No matter where they watch (broadcast or cable) or what (regular
season games or the anti-climactic Pro Bowl following the Super
Bowl), beer drinkers love their football. Major League
Baseball and the National Basketball Association also
tap into fairly large beer-drinking audiences. (The National
Hockey League is a major draw for beer drinkers but it's moot,
what with the entire NHL season doomed.)
So as to find beer drinkers in places aside from the sports
arena, we also include the top markets for people who enjoy their
suds along with the top newspaper.
