A map of the world according to each country's favourite beer

England prefer Carling, Ireland like a Guinness and in America they are all about Bud Light.

That's the message from this map of the world according to each country's favourite beer produced by Vinepair.

Sadly, the map does not include Scotland but is still essential viewing for those curious about what to buy when ordering a round of drinks abroad.

As the Economist points out, one of the most interesting aspects of the map is that there is little overlap between countries despite many of the beers on the map being produced by multinational companies. A note on sourcing: Vinepair say the data is from Euromonitor and consumer records.
