It’s ...
..and what better way to celebrate beverages than with America’s favorite alcohol beverage?

Beer leads as America's alcohol beverage of choice. More than 66% of alcohol-consuming adults have reached for a cold beer in the past 3 months... and it's no wonder: beer is the drink we choose when people come together.

It’s what we enjoy at ballgames, backyard barbecues and countless moments shared with friends and family. With a wide range of tastes and styles, plenty of non-alcohol options and 80% of beers below 5% ABV, there's a beer for every occasion.

Cheers to the 2.42 million workers supported by the beer industry—and cheers to a cold glass of delicious beer!

Today, I met with Kentucky members of the National Beer Wholesalers Association.
