Bud light WAS number one for 20+ years. Modelo replaced it when people boycotted Bud because of its trans spokesperson. Now, Michelob Light has replaced Modelo as number one. Seems a large number of Modelo drinkers are Latino, and are afraid to go to bars because ICE might find and deport them.

So, answer is... MICHELOB LIGHT.

Sorry.. MICHELOB ULTRA is the correct answer.

I’m guessing Bud Light. Most of the time, after (or before, or during😅) my hockey games the designated beer guy brings Bud Light, or Coors, either Light or Banquet. Last night we had PBR. They don’t just hand out blue ribbons for nothing😝 Tuesday night we had “Chick-elob” Ultra🤣

I’d say Bud Light is the most common though, despite Kid Rock’s best efforts🤦‍♂️🤣 Imagine caring🙄🤦‍♂️🤣

By the way, all the Bud Light haters…. I'm sure FoxNews and the like didn’t present it honestly, but you all should know the Dylan Mulvaney can that caused all the ridiculous performative right wing backlash was one-of-one and ONLY sent to Dylan herself, right? Probably not🤦‍♂️ But there’s a reason all the Bud Light cans people threw out all just said “Bud Light” on them and had no picture of Dylan…. because she was never on the cans in the first place.

Americans are legitimately so dangerously fucking stupid🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Anywhooooo…. I’m a Guinness man, myself☘️ A meal in a can, lmao

[OlderAndWiser]

Mich Ultra?

[exitseven]

that was my second choice. All the big beer drinkers I know like PBR. Maybe because it is cheap.

[OlderAndWiser]

@exitseven In college, we called it Piss Blue Ribbon

[exitseven]

yes but all the guys I know in the trades love this stuff. Maybe because it is cheap.

[OlderAndWiser]

@exitseven They don't l love it for the taste!

[OlderAndWiser]

Do you work in the trades? Years ago, I was an electrician's helper.

[exitseven]

I went into the trades years ago as an electrician. I could not deal with heights so i got into IT and work with computer networks. I could drink with the best of them though.

I know near nowt about American beer. I was under the impression Bud, Millers, and Coors made up 90% of sales. The only two brands I recognise there are Guinness and bud. I know Bud sales plummeted because you guys make everything political and I'm not sure Guinness is to American taste.

I don't know the answer but I've a gut feeling drinking those foreign looking brands might get you carted away by ICE for questioning so I'm going for the last on the list.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@purplepoppy regardless y'all, say no to the grog (no to drinking) lol 😆 just good wholesome water, milk, juice, the good fluids in life 🤗 especially water 🥤 🌊

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Michelob Ultra

@AviatorTom

Thank you, Tom, for the MHO. :)

Unfortunately, I don't have data or predictions for US beer sales in September 2025. Staying updated with global culinary trends and consumer preferences is fascinating, especially when it comes to the evolving landscape of beverages. Trying craft beers that captivate with their unique flavors can be just as exciting as savoring traditional favorites. Cheers to delicious sips, no matter the leader! 🍻

[beefcakebradybatson]

Budweiser.(But I'm probably wrong.)

[OneViewpoint]

In recent years Modelo and Corona have been the top sellers. They happen to be my favorites too. Both are a Mexican style lager with a great light taste but nowhere near as heavy and rich as something like Sam Adams German Style Boston Lager. Modelo and Corona are perfect with food. Sam Adams is really filling, almost like a dessert.

When I drank it was Miller draft. I dont have a clue now days. I live in Reno and we have a couple of our own beers that are grown here. I they use to be good

[mysteriousNicholas]

@ohsheeT *when I drank* that is why, a thumbs up. I for one think all grog (booze) is vile (alcohol with or removed ( lol 😆 lol no one wants sadly to party with water or soda

[Staximus]

I'm going with Modelo. When I worked at the bar there was an even every month and we would literally sell about $10,000 worth of Modelo

[Cidknee]

Models i say. It can't be BL after the workers. Can it?

[Cidknee]

Modelo!

[Cidknee]

*Modelo
*wokness

[Xawyx-2]

I usually don't drink beer, or any other alcohol, but I know about Guiness and Bud Light.

I presume one of those two beers is the most popular?

[jennifer_bloom]

I voted for Guinness, cause that is only one of two brands I recognize there.

[douride2]

I'm not much of a beer drinker & I'm not from the US. My guess just on name familiarity is Bud Light.

[exitseven]

I think it is PBR. Nobody will touch Bud Light anymore.

[AngryCarl2]

I'd assume it's something like Coors, if you can even call that beer.

[mysteriousNicholas]

Well it's not bud light

[mysteriousNicholas]

Say no to beer y'all - drink water or soft drink or juice or soda or pop - lol : put those bars and breweries out of business, the world over lol 😆 peace out

[mysteriousNicholas]

Hell, as a smarter owl , I don't drink - 👀

[mysteriousNicholas]

@AviatorTom the smarter owls get the worms lol 🐛🪱

[AngryCarl2]

@mysteriousnicholas Most US beers are just fizzy water, so no worries there.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@AngryCarl2 and that's why I don't drink, besides church wine in the past. I just drink water, soda, (pop), juice, or milk or milk products - alcohol or alcohol removed, is crap to my tastebuds 👅😛 lick lick

[mysteriousNicholas]

@AviatorTom well the irony is I vote Bud Light days ago 🍺🍻 vile - all alcohol to me, or removed, is vile 🤮🤢

[mysteriousNicholas]

@AngryCarl2 have a good weekend good Carl

[AngryCarl2]

@mysteriousnicholas You too man.

[LiamS95]

It's definetly Michelob Ultra.

[chrissykerdock]

budweiser 2nd to none

[Shiprex]

It is probably Carlsberg

[Massageman]

Because it was the number 1 seller.

[RedInnocent69]

It’s not real beer, but probably Bud Light

[CrystalPeak]

Keystone

[beefcakebradybatson]

BUD!!!
