What Does the Beer You Drink Say About Your Politics?

[Image: National Journal]

This is really interesting stuff. Notable bits I’m finding:

—the obvious college-drunk beers (Corona, Budweiser, Natty Light) are mainly in lower-turnout half of the graph…

—…on that note, where’s PBR and Yuengling? (granted, Yuengling is more a regional thing, but still…)

—Michelob has different varieties for different politics. Liberal? Straight Michelob. Conservative: How about ULTRA-Conservative? In the middle? Fine you milquetoast, have a Michelob Light.

—Even a liberal/conservative split on Canadian beer—Democrats prefer Molson, Republicans prefer Labatt.
