Yuengling must be a conservative beer. I drink it and I assume you drink it. My conservative friends drink it.

I also drink Sam Adams and occasionally some micro-brews. Most of the time I drink bourbon, either straight or with rocks. I don’t know any liberals that drink bourbon, but I don’t make it a habit to drink with liberals.

Similarly, pollsters sometimes ask the question, "Who would you rather have a beer with?" to gauge which candidate has the likeability edge.

Romney doesn't drink beer and Bush gave it up later in life.

I wouldn't want to hang with a douchebag like Obama even if I got an invite to the White House.

The graph is about as BS as their polling. I drink Heineken, Stella, Dos Equis, and Guiness, yet I’m about as Conservative as they come

Likewise. I drink only Becks or if not available, Heineken and I'm to the "right" of Jen-Jis (as the bottom-feeding, Traitor, John Kerry pronounces it) Khan.

Make mine Alltech’s Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale (KBBA)

UGH!!! NO! I bought a 6 pack of this stuff on the recommendation of a "beer aficionado" and didn't make it through the first bottle.

Bourbon and beer do not belong together.

Did anyone else notice the upper left hand quadrant (Democrats that vote) has a huge gap? The left side of that quadrant is blank.

It looks to me like those that identify strongly as a Democrat and who vote (in other words: the people that are actively involved in the Democratic party) as a statistical group don’t drink beer at all.

Maybe the old saw about the Democratic party being run by elitist wine drinking snobs is true after all.

The first time i had that beer was a hot summer day walking home from work. I stopped off at the pub completely cotton mouthed. I foolishly downed three entirely too quickly because of the heat. Felt fine till i got off the stool and things went sideways.
Try the Alltech's Kentucky Ale Lite - it's not really a light beer, it's a kolsch, but they can't call it a kolsch because it isn't made in germany. It's darn refreshing.

Sam Adams Boston Lager........I’m in the right quadrant with it, too.

Yeah, but isn't their founder, Jim Koch, a big lib?

Let us not forget that Anheuser-Busch re-tooled their main brewery in Tampa, FL to brew Yeungling, and it’s a HUGE favorite for us Tampans given that it’s one of the cheaper brews in the cooler.

I’m a stalwart Sammy drinker, but when I bring something to a party, it’s always Yeungling first.

FWIW, my cousin graduated from Marshall in Lancaster, and his graduation was my first exposure to Yeungling. I loved it ever since and was overjoyed when they started brewing here in FL.

Maybe they should ask “who would you rather go to a football game with?”

On that list I drink Stella, Guinness, Sams and Dos Equis. They got the frequency right but the alignment is all wrong. Of course they don’t have any of my primary “go to” beers, which would be the entire lines of New Belgium and Flying Dog.

I didn’t see “Cold Beer” or “Free Beer” on the chart.

I have no idea what Jim Koch’s politics are. I like his beer. And, since I drink about 2 beers a month, I’m not really his best customer.
