Bud Light! :wacko:

Overview of favorite beers (and cocktails/shots) per state:

A light beer is their favourite? What is this, Sweden?

Well, the graphic claims Blue Moon is America's favorite beer, and Blue Moon is not a light beer.

But that seems to me that is just based on it being voted the favorite in the greatest number of States, but a lot of those States are very low population.

If we were counting by electoral votes it would've been:

Blue Moon: 178
Coors Light: 18
Sam Adams: 67
Corona: 59
Yuengling: 98
Bud Light: 108
Miller Lite: 10

So Blue Moon still would get the largest share even going roughly by population (as EV is the quickest proxy I can create without actually using real population numbers and just playing around with "make your own Electoral College" maps online.) So non-light beers would get 402 EVs, light beers would only get 136.

Does Bud Light even count as beer?

How is American beer like having sex in a canoe?

They're both fucking pretty close to water.

Blue Moon, you left me standing alone. Without a drink in my hand, without a love of my own.

That was reasonably funny the first 8 times it was posted.

I'm partial to all the North American bears myself; black, grizzly, polar, they're all pretty great.

Good thing for you guys (Jos in particular) that I noticed this thread right at the beginning of the baseball game.

Probably because it didn't want to carry its retarded cub to term.

OE, Schlitz, Colt 45?

Loved those hefty Colt .45 40 ounces in college.  One 40 oz lasted me for quite a while.  :D

Schlitz we got in the tall cans, the way Artie Donovan said God intended.

There was a fad for Colt 45 and some other similar US beers in the UK back in the seventies, they came in 440ml cans IIRC and were reasonably cheap as this was an active attempt to break into the British market. I think they came in a couple of years after the "Red Revolution" which introduced Watney's red barrel to an unimpressed public.............market share must have seem ripe for the picking; Harp lager, a rather feeble lager made by Guinness was also grabbing market share at the time. Most of these not great beers were later swamped by the revival of real ales and imported beers from the Continent.
