The United States is home of some of the biggest beer names in the world, but surprisingly, America's favorite beer is not a domestic one; it’s the Irish brand Guinness.
Guinness Draught, a 4.5% Irish stout, tends to be the easiest beer to find in bars and the company's top beer choice in America, based on a survey conducted by YouGov.
The second most popular beer in America, Modelo, is a Mexican brew that fell just a few points behind Guinness. Another Mexican beer brand, Corona, took third place.
When we look at more concrete data of annual sales, the rankings change. In terms of sales, Modelo is number one, beating Bud Light for the most off-premise sales in 2024.
