Slideshow: The Billboard Football & Beer Battle

Football season is back, and with it comes BBQs, burgers, and beer.

Beer is by far the football fan’s adult beverage of choice. A 2016 Harris Poll found 75 percent of adult Americans prefer to drink beer while watching football.

The top two breweries in the US — Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors — compete for beer drinkers each year, and during football season advertising targets the loyal fan.
