Blazing new beer trails

I would recommend some german styles that inspired Budweiser so long ago. German pilsner, helles, even marzen are good styles to dip your toes in the water. I would steer clear of ipa and pale ales, despite what most people are going to say. They are agressively hopped, and are overpowering to say the least.
if you go under beer styles on this website you can pull up the top rated helles, pilsner, etc and see what beers rank well. Make a list and go shopping!

 

You can also look for low ABV local lagers.

 

Stick with pale lagers:

Southern Tier Where The Helles Summer
Anchor California Lager
Reissdorf Kolsch
Weihenstephaner Original
Pabst Blue Ribbon

 

There is nothing in craft that is similar to Bud Light. Try a beer that is as different as possible from a light lager. Imperial Stout would be a good style to try. Since you live in PA pick up a 4 pack of Victory Storm King to start.

 

I will also suggest Anchor steam

 

May I suggest a Vienna Lager style lager? A little fluffier on the feel with a tinge of hop flavoring. Devil's Backbone's Vienna Lager is the gold medal standard currently, out of Virginia, with an expanding distribution footprint, for one example. Good luck on your search - Cheers!

 

Sorry, I don't agree with this at all. There are lots of "craft" that would fit the bill. Which are well made and just good.

As already mentioned lagers from Weihenstephaner, Anchor Lager, or Brooklyn Lager, Victory Helles, Hacker-Bschorr Hell, even Hefes and and other wheats would be good. You don't have to immediately jump into imperial stouts, which is probably not going to be what the OP will enjoy if he has only really liked Bud Light.

 

Forgot about this beer. Good call!

 

Sierra Nevada Nooner is an excellent Pilsner as well.

 

Sam Adams Light isn't a step too far away from the InBev pasture. I think it has more flavor and tastes better.

 

Since you're in PA, I would suggest Tröegs Sunshine Pils. It is a very nice German Pilsner.

 

Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier, a bit more flavorful than you are used to, but an excellent beer you'll probably like.

 

@Billybeer21, since you are a Pennsylvanian the answer is ‘clear’: Sly Fox Helles Golden Lager!!

Cheers!

 

Pinkus Pilsner...It's organic, it taste great, it's refreshing as hell, it's organic, and the reviews say it's just an average beer. But it's far from average.

Drink what you like and don't listen to craft beer hype. Find what you like and learn to appreciate knowing the people who made it went the extra distance to create it.

 

Take a trip over to a local brewpub.

Cheers!

 

I would try Sam Adams Boston Lager and New Belgium Fat Tire. More flavorful and malty than light lagers but nothing too extreme. Those beers were my point of entry into the wide world of craft.

 

Yuengling lager and Porter
Victory lager
Sly fox lager
Guinness stout

I moved away from adjunct lager many many moons ago( I have moved back in the last few months) and Yuengling lager and Porter were some of the first to pull me away. Guiness might be good too. It's really not a huge thick crazy tasting beer. It's very low in calories and carbs and taste pretty good.

After these you can see what your taste says. Maybe try a bit more aggressive beer like Sierra Nevada pale ale.

Enjoy
