I can't seem to find a popularity list for beer, in sales.
Coor's Lite has to be on top, but what about the others?

That strikes me funny in a way. I usually drink Bud Light when I go out
bar hopping cause it has low alcohol, 3.8 as tested many years ago. When I go
to the beer store, It just seems like every other person has a 30 pack of
Coors Light, and I just don't see the Bud often.

I was trying to find the sales of Milwaukee's Best, but I do see its the
Miller company.

Yeah, well, beer sales still vary from region to region, neighborhood to
neighborhood and store to store, so judging by who's got what in line
isn't very accurate.

Those figures are for brands, not breweries. Miller's Milwaukee's Best
and Milwaukee's Best Light each have about 1% of the market, based on
this Beverage World 2007 Industry Report (

Beer starts on page 19).
