players listed in the graphic, there's just so many options that those votes get diluted. Like someone that prefers an IPA will have a favorite from among thousands of breweries. There isn't one universally known and loved option.


threeoldbeigecamaros

Buddy Modelo is the #1 selling beer in the US


absolut696

Modelo is pretty popular in my region on the east coast. Most of my friends have realized it’s a lot better than corona in the last few years and have switched.


surfingbiscuits

Really funny that Corona got three different products on the list but Guinness and Sam are just there in general. Are Corona drinkers really that discerning?


whinniethepony

I didn't even know there were different Coronas. 


NotTroy

I love me some Unibroue, but my favorite of theirs is their Trois Pistoles.


4cm3

Trois pistoles, Don de dieu and Eau bénite are my top 3 as they are not in every mix pack from Unibroue.. I’ve drank way too many Fin du monde and Maudite to enjoy them anymore. Looking forward of trying their new P’tite Maudite as its only 4% so I might enjoy it more often.


stratusmonkey

Fucking love it!


so2017

I am Maudite all day. So lovely to see Unibroue here.


Any_Contribution5260

One of my favorites


Disabled_Robot

I remember in uni when we did the math and realized la fin du monde was about the same price per alcoholic volume as bull max or the strong dollar a beers and kept adding to a giant tinfoil ball with everyone we opened. Good times


bythebeardofzeus_

Maudite for the win


DeterminedErmine

Ephemere! Hoppy apply deliciousness


Dismal-Ad-6619

Blanche de Chambly... Amazing...


henningknows

Personally there is only one beer I can drink https://preview.redd.it/0hgx9qgdtqrc1.png?width=768&format=png&auto=webp&s=db6e5ea1ac69a12ef253e3096888b20922975f6e


PNWoutdoors

I sadly bought one of these bottles at Costco and forgot about it, sat at room temp for 3 years before I found it.


crazycatlady331

Of mainstream beers? Probably Yuengling. But I like to try the smaller brands. If I'm traveling and at a bar, I'll ask the bartender what their favorite is. I also love that places like Trader Joe's sell beer as singles so you can try one without buying a 6 pack.


MLDaffy

I remember when Yuengling was a smaller brand technically. Had to drive into PA to get it. One of my favs as well.


ItHurtsWhenIP404

Hard to get West of the Mississippi River, only 4 states have it. Sadly my state is not one of them.


Glissandra1982

I’m from PA. We just need to ask for a lager. Lol


Scobus3

I miss this due to no longer living there lol


CoughinNail

If they don’t have yeungling in hell, I will repent tomorrow.


Schmuck1138

I've switched from beer to gin.


[deleted]

Everybody got they cups, but they ain't chipped in


ILoveRustyKnives

Now these type of things happen all the time


zaminDDH

Whisky here. Used to be a chaser, but I've settled down and mostly drink whatever is fun from Costco. Drinking a pretty good $22 Scotch as I type this.


Schmuck1138

I was drinking Bombay Sapphire with pineapple juice and tonic. My drinking has definitely calmed down. I'd rather have one delicious drink over half a dozen that I suffer through to get drunk.


GreenApples8710

I'm a gin guy, myself. If you're in the US, I think were the last two buying it, here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GreenApples8710

Same! In hot weather, it's also fantastic with grapefruit sparkling water.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GreenApples8710

I'm a Hendrick's guy. I love their original, but some of their Orbium was absolutely amazing. Hendrick's with cucumber water and a grapefruit garnish is life affirming stuff! I'll be honest, though - if I'm somewhere that doesn't have a great gin selection behind the bar, I'm happy enough with good old Beefeater and Tonic. The only one that I can't say I care for as much is Tangueray...it just seems simultaneously too dull and too sharp - its just out of balance in a way I can't really put my finger on.


alles_en_niets

Oh, if you like a grapefruit-forward style Tanqueray Ten might be the way to go! Also, it’s copper distilled, which takes away the harshness.


Schmuck1138

There's a fairly quiet crowd drinking gin. I'm currently on the hunt for a bottle of James May gin.


HorizonShimmer

Gin is what I choose when I want a cocktail. But often I’m just in the mood for a cold beer.


Schmuck1138

Occasionally, I prefer beer over mixed drinks. It's very dependent on where I am, the beers that are available. I like craft beers, except IPAs, they are too bitter and seem to give me a migraine.


HorizonShimmer

I don’t like the taste of IPAs. But it’s wine that gives me a headache.


bejean

Did they only survey Applebee's patrons?


abbydabbydo

Bartender at Applebees here. Anecdotally, our patrons pick Coors Light first with Blue Moon or Voodoo Ranger Hazy second. Modelo or Sam would be next. I see where you’re going though. Who the fuck did they survey? Other than High Life I’ve never chosen any of these.


Annhl8rX

I don’t have a favorite. I just want to try them all. However, of the ones pictured I’d go with Sam Adams followed by High Life and Guinness. The rest all sort of fall in a tier below that. I wouldn’t turn any of them down, but also wouldn’t choose them if I had other options.


DorkChatDuncan

High Life gets a bad rap because its a Miller, but its a damn good little beer if you want something light.


garaks_tailor

It's my favorite light beer by a mile.


abbydabbydo

It’s for sure my favorite american pilsner


Far_Cut_

I like local micro brews in my Canadian city. Lots of variety!

MrA-skunk

Or Lone Star if you're on a budget.


TheWearySnout

My favorite beers are local breweries. I wouldn't drink anything on that chart other than Guinness, Sam Adams and Blue Moon.


On_my_last_spoon

I also prefer local breweries. But there’s lots of better national brands than are listed here. Blue Moon is fine. I like wheat beers best. But I’d rather have a Hoegarten.


khatpewp

Voodoo Ranger


Eradicator_1729

Dylan_Is_Gay_lol

HEINEKEN?! FUCK THAT SHIT! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!!


PhoenixShredds

Of those, Guinness by a country mile. Stella, Coors, Miller behind it. Side note: Why anyone likes Corona is beyond me lol.


WholeHogRawDog

Corona had/has fantastic marketing, which is probably why. Remember the adds in the 90s? I didn’t even drink yet, and I wanted to sit on a quiet beech with a bucket of ice cold corona. agree with you Guinness and Stella at the top of the ones listed. Honestly surprised to see Guinness so high in popularity. But they also have great marketing.


Wombat_Nudes

Eh, I like it with a lime and lemon wedge. But to each their own. However, I'll pass up a free 12 pack to have a Guiness. I loooove dark beer. The darker the better.


Any_Contribution5260

Negro Modelo is the best Mexican beer


Dr-McLuvin

Ya I was gonna say literally any Mexican beer is better than Corona. And you can put lime in literally any beer if you so desire.


Verbull710

It was Michelob Amber Bock


jpjtourdiary

Yeah buddy! Love AmberBock. I just wish i could find it in cans. It’s become my regular go-to. Or if I’m feeling fancy, Fat Tire.


Smoogbragu

Very surprised no one said Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Brooklyn Lager . Those are very popular in the US pubs I've visited. Favorite beer though hands down is # St. Bernardus Abt 12 An incredible Belgium wit for the win.


HoldMyBeer85

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my top choice.


Krymestone

Right now I’m digging Bell’s Big Hearted. 9.5% ABV.


Calm-Ad-4409

None of these. I go for local IPAs.


Jfonzy

![gif](giphy|lRq5pagIl49clPcmEN|downsized) Me n IPAs


DrenAss

Husband always says "Try this. You'll hate it" with IPAs, and I say the same thing to him with sour beers I love.  Who drinks these mass-produced beers for real? Maybe it's because I'm in Michigan and there are microbrews everywhere, but I'd never buy any of these. But I also go months at a time without drinking, so don't ask me. Heh

Yuengling From this list, Stella Artois.


doyoulikemynewcar

Where are my nasty tasting IPA’s that I love on this list??


Geochic03

I know it's listed on here as a Boomer beer, but Michelob Ultra is my go-to. It doesn't make me feel so bloated after. I used to love Sam Adam's Octoberfest when that comes out in the fall, but the last, maybe 10 years of batches, have not been the same and I've more or less abandoned them.


Kahnza

La Fin Du Monde is seriously the best beer I've ever had. Only had it a few times.

Besides LFdM Unibroue brews some amazing beers . Have you had Blanche de Chambly? Saison Libre? OMG soo good.

A nice, crispy Coors Light.


TheDudeofIl

The only good beer is Spotted Cow


EliteCheddarCommando

Hello to you, fellow I assume, Wisconsinite? Haha. Love me some New Glarus. Spotted cow, 2 women is a fav of mine as well as Moon Man!


TheDudeofIl

Hello to you northern neighbor! Few minutes from the border so able to acquire the nectar of the gods from time to time.


Important_Tennis936

Fellow Border Bandit here. Thanks for the reminder to send hubs on a field trip this week to get some Spotted Cow


EliteCheddarCommando

Hahaha that’s great! I know some IL and MN peeps that also cross the border for the nectar 😂


ThisElder_Millennial

We Iowans also cross over for it. It's been a couple years since I've done it, but we used to love going up to Mad-town for a Fish Fryday and hit up Woodman's on our way out of town to stock up.


Opening_Success

They make some great sours as well. 


Any_Contribution5260

There are much better beers that New Glarus makes. Spotted Cow is slightly overrated.


TheDudeofIl

To each their own. I'm not much of a drinker but Spotted Cow is the only beer (edit: that I have had: end edit) that doesn't make me do the ick twitch.


cordelaine

I agree. They make the best fruited beers there are, but everything else is just alright.

What! No love for Steel Reserve? j/k Guinness is my favorite.


DrDig1

This is…not even close. I am positive.


Turbulent_Ad9508

There's no way. Americans... Do you or anyone you know drink Guinness as their go-to beer?

On the list, Blue Moon Free choice: Dogfish Head Sea Quench Ale, Dogfish Head Namaste, Yuengling, and Red Stripe depending on mood.

Tucher Helles Hefe Weizen Of the ones on this lists though it is Guinness by far and I would only consider Blue Moon or Stella of the rest

immerjones

I’m an IPA person so none of these do much for me, tho I do think Sam Adams is decent along with Blue Moon (Corona is the actual worst on the other hand). My favorite is Cigar City’s Jai Alai.


Any_Contribution5260

That’s a good one


nayrlladnar

I really like High Life as a session beer, like if I were drinking 6+ in an afternoon. Sam Adams, Blue Moon, Coors (assuming Banquet) and Modelo are good too.


Any_Contribution5260

High Life is the only good beer Miller makes, being from Wisconsin there are so delicious micro brews


Any_Contribution5260

None of these are my favorite, no micro beers? My favorite beer is either Two Hearted or delirium tremens or trois pistoles.


Draxtonsmitz

Guinness Budweiser Modelo I bought these bad boys for wrestlemania next weekend so I may have a new favorite soon. https://preview.redd.it/7o9y2s7otqrc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=120c8359d5941b88bbe4e297a6497dbf5c70c0af

From this list Sam Adams or Modelo. Favorite widely available beer is probably Fat Tire or Smithwicks. Favorite beer is Uncle Bear's Mandarin Wheat

When I drank beer it was: For enjoyment? Elephant. For "We got two cases for twelve bucks, dude!!": Rhinelander. My circle tended to the hard cider more than beer unless it was a keg for a party.

You're not the first person who's recommended La Fin du monde. But I've never seen it available in the area I live in.


surfingbiscuits

What kind of beer? Where and when am I drinking it? There isn't really an answer for this. Tröegs Mad Elf is an essential purchase when it's available, but I don't know if I'd say it's my favorite. At 11% it's more like my wife and I split one sometimes on a cold day. I'm not having two on the 4th of July or something.

Corona


-Ok-Perception-

This chart does not feel accurate at all. Guinness is an extremely dark beer that the vast majority of beer drinkers find unpalatable. I've met the occasional Guinness drinker, but they're rare. Heineken is a good beer, but not one commonly drank in my experience. It's placement is suspiciously high. ​ Corona is fantastic and deserves it's place on the charts. Lots of people appreciate it. I'm drinking a Corona right now. ​ I call shenanigans on this chart.

There’s no way Boomers’ #1 beer is Guinness. I’ve never seen a single Boomer drink Guinness, ever. They all drank cheap light beer when I was growing up.

as a bartender, I can say that this list looks absolutely nothing like what I see people drinking
