Well done, Iowa. Well done. :smile: This is a map about which beer has the most tweets about it in a given location.

How anyone can drink Busch Light is beyond me

I only drink beer from local breweries. Yes Miller is local for me, but Miller Lite is gross and gives me a terrible headache.

I wonder why Iowa has the most tweets about Busch Light?

How anyone can drink anything but Busch Light is beyond me

Fixed it.

 

[CyOps]

It doesn't say if the tweets are good or bad.

Because its good and delicious

And just think around 15 years ago we were known as a Natural Light state..

I wonder if the area's of not enough data were just too drunk to answer the survey.

Jeez, was it that long ago already? Yikes!

Can we blame CW?

I'm all for it at a tailgate or out boating, but just grabbing one out of the fridge because I want a beer? No thanks. Give me a Sam Adams any day.

The only thing that impresses me about the big brewers is their quality control. Being able to brew as much beer as they do with essentially no variance in the product is amazing and shows a high level of detail (if you've ever brewed beer before it's even more impressive).

However, I'm not a fan in general.

Pretty easy to maintain low standards.

What a scientific way to rate beer. :twitcy:

 

[dmclone]

I think these maps are a load of crap. I'd bet there are at least 5 other beer companies that Iowan's tweet more about then Grain Belt.




OK this makes more sense

So the researchers looked at 14 of some of the highest-selling beers after the big four, and mapped the areas where tweets about them are particularly likely to come from.

Fixed it.

[RubyClone]

There's enough difference between those four to make a distinction?

CW is probably getting a cut from all of his Busch Light peddling.

I wish we had Yeungling in Iowa
