5 Most Consumed Beer Brands in the World

3. Guinness

Insider Monkey Score: 150

First introduced in 1759 by Arthur Guinness, the iconic Irish stout is one the most consumed beer brands on the planet. Brewed in over 50 countries worldwide and available on almost every continent, Guinness is one of the most popular beers in the world. While many other beers are brewed using carbon dioxide, the brew masters at Guinness use nitrogen instead. The smaller bubbles create a smoother, subtler fizz, making it taste thick and creamy. In 1997, Guinness and Grand Metropolitan merged to form Diageo plc (NYSE:DEO).
