Everybody's been in a fight over which brand of beer is the best — if you haven't, then you're some kind of Zen monk or just one of the many people who prefer hard liquor. But you can't fight big data, and the numbers tell us that these are the top 25 best-selling beer brands from 2018. If your favorite beer didn't make the list (which was compiled by 24/7 Wall St. and comes via VinePair), that doesn't necessarily mean your beer sucks; it just probably means that it's a craft beer and you have a curled mustache and a ton of tattoos that you'll regret in about 20 years.
