I feel like country was invented to inspire patriotism and family values while reminding people of how great riding, hunting, and living free is. I was recently corrected by a friend who told me that it’s also about good times with good beer in good company. 

Even if you’re a wine connoisseur or a hard-liquor person, I bet you’ll get a craving for some lager after you’ve sampled my list.

So without further ado, here is my list of the best country songs about beer to have a drink to!

1. I Like Beer by Tom T. Hall

There are dozens of reasons why I’m opening up 10 Best Country Songs About Beer with Tom T. Hall’s “I Like Beer,” so let me summarize. First of all, I really like beer, and so does one of my favorite artists, so I feel a deeper bond from the get-go. 

Secondly, I like people who are so enthusiastic about beer that they’ll sing about it in public. I must admit, I usually don’t have the same audience or the same vocal prowess as Tom. Thirdly, “I Like Beer” is an absolute classic that lights up my day whenever it comes across on the radio, and I wanted to share it with all beer lovers and enthusiasts.

This is one of the most profound, most meaningful beer-inspired country tunes I’ve heard in my life, and I warmly recommend giving it a go if you haven’t already.

4. Drinking Beer by Ray Scott

Ray Scott goes straight and sharp with “Drinking Beer.” Drinking beer down on the lake in a big ol’ boat, kickin’ up a wakeis one of my favorite pastime activities, minus the big ol’ boat. Ray tells a story that “Drinking Beer” is more of a mindset than a habit. 

The song sounds great, Ray sings like a boss, and if you’re listening, you’re probably drinking great beer yourself. This is a perfect song to unwind or warm up with while preparing some delicious barbecue.
