Want to know what to get for your next barbecue? Here's the basic beer folks around you like most.
![Various bottles of craft, microbrews, IPAs, bitter, ale, wheat, domestic and imported beer styles from around the world on shelf display in store.](https://bestlifeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/07/beers-grocery-store.jpg?quality=82&strip=1&resize=640%2C360)
If you're a beer drinker, you know that the market has gotten a bit more complex and, let's be honest, fancier these days. From craft beers to IPAs to sour ales, the world of beer isn't what it used to be. But even with more options than ever before, many of us still prefer to crack open a can of the kind of dependable, humble, inexpensive beer generations before us spent their weekends sipping. These beers might not be the most original or expensive, but that doesn't mean they're not great in their own right. And if that's the kind of brew you prefer, you're hardly alone. Of course, some are more popular than others, which is why the team at Workshopedia set out to discover the king of the kegger in every corner of the U.S. and they just published their findings this week.
Workshopedia conducted research over the last year to determine which "trashy beer," their words not ours, is most popular in each of the 50 U.S. states. Starting with a list of 36 popular inexpensive beers and tracking Google Trends search data over the last 12 months, they discovered the cheap beer each state searched for the most. Out of the beers tracked, 26 were the most popular in at least one state. But it was also clear Americans overall favor one inexpensive beer in particular. Think you got it? Nope, it's not Bud Light. Read on to find out which beer is the most popular in 10 U.S. states and which one reigns supreme where you call home!
