Country music icon Toby Keith released the lighthearted and catchy tune “I Like Girls That Drink Beer” in 2012. The song became the lead single for his studio album, Hope on the Rocks, which arrived later that year.

“I Like Girls That Drink Beer” is a prime example of Keith’s signature style, which often blends country twang with a rock and roll edge. The song’s themes center around a man who finds companionship and enjoyment with a woman who shares his love for a simple life and a cold beer.

The easygoing tempo and relatable lyrics resonated with audiences, propelling the song to number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It also achieved a respectable number ten spot on the overall Billboard Hot 100 chart, showcasing its crossover appeal.

“I Like Girls That Drink Beer” wasn’t just a chart-topper; it achieved Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), signifying sales exceeding 500,000 copies within the United States. This sales milestone solidified the song as a commercial success for Keith.

Beyond the numbers, “I Like Girls That Drink Beer” became a popular anthem at bars and honky-tonks, further cementing its place within country music culture. The song continues to be a staple at Keith’s concerts, generating enthusiastic crowd singalongs whenever he performs it live.

While some critics viewed the song’s subject matter as simplistic, it undeniably struck a chord with fans who appreciated its lighthearted celebration of down-home living and enjoying a beverage with good company. “I Like Girls That Drink Beer” remains a cornerstone of Toby Keith’s discography and a notable entry within the vast landscape of country music.
