    Pacifico - I spent a chunk of one semester in a hammock in Mazatlan grading 1500 freshman term papers a very long time ago and my blood flowed with Pacifico.

    Carling Black Label. I drank one last night at the Elks Lodge that "Expired" in May of 2010. Still good ol' Carling Black Label!

    Could not help but think of this "one pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small, and the one that mother gives you does nothing at all"

    I'm down with Yuengling lager. Not incredibly often mind you- but it's a simple, cheap beer that annihilates the big AALs.

    Boulevard Wheat. In KC for all intensive purposes it might as well be our local Macro.

    Here in Alberta Canada it's Big Rock Traditional Ale. It's nothing special but it's unique from the macro crap and was one of the first in Canada to break from the sugary fizzy yellow fizzy pop beer.

    Definitely Corona for me! During my honeymoon over 5 years ago there was no craft beer at my all inclusive resort in Mexico. Instead of getting completely trashed from choosing the liquor drinks all day, my daytime drink was an "iceberg": a tall glass with Corona topped by a scoop of frozen margarita. Very satisfying during those tropical summer days at the pool bar.

    BTW, I was fooled by the title at first and was thinking of a beer for lovin' (the "other" blue pill). In that case, it would be whatever bourbon barrel stout I can share with my wife. :-)

    Probably Rogue Dead Guy or some other overpriced, semi-mass produced, non-local

    brew that is pretty damn good tasting. I hung with Rogue and Oskar Blues in college and I was an idiot then, so I'm sticking with that.

    Mickeys. I will always have a soft spot for a wide mouth. That sounds kinda dirty now that I read it back. Oh well.

    I hear ya, sometimes you want BEER that tastes like BEER.

    For me it's Milwaukee's Best Light.

    It's cheap, non offensive in any way and just plain tastes like beer.

    Coors Banquet, Yuengling and 'Gansset do me just fine when I want to pay ~$0.75 or less per can.

    Although I believe that the Pils situation these days is pretty fantastic, Dinkel-Acker and Bitburger have kept me grounded for decades.

    I don't have one, I have a few. Rolling Rock Ponys, Schlitz, PBR, more often than not a cold Miller Lite. I actually drink more Miller Lite than any craft combined. I've had hop burnout before and it's awful, so it's preventive medicine.

    You actually remember what you drank at a Grateful Dead show? Pretty impressive!

    Is Stroh's still around? I have not seen it in what seems like decades. It would be neat to try it again to see why I drank it years ago.
