Think you know which beer companies and brands have the most sway with beer lovers? For the past two years, the Beer Bloggers & Writers Conference has conducted an analysis of the world’s most influential beer brands on the Internet. This includes beer brands, apps, organizations, restaurants, bars, and publications – basically anything that could possibly have to do with beer. They took three factors into consideration while analyzing the most influential beer brands:
- Alexa Rating (provides traffic data, global rankings, and other information that can be used to assess a website)
- Facebook Likes
- Twitter Followers
Though the big brewing companies are certainly represented, you might be surprised who else made the list.
Here’s how they stacked up:
1. Heineken
2. Beer Advocate
3. Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
4. New Belgium Brewing
5. Stone Brewing Company
6. Bud Light
7. Budweiser
8. Coors Light
9. Miller Lite
10. Untappd
11. Sierra Nevada Brewing Company
12. Rogue Ales
13. Samuel Adams

14. Tie BJ’s Brewhouse
14. Tie Dos Equis

The 2016 edition of this analysis will be released early next year.
