About the data

About the data — But first, it’s important to note that this data comes courtesy of the Beer Advocate and a survey of over 3,900 Americans, asking them which were their favorite domestic light beers.

The #1 overall light beer? Bud Light. (Although there’s now data showing that Bud has been supplanted by a foreign beer overall.)

With that, on to the states!
