Someone has to explain this to me. If I went into a bar and order a beer, and the bartender filled half the glass with beer and topped it off with water, I'd scream bloody murder. Watering down beer would have gotten you shot in the Old West (maybe even the New West). How can the top three selling brands all be watered down beer. Does anybody on RP drink this swill?

Well ... from deep in the article comes the real story -

Meanwhile, the light beer category has seen volumes decline by 14 percent in the past half-decade, and as CNN Money points out, whereas the top ten brands used to make up two-thirds of all U.S. beer sales, now they only make up about half due to craft brands chipping away at the mainstream and a beer market that is slowing overall.

The only time I'll drink a light beer is if I need to rehydrate. Actually, a lot of people feel that light/lite beers are "healthy" options. Sort of like going to McDonald's and supersizing but having a Diet Coke.
I've really been into barrel aged stouts and double IPAs as of late. I live in the greater Chicagoland area, so the Goose Island Bourbon County, Revolution's Deth's Tar, and Belle's HopSlam have been my go to beers lately.
