Beer Drinkin’ Fer Real Americuns!

Americans want something brewed on American soil when it comes to beer, and their top choice is Budweiser.

A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 69% of American beer drinkers choose domestic beers over imported ones;  22%  like imported beers more. They're much more closely divided, however, when it comes to what kind of beer to drink:  49% choose a light beer, while 46% prefer a regular one.  Other findings:

• Given a choice, 25% say they are most likely to drink Budweiser. Second choice is Miller (19%), followed by Sam Adams (7%). Coors, Heineken, Corona, Pabst and Guinness are next, in descending order, with each the favorite of between 3% and 6% of beer drinkers. Another 25% choose some other brand.
• 51% of beer drinkers are more likely to drink at home, while 38% are more likely to order a beer in a bar or restaurant.
• Men prefer domestic beers more than women do and are also much more likely to have a beer at home than in a restaurant.
• Adults 18 to 29 are the only age group in which the majority are more likely to have a beer in a bar or restaurant than at home. Beer drinkers under 40 are more inclined to have a regular beer, while those over 40 are more likely to choose a light one.
• Miller is the top choice of 26% of male beer drinkers, while 34% of women prefer a Bud.
