In August , a poll was released showing that the country is pretty much evenly split between people who prefer wine and those who prefer beer.

To investigate the geographic trends underlying this split, the geographers analyzed all geotagged tweets sent between June and May that mentioned either wine or beer, and mapped which areas had significantly higher numbers of one or the other.

As you can see, there's a definite pattern going on: most of the east and west coasts seem to prefer wine, or at least have an even split. The researchers speculate that this is partly driven by wine-growing regions in California, the Northwest, and Upstate New York, and traditional beer-brewing areas in the Midwest. B ut there also seems to be a definite urban-rural cultural trend reflected in the map, with inland cities like Atlanta and Phoenix dominated by wine tweets as well.

Craft beer might be getting more popular, but cheap light beers still rule: in , Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite and Busch Light were four of the top six selling beers the others were Budweiser and the timeless classic Natural Light. Bud light covers all of the south and most of the northeast. Noting this, Zook and Poorthuis decided to map where tweets mentioning each of these brands were dominant.

On the map, Bud Light's sales dominance is clearly apparent: it covers all of the South and most of the Northeast, along with other random pockets elsewhere. The only other beer that comes even close is Coors Light, the taste of the Rockies, which is popular out west.

It turns out that they share dominance in the same region of the Midwest, with Busch Light inexplicably popular in Iowa in particular. But looking solely at raw numbers of tweets tends to favor the massive beers and drown out all the smaller beers with passionate regional followings. 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. You'd think that these areas simply surround where each beer is brewed.

But the interesting thing is that in many of these cases, the actual brewery has moved on, but its customers haven't. Sam Adams, for instance, is beloved in New England but is mostly brewed in Cincinnati. National Bohemian a. Goose Island's flagship Ale, named after Chicago's area code, is still drank there, but is mostly brewed in Upstate New York , and Olympia, the pride of Washington state, is brewed in Los Angeles.

Why are so many beers getting brewed far from their birthplaces? In some cases, it's a result of attempts to cut costs. But many shifts reflect the remarkable consolidation of the beer industry , and the fact that most of the beers on this map — along with the mega-popular beers shown in map 2 — are owned by the same few companies.

Floating Sheep. The answer for poor but cultured people's true hatred of bud light beer and the rednecks that drink it.
