    I know some people post about what their favorite beer is or the worst beer they ever drank, but I just want to know what people consider their "guilty pleasure beer". This can be a beer that is rated bad but you drink anyway. It can be a beer that has gone mainstream and you hate people drinking it, but you secretly do. It can be a beer that you get at a dive bar and they have only 6 taps and all miller, coors, or AB stuff.

    I have been drinking beer for about 8 years now and my go to guilty pleasure is far and away Blue Moon. I don't know why but that beer for all the shit people give it, is my go to when nothing else is appealing to me. It is a smooth drink for me and I pick up a 12 pack a couple times a year just to sip on it when I don't want a hop bomb or crazy ABV beer.

    Just curious what everyone else sees as their guilty pleasure beer of choice.

    Medalla Light.
    At $8 the 12-pack is the best option for the beach when you're in PR.

    Negra Modelo. When it comes to pairing any sort of Mexican fare with easily accessible beer, this is my go to. I even used it as an answer on the Cicerone exam.

    Coors Light. My go to beer for cottage late nights when I want to wake up the next day or even later that day without a hangover.

    Bohemia when I'm at my local Mexican restaurant.
    Carling Black Label when I'm on the cheap.

    I stopped worrying about how others rate beer long, long ago...if I like it I drink it. I'm a geek, not a snob.

    That said, I'll add some celery salt to a Budweiser Chelada every now and then.

    Dos Equis lager, my intro into "craft" beer. Which basically means it was the first beer I ever had that wasn't one of the big boys. I also don't mind a land shark every now and then but those are even fewer and farther in between.

    Man, I haven't had a land shark in forever. Last time I did, I remember I was thinking how much I used to like it and how much my palate has changed since then!

    Natty Boh. It probably has much more to do with the memories of old friends than it does with the taste, but I do genuinely enjoy it when I'm having it.

    Tecate with Mexican Food and in the summertime, those damned Twisted Teas (not a beer, but worthy of a guilty pleasure mention)

    Previously, I could have said MGD, but now I only drink craft. There are too many great beers and so little time.

    Definitely a Corona Extra bottle with a slice of lime. Corona on it's own is not great but a slice of lime does it wonders.
    I like to think of it more as a "cocktail" although that's not technically correct.

    Speaking from personal experience, a six pack of Corona bottles, a lime, and a hot day on a Mexican beach is real hard to compete with :sunglasses:

    No guilty pleasures, I like Pabst sometimes, I like Tecate with Mexican food as well , I like BCBS As a nightcap. Every beer has its place even if it's as simple as a hot July day and a frosted mug on Miller Lite. Well every beer except Steel Reserve ...yuck.
