Let’s say you’re not a beer drinker personally, but you’re throwing a Super Bowl party for guests who are. Or maybe you love beer, but specifically only the hoppiest double IPAs and understand that’s not everyone’s bag. Or hey, maybe you’re just reaaaalllll nostalgic for college and all you ever buy is Keystone Ice. That’s cool, too.
Either way, you’re going to have to diversify your fridge for the waiting masses. You don’t need a curated list of wonderful local beers with notes of citrus pine or barrel aged goodness. You need beers you know people are going to drink — the kind of brews with enough mass appeal that anyone searching for suds is liable to scan the fridge, shrug and walk away happy with their choice.
You need the most popular beers you can find. And these, per YouGov’s polling are the most popular. They’re absolutely not the best — but if you’re looking for common ground, this is it.
