Beer. It's what's for dinner. Well, not really; however, I do love beer, light beer in particular. I used to be a Bud Light guy, then I went to Miller Lite, now Coors Light is my beer of choice. I do enjoy a nice hoppy IPA once once in awhile, but the sediment at the bottom gives a stomach ache, bro.
Perusing the internet for the endless lists of popular beers in Massachusetts, this is what I gathered as 20 wicked popular beers, (in no particular order), Massholes love to drink.
GUINNESS
"It's like drinking a meal". Actually, this Irish dry stout has fewer calories than you might think, only 125 per 12 ounces, and is only 4.2% ABV.

I don't really know anyone who enjoys the "Boston Lager"; however, the others including "Octoberfest" and "Sam Summer" are super popular.

MILLER LITE
"The Original Light Beer, It's Miller Time". Introduced in 1975, Miller Lite has 96 calories and is 4.2% ABV. In my opinion, Miller Lite is the least sweet tasting of the other light domestics.
