Relative Prevalence Of The Word For Beer In The World’s Ten Most Spoken Languages

August 12, 2013 By Jay Brooks

world-map-3
Today’s infographic graphs out the “the relative prevalence of the word for beer in the world’s ten most spoken languages (by # of native speakers). However, because of the fact that there were no points at which the number of references in the world’s sixth most-spoken language, Bengali, were greater than references to each of the other nine languages, we have excluded Bengali in this particular case. So while we’re sad to see Bengali left off the map, the fact that a language with 181 million native speakers has so few references to “beer” is telling of either vast inequalities in the way Bengalis are represented within the geoweb, or perhaps just their general distaste for beer.” The map was created by Floating Sheep, one of my favorite websites.

“Zooming in to Europe only further accentuates the relative dominance of English among these languages, with significant portions of Portugal, Spain, and Germany even showing more references to beer than in their native languages. Interesting, however, that much of France is a mixture of English and German references, even in the much more southern portions of the country.”

Drinking And Gambling

August 11, 2013 By Jay Brooks

dice
Today’s infographic is a little bit suspect. It’s comparing the best and worst payout rates from various countries based on data from the online Castle Casino, who also is responsible for the infographic itself, Drinking Hampers Gameplay. That conclusion comes taking the payout rates and matching them with the average beer consumption per person figures for the same nations. Unfortunately, there’s absolutely no correlation between the two. There’s no data to support that the countries that drink more per capita were doing their drinking while they were gambling. So the “moral of the story” is utterly meaningless.

The World’s Top 10 Beer Brands

June 28, 2013 By Jay Brooks

top-10
Drinks Business, a European trade publication, on Tuesday published their list of the Top 10 Biggest Beer Brands, I believe as of the end of 2012.

  1. Snow Beer, 74.8 (China) [SAB Miller]
  2. Tsingtao, 57.9 (China) [Tsingtao]
  3. Budweiser, 40.4 (U.S.) [ABI]
  4. Yanjing Beer, 39.6 (China) [Beijing Yanjing Beer Group]
  5. Bud Light, 36.7 (U.S.) [ABI]
  6. Corona Extra, 31.6 (Mexico) [ABI]
  7. Skol, 29.9 (Brazil) [Carlsberg]
  8. Heineken, 29.1 (Netherlands) [Heineken International]
  9. Coors Light, 25.1 (U.S.) [Molson Coors]
  10. Brahma (Brazil), 18.1 [ABI]

The rankings are based on millions of barrels, which is listed after the name. The top beer, Chinese Snow Beer sells roughly 50% more than the second place beer, Tsingtao. So it’s not even close. The number ten beer, Brahma, sells only about a quarter of Snow.

Three of the top 10 brands are Chinese, not too surprising given that it recently became the largest consumer of beer worldwide. Anheuser-Busch InBev has four beers on the list, the most, by far, from a single company. It’s also interesting that Budweiser is selling more than Bud Light internationally. That says a lot about how effective the marketing of low-calorie diet beer is here in the U.S.

Snow Beer, the world’s best-selling brand.

June 17, 2013 By Jay Brooks

world-map-3
Today’s infographic is entitled U.S. Beer Imports in 2007 and was created by Matthew Bambach for, I believe, a newspaper article about beer imports. But I like how it neatly shows the flow of the beer from different places into America.
