Whether you’re live at the stadium, at a sports bar, or at home, watching football is so much better when you’ve got beer on hand. Then again, so many other things are a lot better when there’s beer around.

Top 10 Best Beers for Watching Football

10. Michelob Ultra

Watching football is generally an unhealthy endeavor. It involves a lot of sitting while eating a lot of unhealthy food for hours on end. But for the more health-conscious football fans out there who don’t want to get a stereotypical beer belly, the low-carb, low-calorie Michelob Ultra should be the best choice of beer for getting a buzz while enjoying the game.

9. Pabst Blue Ribbon

PBR has gotten a bit of a bad rap in recent years as it was deemed the beer of choice by the dreaded hipsters. But if you gave it a chance, perhaps while watching a football game, you’d probably be pleasantly surprised by its light, smooth, and crisp taste.

8. Old Milwaukee

Not only because it still holds the unofficial title for Greatest Super Bowl Commercial Ever, but Old Mil fits the wallet and comes through with a decent taste. We didn’t see great taste. We said decent taste. For its minimal price tag, though, Old Mil goes perfectly with the game. We highly recommend trying it with a side of extremely cheesed up pulled pork nachos.

7. Natural Light

A popular choice among college students and people on a tight budget because of its relatively cheap price, Natty Light provides 4.2% alcohol and not a lot of calories (95 per 12 oz), which is a great combination for a long day of drinking—and maybe watching football.

6. Busch/Busch Light

Busch takes a bit of a backseat to Anheuser-Busch’s flagship brand—Budweiser—but it is nevertheless a popular beer in its own right. It’s sold at a lower price point than Bud, and Busch Light has lower calories, making it a great choice for a football-watching companion during gameday.

5. Firestone-Walker 805

Yes, we’re letting a little bias into the mix. We’ve traveled long and far and have found that if you’re on the West Coast, you’re in luck! The California brewed Firestone-Walker is a local favorite for many 49ers, Raiders, Rams and (starting this year) Chargers fans. It’s a crisp, easy-finishing brew that you can toss back with ease. Also, for a craft specialty beer, it also doesn’t hit the wallet too hard.

4. Coors Light

Sure, Coors doesn’t actually brew with pure Rocky Mountain spring water as its famous advertisements have claimed. But mountain water or not, no one can deny that it’s still got a nice crisp taste that can provide just the refreshing feeling you need over the course of a grueling marathon that is a football game.

3. Miller Lite

Similar to other light beers on the list, Miller Lite also has less than 100 calories (96) and a decent amount of alcohol (4.2%). But Miller Lite also owes a lot of its success in marketing. The use of its retro 70’s label in Anchorman 2 brought it back as one of the major players in the beer game, and why it definitely belongs whenever a game is on.

2. Miller High Life

Dubbed “The Champagne of Beers,” Miller High Life is an excellent choice for anyone that wants a beer that’s a bit different; you can tell right from the bottle. The bubbly, carbonated High Life is light-bodied, crisp, and refreshing. It’s also pretty cheap for something so good, and definitely belongs wherever people are looking to have a good time, which is pretty much anywhere football is on.

1. Budweiser/Bud Light

By far the most popular beer in the land, Budweiser/Bud Light is also a proud sponsor of the most popular game in the land. Whether you’re tailgating or at a bar, chances are there’s going to be some Bud around to join you while watching some football. And with its pleasantly light and refreshing taste, chances are you’ll consume a few pints’ worth before the final whistle.
