Why have have I posted this?
Firstly, people like lists, brands and beer.
Secondly, it’s great proof of the power of marketing. The top two wont top any taste test, but they’re backed up by some fantastic marketing campaigns, which are backed up by some serious marketing budgets!
Thirdly, why not?
A few surprises in there though, Carlsberg spend a serious amount but only reach number 7, while London Pride managed to beat the US giant Budweiser.
