    Good timing asking this right after that not-at-all controversial Super Bowl ad, eh?

    Mine's definitely Labatt... I'm generally not a fan of the macro beers, but for some reason, a cold Labatt is a reasonably good, cheap beer that I haven't had issues with as far as skunking or randomly tasting metallic (hey, Heineken).

    I am not 100% sure what is the cutoff point for being a Macro but….

    Some AAL and AAAL (American Amber Adjunct Lager) beers that I enjoy drinking from time to time are: Genny Bock, Yuengling Oktoberfest, Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale, Shiner Bock, etc.

    Cheers!

    Miller High Life for nostalgia and for the fact that it's actually IMHO a pretty good beer!

    Cue hipster comments, but probably PBR. I think that's more of a sub-conscious thing though, as some of my more memorable nights out at some of the shittier bars in NYC have involved PBR.

    Jokes aside, some of the Blue Moon varieties aren't that bad TBH.

    Every time my father in law visits, he'll get one of those variety packs. Usually leave a few behind. I've tried them and your likely more right than most would admit, that they aren't altogether horrible. Don't think I would seek them because I know there's better, but they sure as hell could be a lot worse!

    Exactly! My father-in-law loves the original Blue Moon. Tried giving him Allagash White and Ommegang Witte, and he didn't like them.

    My go to favorite is Coors. Banquet or Light, both are good to me. It's one of those things though, where it just seems better out of a can. I don't know why, maybe it's just a Midwest hillbilly thing. lol

    Also enjoy Shock Top/Blue Moon when on tap, not out of a bottle or can though. Taste completely different to me when on tap vs. bottle/can.

    Also really enjoy Yuengling Traditional Lager on tap or out of a can. Never had bottle. I don't even know if this is considered Macro or Craft though, as it seems to change depending on who you talk to. Don't get this one often, as it isn't sold in the Midwest.

    I still do enjoy a good Budweiser/Bud Light/Bud Select from time to time as well.

    Finally, can't forget some good old Michelob Golden/Golden Light. Pretty good stuff that has started spreading around the Midwest now.

    Dos Equis. If that's not macro enough and I'm feeling a little nostalgic gimme a Busch Beer in a 16 oz. can and make it super cold.

    Favorite macro...oxymoron???? Havent had a good macro beer, ever really. I'd much rather brew my own IPAs for cheaper than a macro, than to drink a macro.

    To me, this is equal to asking : If one was to fall off a high cliff, would you prefer to die before, on, or after your fatal impact?

    I'll pass. Call me what you will, just keep your swill :slight_smile:

    I do utilize Yuengling to clean my John!
