Here's a fun fact...

For 2008 the only craft beers to beat out King Cobra, Colt 45 & Olde English 800 in total volume sales were Yuengling and Sam Adams Boston Lager.

Now before anyone jumps down my throat about Yuengling and SA not being craft beers, please note I'm using the industry designation for them, not what all of us beer geeks would consider them.

Apparently we Americans prefer our 40's of malt liquor to a nice tastey craft brew....

In a country that considers "reality" shows as entertainment, your fun fact should not surprise anyone.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown by state.

Sounds like the malt liquor business is a fine one to be in.

haha...you forget to remember that most poor people can only afford those and that most of those people buy alcohol. Also...I love Yuengling

I do agree that it is crap though.

I'm not sure what the obvious comment is but I'm pissed off that Mickey's isn't on the list.

Actually, mickey's is in the top 100, but there are some good beers ahead of it

That number is skewed by the Metro Detroit Area.

Not so.. Kid Rock drinks beer brewed by Michigan Brewing Company...

:rockin:

craft beer is definitely not popular at all. espically where i live. most people that i will let try some good beer usually tells me its too strong, or too dark, or too bitter, or like one person told me the other day about the old rasputin, "it doesnt have any drinkability, i cant finish one of those beers off." he precided to crush colt 45's and steel reserves.

This. I came here to drop some love for Mickey's on all the haters...represent.

FYI - Mickeys caps will screw onto the top of a Mississippi Mud bottle. in case you lose your original. I think they make neat little growlers.

I don't buy it in bottles or cans. I get empties from the beer place and I grab all the Mississippi Mud bottles I can, and all the Mickey's caps I can to go on them. The mickey's that I've seen come in largemouth green stubbies. Pretty cool bottles IMO.
