    If you add Genny, and Genny Bock when it is in season, I completely agree with you. I have a sentimental link to Genny, because I went to school in Rochester, and I used to drink gallons of High Life and PBR while bartending on Martha's Vineyard. Rolling Rock and Yuengling are just decent cheap beers along with the others mentioned.

    Budweiser. it was the beer my dad always drank when he drank. also im a roofer and something about a Budweiser when you come down the ladder on a brutally hot and dirty day is one of the most rewarding and refreshing beers ill ever have. also, KBS is hard to play beer pong with, as well as expensive. ive also tried it with two hearted and that is bad as well.

    Miller High Life, before I got into craft beer it was all I drank. Now I drink it and I wonder "How did I like this so much?" But, it's still kinda special to me.

    Gordon Biersch...except that I don't think it as bad as I think many people complain about. The Sommerbrau I had last night tasted rather Kölsch-like to me!

    Yuengling and Lionshead (Lionshead's rebus puzzle caps are fun too!)

    PBR--Because for being what it is, it actually has taste

    Landshark--Sometimes you just want to get drunk and drink a lot of beer. It goes down easy, especially on a hot day at the beach or in the river.

    Schaefer my go to beer decades ago when I was young. Preferred it over Budweiser, Reingold, Old Milwaukee all neighborhood staples. Have to try it again if I see it. Has to be at least more than 35-40 years since I had one.

    Lionshead, Pacifico, Modello, Tecate, Schlitz Gusto, PBR and (I'm ashamed to admit) Ice House...all are good beers (well...except the Ice House) and they are welcome alternatives at the right time and the right place especially a party depending on the crowd. There are a lot of people who don't like craft beers or just don't appreciate a good beer. No snobbery here...drink up and enjoy life's too short to get all hung up.

    Soft spot for Pacifico with a dash of salt and a small squeeze of lime. It's a Cabo staple.

    San Miguel, because I could buy a six-pack for $1 in Korea in 1987, and it didn't count against my monthly Class VI ration.

    Mickeys grenades = my high school and college in a nutshell. and at least there is some ABV there

    Not a crap beer at all, but not at all as good as what is out there is Mac and Jacks African Amber. that was my first "craft" beer, along with Fat Tire. But I hate Fat Tire now and still enjoy African Amber.

    As for swill beer (coors, MGD, bud, PBR, rolling rock, etc.) just cant do it. no point

    If I'm in a Mexican restaurant and they don't have any craft beers, I'll have a Negro Modelo, a Dos Equis Amber or a Bohemia. In all other circumstances, I will have craft beer only or soda.

    I skipped the "drinking shitty beer" stage and went straight from hating beer (macros were all I knew) to loving craft beer, so I don't have any fond memories that involve macros.

    Miller Lite! Oh beer of my youth. I also drank the BEAST, but the memories are not so fine.
    However, my favorite mass produced beer is Warsteiner, to which I was introduced while serving the US Army in Germany. Still love Warsteiner. Ein Bier Bitte!

    I do. HOWEVER, I find that to go well with nachos and other corn based dishes. But that's just me.

    Icehouse, had a fake id as a teen and used to get blasted out of my mind on a 12 pack when my parents went to sleep.
