MAP: The Most Popular Beer In Every Country
Vinepair ^ | Mar 11 2015 | Joshua Malin

Posted on 05/15/2015 7:51:41 AM PDT by Duke C.

After publishing our guide to America’s most popular beers, many people asked us to take a look at the rest of the world. Our curiosity piqued, we set out to find every country in the world’s most popular beer. The map below brings together dozens of sources, from research reports to corporate filings, to reveal the most popular beers in over 100 countries. As you can see, the beer brands of the world are as diverse as our planet itself — though a handful of massive multinational brewers own a staggering number of these brands, which we’ll be exploring in the future.

Thanks for the post. Interesting. I can’t remember the last time I had a Budwater (it’s been several years). I’m only drinking craft beers…in particular IPAs and doubleIPAs.

The human race is doomed.

In almost every country the preferred beer is not the best, but the most advertised.

The only partial exception is Ireland where the most advertised beer happens also to be good.

Though on a trip to Ireland a while back I saw a lot of Irishmen drinking Heineken.

Bud Lite. Effete beer. Not a good sign for American manhood.

Here in B.C., we are blessed with dozens of micro-breweries, all of them producing a good range of drinkable beers.

I was raised on Old Style back in the ‘60s, switched to Granville Island IPA in the ‘80s, and now prefer Okanagan Springs Porter.

It sticks to the ribs as well as clocking in at 8% alcohol!

Nobody I know drinks Budweiser, except long necks whilst on a Nevada holiday!

There is no way that Heineken is the most popular beer in the Netherlands.

It's not even in the top 10 as far as taste.

Here in the states, any brew over 7% is no longer considered beer. It's called malt liquor. Olde English and King Cobra are couple of urban favorites.

It's all just talk, unless it's the one they call "Coldcock."

We went to a very small Cay in the Bahamas. The place we stayed had a gal that did everything, checked you in, showed you to your room, and then was bartender for before dinner. She was in our room one morning before we were headed into the small town to buy liquor. She said....oh since you are headed to the liquor store can you bring me back something imported? We asked what she wanted and she said Bud Lite. We laughed our tails off and said.....really?

Belgium is home to some of the world's best beers, but the most popular, Jupiler, is even worse than Bud. It's chief virtue is that it's cheap. Stella is the second most popular - made by the same brewer. Somehow, Stella is viewed as a premium beer both in the USA and UK.

On the other hand, Chimay rocks!

Heineken is ubiquitous in Holland, but Amstel Light is much better.

1) Shiner Bock
2) Lone Star (the National Beer of Texas)
3) Leinenkugel
4) Icehouse
5) Twin Peaks Dirty Blonde

** My choices for READILY AVAILABLE are Miller Lite or Coors Light.

Those are my choices, in order of preference. I also have some other favorites: San Miguel, Pilsner Urquell, Orion, Fosters, Guinness, Yuengling, Widmer Brothers Hefe - in no particular order.

I do NOT like ANYTHING Budweiser (except for Bud Light Platinum).

Re: German beer

I don’t even recognize the beer label they’ve pasted over Germany on that map. Also, in Germany, it makes no sense to limit yourself to just one brand/flavor when it’s so regionalized. The best beer I had when I was there so many years ago was the original Budweiser/Budvar from the Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic.

I recently had some Leinenkugel from the tap with their Summer Shandy and found it to be quite tasty and satisfying for a post-golf thirst, along with a really great burger. I know some don’t care for “flavored” beers but this one gets it right, IMO.

A home brew I made one time turned out very much like a Mexican Amber Ale and I found it quite drinkable.
