Americans love beer, there’s no hiding that fact. It’s ubiquitous in everything from day-to-day life to pop culture, where you’d be hard-pressed to find a show or movie that doesn’t depict a rugged main character ending the workday with a slug of an ice-cold brew. But which beer is America’s favorite?
While you may expect this to be a polarizing and impossible-to-answer query, it turns out that may not be the case.
The international market and data analytics website YouGov tackled this very question by aggregating the likability ratings on a list of popular beers. Each rating was calculated using the amount of nationally surveyed individuals who noted their feelings toward the particular beer as “positive.” These ratings were then placed in comparison with the others on the list to come up with a final ranking.
Here are the 25 beers Americans love the most, according to YouGov’s findings, as of September, 2022:
