Vermont beer #1 in West Virginia

The most popular beer in West Virginia is Magic Hat #9, which advertises itself as “a not quite pale ale,” according to a poll of 6,000 bars and restaurants in America. It’s available at 50% of the state’s restaurants. The brewery is in South Burlington, Vermont.

Not surprisingly, Coors Light is No. 1 in Colorado, but only 37% of the restaurants have it on their menu. I’ve been to the Coors brewery and got 6 cups of 6 different brands of Coors. It was tough not to stagger out the exit.

Yuengling Lager is No. 1 in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Miller Lite among the puffs of Virginia and Bell’s Oberon in Kentucky (for those not drinking bourbon).
