What a Man’s Choice in Beer Reveals About His Personality

Find out what a man's love for Budweiser says about his personality.

People have always said a man’s drink says a lot about his personality – but they’re often referring to hard liquor. What about beer, the real man’s drink? What can you tell about a man based on his brew? We did some investigating on the subject, and here's what we found:

Budweiser: The All-American
If you visit Budweiser’s website, you’ll learn that Adolphus Busch, the founder of Budweiser, believed there were three ways to do things, “the wrong way, the right way, and the better way.” He used practical innovation to create a great American lager. He was a down-to-earth dreamer, not a daydreamer. He forged his business through the tough years of prohibition and built a company that is now an iconic representation of the American dream. From what we’ve discovered, Busch infused some of his inspiring personality into his brewery; men who choose Budweiser tend to be sensible, grounded, and practical. They enjoy living in the moment and aren’t ones to plan in advance. They dislike the concept of authority and aren’t afraid to “live outside the box,” bearing a similar resemblance to the pioneer himself, Adolphus Busch.

Blue Moon: The Tree Hugger
People who drink Blue Moon tend to have an attitude that what they’re drinking is above what you’re drinking, and you’re not worthy of it, or capable of understanding why. They despise moral authorities and take pleasure in sarcastically criticizing the world around them, offering no useful solutions. Your best chances of spotting them are while they’re driving their hybrid car, shopping for organic food, surfing the Web on their Mac Book Pro, or hugging a tree.

Heineken: The Poser
Men who drink Heineken are an absolute catch. Their taste for luxury clothes, fancy cars, and fine dining is something the rest of us can only dream of. They’re always up-to-date with the latest technologies and will enthusiastically tell you about them. If you believe them when they tell you how smart, good looking, and successful they are (yes, them, not you), give them 110 percent of your undivided attention, then you're bound for a relationship full of eternal bravado and bliss.

Bud Light: The Frat Boy
When you think of Bud Light, does a frat boy playing drinking games in his Vineyard Vines polo come to mind? If your answer is yes, you’re probably familiar with the personality I’m about to describe. Bud Light drinkers tend to be outgoing and easy to get along with, making for a great personality to be with in a social setting. But be forewarned; they also lack a certain sensibility when it comes to risk-taking and carefulness, so if you spend too much time with them you, too, may end up crossing the lines of socially acceptable behavior. Now, let’s play a game; which came first, the Bud Light or the frat guy? That may be harder to figure out than the chicken and the egg conundrum.

Corona: The Party Animal
Always expect something extra when hanging out with Corona drinkers; these people are energetic, fun, and the life of the party. They’ll make strangers feel like friends, and perhaps some friends feel like lovers. While their extroverted personality may be a little much for a Tuesday night happy hour, give them a chance because they’re likely hiding an altruistic side that’s yearning to come out.

Michelob Ultra: The Ultra … OK
There’s nothing ultra good or ultra bad about this guy. He’s likely hip and handsome, but at times a bit conceited; he can be confrontational and at times controlling, but we like a man with a strong opinion. He’s also more likely than the average person to consider sustainability a priority, so if you can get him to make sustaining you a priority, we don’t see any ultra red flags.

Abstainers: The Bore 
(If you opt out of drinking for health reasons, please exclude yourself from the following description.)
A study by Mindset Media actually revealed that abstainers are more likely than the average person to be uptight and view issues as black and white. So, whether or not you have a drink in your hand, always remember to put some personality into your life.
