A few years ago Vine Pair posted their findings regarding what time of year American consume the most beer. The results vary depending if you are drinking out or staying home:

  • Drinking beer out at a bar or restaurant:
    1. St. Patrick's Day
    2. Super Bowl Sunday
    3. Cinco De Mayo
  • Drinking beer at home:
    1. 4th of July
    2. Memorial Day
    3. Labor Day

The barista blog Coffeeness, took a unique approach when determining the most popular beer brands in America. Using Google trends, among other methods, rather than sales Coffeeness determined the most-searched brands.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time.

The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
