Where Does Wisconsin & Illinois Rank For Beer Drinking?

The residents of both Illinois and Wisconsin love to drink beer but how does their consumption compare to other states?

Illinois And Wisconsin Are Both Top Rated For Drinking Beer In The U.S.

I understand research needs to be done by experts so we can learn about things. Sometimes, I wonder to myself was that really necessary? Don't we already know that? That was a bunch of money just thrown away for nothing.

That was my first thought when I read the results for which states drink the most beer. Is that something we really need to know? I'm not a scientist but I could've told you the answer without any work or cash needed.

After their extensive research, Inner Body found that Wisconsin is the state that drinks the most beer. Really? Are you kidding me? This is a joke, right? Like I said earlier, I could've told them that. In fact, I think the majority of Americans could've too.

Don't get down residents of Illinois, your state is at number two. That's pretty impressive. I'm not surprised at all about those results too. So if you like drinking beer, then you're living in the right part of the country.

Now, here's something that was a shocker. Milwaukee is the second-best beer city behind Grand Rapids. I definitely don't agree with that one. Once again, these surveys are a big joke.

On a side note, the most popular beers in Wisconsin are Miller Lite, MGD, and High Life. Again, not a surprise. For Illinois, it's Guinness which seems a little strange.

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
