    PBR for two reasons:
    I like it better than the budmillercoors alternatives.
    20 bucks for a 30 pack.

    I enjoy a miller high life, a corona with lime, sapporo, urquell, or any average adjunct mexican lager just fine.

    Most AALs, British imports, pilseners and European/American pale lagers.

    These come to mind first FWIW: Old Milwaukee, Coors, Hamm's, Miller High Life, Miller Lite, Lone Star, Lone Star Light, anything from Samuel Smith or Fuller's and beers like Heineken or Anchor's California Lager.

    Macro lagers are the easy answer. I like most of the non-light ones. Banquet and Extra Gold being my faves.

    In terms of beers that are considered "craft" - I'm all about classic flagships that people typically abandon. Fat Tire, Shiner Bock, Dundee Honey Brown, Brooklyn Lager, SNPA, Anchor Steam, Bridgeport IPA, Black Butte Porter, Abita Purple Haze, and the list goes on. I like most of those available almost everywhere flagships.

    I'd throw a few 'in-between' those categories too, such as the Euro-macros. I tend to enjoy DAB and Radeburger Pils mostly- they're easy to get and at the right price.

    Yeah, the last one I had ended up being a drain pour. Funny thing is that I really liked it in the 70s.

    I scored Shiner Holiday Cheer low back in 2009. I'm revisiting it today and I quite enjoy it as a fruit beer, not so much as a Dunkelweizen.

    I'm with you on those. I absolutely love Stiegl Gold in particular, but I'm game for just about any random Euro lager. That can range from Stella to Moretti (a fave) to Bit.

    Our Old Chicago has Peroni on draught and I find myself, curiously, ordering more than just 1 pint. Beats the bottles...

    I've had a few Narragansetts...can they brew anything bad?
    Edit: or whomever is contract brewing for them, if that's the case.

    If you're a real boss though you get it in the 36 oz plastic wide mouth bottle

    I've never said no to a PBR or High Life. Obviously not amazing, but they go down easily and taste inoffensive. I'd put Genesee Cream Ale in that category as well, and it's dirt cheap too.

    Ice Cold Coors Light. I can drink a case of them while doing house chores and still be sober enough for an unexpected ninja attack or break dance battle.

    We must have very similar taste buds, because those are all non-hyped/lower rated beers that hit my taste buds just right as well. Althought can't vouch for Lone Star, been a long time since I've tasted one.

    Yeah, I'm a fan of Euro Lagers. Most are so tasty in a light beer way.

    They, Lone Star, have the rebus puzzles in their caps. You need concentration to figure them out. :wink:

    Got to pop it, then lock it!

    Even at 47 and inflexible, I can still nail a backspin on my kitchen hardwood floor with at least 4+ rotations. Its great after a few beers to embarrass my college kids when their friends are over.

    Glad someone mentioned Shiner. Apart from the easy AAL calls (I'd drink Pacifico over 95% of craft beer), I have a real soft spot for most of Shiner's offerings. Someone else mentioned it, too, but 'tis the season for Shiner Holiday Cheer.

    I like stiegl gold but only in draft - I always get a weird metallic taste from the cans.
