Czech here, I'm fine with that.

Paddy Irish man here: Guinness is loved here and would be my weapon of choice in the pub.

Whoever even thought that to begin with

I can attest that the one for norway certainly matches what you might be hinting at. Ringnes is by far the biggest brewer in norway. And while they do own some relatively OKish brands, the one pictured here is by far the blandest one that is not that far removed from water. It's only popular because it's cheap. And its cheap for a reason.

It wouldn't surprise me if a dane would chime in with a similar statement about Carlsberg, although that sentiment could be more suitable for Tuborg. I'll defer to Danish input on this.

I think it's more of who puts most money into marketing.

Yeah def the cheapest and most likely to drink watching a match. Out of all of these I'd probably go with Peroni (Italy) as the best tasting, maybe Stella Artois (Belgium), 1664 (France) as a runner up.

Guinness is probably the best standards, I just don't drink it often.

Probably most of them are pilsners that taste the same too.

Lower than Carling? I dunno

That's the part so many people miss with crap like this: they're not saying it's the best, or that it's the favorite, only that it has broad general appeal.

In the US, Miller Lite is nobody's favorite beer (outside of a handful of devotees, I'm sure), but it's a beer that any beer drinker can fall back on and locate just about anywhere. It's not excessively high ABV, not overly hoppy, not sweet, low calories, doesn't sit heavy, isn't strictly for warm or cool weather, and reasonably priced.

Demographically, it is drank by college kids, sports spectators/tailgaters, old guys down at the social club, golfers, rednecks, wannabe rednecks from the suburbs, bachelorette parties, rock show attendees, and pretty much anyone anywhere beer is being served.

For those reasons, it's likely one of the top 5 "most popular" beers in the US.

Everyone saying they're local regional favorite or specialty craft brew is better are just missing the point.

Gösser radler sales at least in germany must be huge. Probably counts towards beer. I like it too, gösser radler.

stiegl repräsentiert uns wenigstens besser ois gösser

That is definately addressed in the title, though.

The good Estrella, Estrella Galicia, or the shit Estrella, Estrella Dam?

I felt the same way but that may just be because I was in Barcelona.

I would have guessed tyskie, that sure must be the most popular polish beer in germany.

Try a lager, like Ratsherren Hamburg Lager. It's beer for people who do not like beer (source: I do not like beer but most lagers). If you like it sweet you could also try porters, like Lausitzer Porter but that stuff is sweet af.

Sweden is mostly cool, but the 3.5% grocery store beer is just sad.

I mean yeah thats pretty much the tldr of average american knowledge of europe
