    Miller Lite. "Favorite" may not be the right word, as I drink it more out of habit than because it's somehow really eclipsing every other macro in terms of flavor. "Go to macro" might describe it better.

    Does Corona count? Ice-crystal cold Corona with lime is still a thing for me from time to time, and I love it. That might be my favorite, if not my go-to.

    Oh, and for me, "macro" is the mega-brewery adjunct beers. I know others are including other things in their definition of "macro".

    Does Harpoon count as Macro. If yes definitely that. If not, does Sam Adams? octoberfest, rebel ipa... Depends on the line.

    Draft Heineken. It's not skunked and it's 100% malt.

    Assuming we're not trying to get too creative with definitions I'll go with Coors Extra Gold. Banquet and High Life are close behind. Any of the ones that have a distinct flavor (that isn't an off flavor) are fine by me.
    Recently PBR has started to taste oniony to me. Almost like they're using traces of summit in there.

    Its gotta be Busch Light sadly. My ma always had a stash in the garage when I was in high school that shortly became my stash every Friday night. Drinking that reminds me of drinking in a corn field while listening to Boston Greatest Hits on repeat.

    Moretti La Rossa. (Moretti is owned by Heineken, which I'm certain will count as a macro.)

    I realize in the 21st century everyone gets to make up their own definitions for such terms, but how can Yuengling be "Macro" when Boston Beer Co. is larger and is still "Craft", and a "Craft" brewery has to be "Small" (by the B.A.'s definition, at least)?

    Also: Macro ≠ Adjunct-brewed

    Michelob and Heineken (to name just two) are all-malt beers, that are clearly from Macro-sized brewing companies. OTOH, tiny 50k bbl/yr Straub might use corn but it is not "Macro" by anyone's most peoples' understanding of the term.

    :grinning:

    Anyway- my favorite Marcos? Imelda - I mean, c'mon, that was a lot of shoes!

    I'm pretty sure Yuengling is considered a craft brewery by the Brewers Association.
