    I'm sticking to Grain Belt, Nordeast or otherwise.

    As others have stated, I have to throw in for Coors Light as well. We have a long history together, and though I have since seen the light (pun intended) and found craft beer. I still have to say that an ICE cold coors light on a really hot summer day after doing work around the house, can be SO refreshing. Plus its great for beer pong.

    Magic Hat #9. A dozen years ago, this was one of my favorites. I loved the not-so-overwhelming dry apricot flavor (as I remember it).

    Agree with others on Guinness, Blue Moon, and Yuengling.

    Was this in cans? I have yet to see it in cans, but would love to.

    I third or fourth the pro-HopBack commentary. It's not as interesting or complex as a good IPA, but damned if those aren't tasty hops, and I can usually count on it as a go-to around Pennsylvania, even at places with subpar craft beer selection.

    Sometimes after stomping through the woods all day looking for deer there is only one thing I'm looking for...

    An ice cold orange yum yum

    St. Pauli Girl. But I think I get it more for the label. :wink:

    Yes - as far as I know, Golden Road is only in cans and on draft...

    Wachusett Summer or Wachusett Blueberry - light but reasonably flavored, Hell Or High Watermelon again light but with a underlying flavor that doesnt overwhelm, Blue Moon, hate the fact its coors but sorry I like the taste and it is such a good entry to wheat beers, its everywhere and reasonable and refreshing. hoegaarden & Leffe blonde not out there with flavors but solid and drinkable. Any time I have those in my fridge I have a beer I can grab for drink and not worry I have to over ananlyse- there's a place for a reasonable beer that gives a slight buzz.
    I can understand people not liking the style or the parent but I can't really understand how anyone gives these horrible reviews.

    I had a Pacifico last night with some tacos and elote and damn if it wasn't delicious. Keeps the mouth refreshed while eating spicy food, and a great session adjunct lager on a summer day.

    I was just asking because I only had it on draft. I have been hoping to find cans somewhere locally, but it seems like its mostly out closer to LA.

    I have to agree with with Yuengling, Fat Tire and Genny Cream ale. I will also add Leinekugels Honey weiss to the mix.

    Strong bump:

    Heineken - For some reason, it's my favorite beer to have during golf. Very refreshing to me, and I truly enjoy the taste, even if it can be skunky.

    St. Pauli Girl - Clean, crisp and full of flavor. A beer that I can enjoy sipping, or having several or many during a sporting event or party. Very reasonable price for an export as well.

    Hell or High Watermelon. It's not a terribly good brew (and I dislike fruit beer and wheat beer) but I think it's makes for a decent sessionable summer drink.

    Was drinking MGD last night, and I realized it actually tasted really good. Sure, it had a one dimensional flavor and almost no aroma (since I had it ice cold), but it was a simple, inoffensive, actually pleasant tasting beer.

    Which also made me realize, why don't brewers do adjuncts beers in a more "craft" context, like this Kentucky Common that I had once from Summit. I mean, corn and rice doesn't have to make a bad beer, and it doesn't mean you can't add more hops to it or whatever, either.

    I will drink Modelo Especial all day long...if I'm at the beach and didn't bring brews with me from Raleigh (which I would never do). If they've only got corona and light beers, I'll take a natty
