The United States of beer: the ultimate Bud Light vs. Blue Moon showdown
/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3360352/beer_by_state.0.png)
This map of a nonscientific survey of 5,249 Americans shows that the nation's favorite beers are a patchwork of both history and innovation: from Yuengling the oldest operating brewery in America to the Colorado-based Blue Moon Brewing Company, which has only been making its Belgian-style wheat beers since 1995.
Although this map might make it seem that the country has gone completely gaga for Blue Moon, it's important to keep in mind that some states have more people than others. California alone has about as many residents as the western Blue Moon region combined (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska, and Minnesota). Texas' Bud Light pulls a lot of weight, too. (Also, people's favorite beers may not be the beers they drink most often.)

We get Sam... including all the "seasonal brews" and so on.
Yuengling is OK.
Corona is Bud with a Spanish accent... but Bud is tasteless regardless of the language. The only beer that has even less taste is Coors.
Does everyone know that Bud is now Belgian?
Is Oregon one of the states where marijuana is legal?
Could make for an very interesting beer...
Bud drinkers live longer - due to it's high concentration of formaldehyle - a known preservative (for scientific experimentation samples)
