Cheap Beer Proven to Be Popular Among Young and Hip

Areas highlighted on the map in red showcase the highest number of venues that serve a particular drink, and as the New York map above illustrates, Bud Light is by far the most prevalent beer across New York City. PBR, though, trumps Bud Light in the hipster mecca of Williamsburg, showcasing that at the very least, local bars most likely understand their flask-wielding, ukelele-playing customers.

It’s sort of a joke that the hipster beer of choice is PBR (mostly because it’s cheap, probably), but now there is actual data and heat maps that prove this to be true.
