A recent poll by research and analytics group YouGov ranked the 75 most popular beers in the US, as indicated by participants, who based ratings on favorability and knowledge of the brands.

9. Bud Light
Budweiser’s light beer was first introduced in 1982 and is known by its cobalt blue labeling. Data by the Beer Marketer’s Insights in 2019 reviewed shipping numbers, which determined (based on how much is shipped to retailers), Bud Light is America’s most popular beer brand.
