Americans Will Consume 50 Million Cases of Beer Next Sunday and 94.1% of it Will be Terrible

Each and every year during the two week gap leading up to the Super Bowl, we often see ridiculous stats along the lines of “75 million pepperoni pizzas will be eaten” and other whimsical numbers that serve as a stark reminder of just how fat America truly is. But in addition to the standard and expected fatness, it should also be noted that an overwhelming majority of this country’s population happens to favor awful beer.

Take a look at the handy graphic at right. Of the 50 million cases of beer that will be consumed on Super Bowl Sunday, 94.1% of it will either be Bud Light, Budweiser, Coors Light, Miller Lite, or Natural Light.

Impressively unimpressive. Stay tasteless, my friends.

This is coming from a blog called Save On Brew. I find this 94.1% number implausible. It also considers Shiner Bock a craft beer. That ship sailed a long time ago.

Djokovic’s wide eyed blond girlfriend is so annoying. Let’s go Nadal!

Drank a Bud-light the other day after about a year of no beer at all, just liquor.

I couldn’t finish it. That stuff really is awful.

I kinda like Djokovic’s girlfriend. Cameras aren’t on her too much.

Nice set in progress…

Cheap and awful beer has a place in everyone’s life. Kinda like that box of instant mac and cheese in the pantry. You consume it and consume more than you should, but you’d really like all your friends to know how much of a foodie you are by quoting cooking shows.

I can’t argue with that. Hamm’s, Olympia, Old Milwaukee and I have shared some wonderful memories.

Super Bowl Sunday is Christmas for Pizza Delivery Drivers. If you work at a pizza place, worst day of the year.

What percentage is the craft brew known as Rolling Rock?

I drink high alcohol fancy locally brewed beer that costs like 8 bucks a pint, but I do it ironically.

What’s the deal with Hamm’s? It used to take up a tiny corner of one shelf at the local supermarket. Yesterday I noticed they had two huge pallets of the stuff on display in the middle of an aisle.

Perhaps your booze/grocery store is using a new distributor.

After reading comments on the blog for the last 3-4 years and hearing opinions on music, beer, food, and women, I’d imagine a gathering of TBL commenters looks something like this.

They still make Hamm’s?

I think Hamm’s is the beer that could not make it through PBR quality control. Right CRM?

That clip was amazing.
