now ive only drank guinness once and it was awful ! i think ill try some other beers, onces that look fancy/different, but its the money that really pushes me to buy mainstream crap.

Calling Heineken catpiss, and calling for people to open their horizons, then proposing lagers such as Jupiler alken, that's bloody absurd.
im not a friend of lager.but its a location "thing" in disco or bar i often drink lager beers while in restaurants you cant say no to a weizen while eating schnitzel or something like this. 
Probably the one beer that has rocked my world totally is Old Rasputin:

It's a Russian Imperial Stout. Really heavy, heavy beer. Usually only good for one, maybe two if you're feeling like superman. But the number of flavors packed into this are amazing. It's proof that the American beer industry can keep up with our Euro counterparts.
Unfortunately I bought a case of this one time and totally burnt myself out on it.
For my general, go-to drinking beer, it's usually Yuengling's lager. It's not spectacular but it's cheap and about a million times better than Bud or Millers or anything.
For the macrobrew, mainstream beer though, I can tolerate Bud Light or Miller High Life (the Champagne of Beers ).

Atm im drinking stella because it was cheap at the shops
Still in the student, find the cheapest/least nasty beer phase so not really sampled much of the non general supermarket stuff.

3 (4? 5!?!) years later, I can now say that when I buy beer I buy heineken, I know its not the best but it goes well with pizza.
Putz & Hype, let me tell you a story...
When I first moved over to the East of France.
I saw rising above the roofs of Strasbourg, chimneys, hosting name's like : Kronenbourg, Heineken, Fischer and a few more besides.
If Munich is the Capital of beer, Strasbourg is a very good 2nd.
Cheers.
A Fischer for me

Thread deserves a bump. Too many great beers, and stories to go with them...
Right now, I'm enjoying a Dogfish Head Burton Baton (oak-aged IPA). Truely epic. If you find it somewhere, buy it...you wont regret it.
And at the moment I have 2 bottles left of my own Oktoberfest lager left, a batch of Brown Ale (my pathetic attempt at a Northern Brown Ale...think Newcastle) and a Maibock Lager (another 3+ months for this one!). If things all fall into place, they'll both be on tap...

aye good bump matie.
I just had a bottle not a week and a half ago of Innis & gunn 21 year single malt whiskey cask. sweeter and more fruity, and very buttery, but overall another great innis & gunn.
And from a local brewery called half pints the seasonal beer is 'burly wine' a 5$ bottle of barley wine, 10.5 %. Very enjoyable.
I need to go down to the states on a beer buying trip the Local LC does not have enough variety... ( some 50 ish different kinds ).
I also recently tried asahi a super dry beer from the phillipines, had an interesting flavour to it, better then the local mass produced shyte...

Well, if it's regular local beers, my favourite is one called "Polar", but my top favourite is one called "Eisenbaum" or something like this, that is kinda expensive and I can only find it in Irish pubs in my town, although it's made on a German colony nearby. The Uruguayan "Patricia" is also one of the best IMO
Very few European beers tasted I have.

'5.0 Original'. The best there is.
Taste's good and it's incredibly cheap, only 30ct per 0,5l can.
Furthermore, the black can looks stylish and the text on it makes me laugh everytime I read it.
My conclusion: ideal beer for hiking or heavy metal festivals
