Sparks!!!
im not sure how available it is anywhere else, but SPARKS is a very nice, inexpensive tasty beerk, plus, it somes in big 20oz cans so you get more beer per hand, which helps you if you are in a mad race to get druck. has a nice crisp flavor that goes down REALLY smooth and it has a subtle, yet noticable citrus flavor. MY favorite by far. But, if i cant find that, any good whole bodied brew is nice. i like pale ales and really dark beers the best.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of whiskey do you drink?

Gentlemen,
You don't know what you are missing. At the moment, I am merely feet away from the filler here at Samuel Adams. We are currently running Sam Adams Light (the best tasting light beer) and in an hour, we will be switching back to Samuel Adams Boston Lager.
I assure you that freshness matters! All beer is good (yes even Heineken) on day one. After that, quality of the beer and amount of Oxygen will make it a wee bit less good with each passing day. Most beers are unable to survive for more than a year. Also, any time above 70 degrees F will shorten the life of the beer.
As for a favorite, I am a big enough fan of Sam Adams that I have made a career with them. So please, for my job security, try a Sam Adams. It is the best American beer, and possibly the world.

sierraben,
with your selection "Mickey's Big Mouth, Old English 800 and Schlitz Malt Liquor" I see you've been thru the early 70's, dang your old!
A few suds of my liking:
China; Tsingtao and Ginseng Beer
Japan; Sapporo
Mexican; Pacifico Clara
German; Paulaner Heffe Weisse
Warsteiner Premium Pilsner
Konigs Pilsner
Augustiner Dunkel
A friend in Oz states "Fosters is ****, we export that crap"
As I type this the selection is down to what's in the fridge, supplies getting into the critically low zone a 6 pack of Anchor Steam Beer, i'll have another.

When I was a kid there was a "Hamms" beer commercial on a lot with a black and white bear in front of a very inviting lake. I've loved water ever since. I think because of that I lean toward Hamms, even though I very seldom drink beer. Warm Bud makes me want to puke

Hamms-"LAND OF SKY BLUE WATER".
That was the jingle back in the 50's and 60's.
My uncle used to live with us and he'd buy Hamms.
So I would sneak a sip or two.
Think I was about 7 or 8 at the time.

I got drunk when I was 6 on a tall can of Olympia beer. I saw it, popped the top, and my three sisters helped ourselves 
.
Yea, Land Of The Sky Blue Water! I got thirsty everytime I saw that commercial. Do you remember the Brylcreem commercial where the girl get's squeezed out the top? I loved that one. Mom loved teasing me about it too! "Steve, your girl friend is on."
The memories!

I used that stuff when I was in grade school. I used it one day and it rained on me.
Look like someone poured milk over my head.
Remember the little shorty cans of Oly? I think they were 6 oz. cans.

Don't remember the cans of Oly. I do remember putting tooth paste on my hair thinking it was Brylcreem 
. Hey, I was in a hurry. I looked like I had been drug thru a knot hole, backward 
. Unfortunately I was on my way to a public get-together and sat there as the butt of everybody's comments 
. I think I was about 8. Old enough to feel like a rat's hind end.
Oh, the fun we had!

I think the little cans of Olympia beer were made out of tin and you had to use a church key (can opener).
As a matter of fact, all of the beer cans were that way.
Then came aluminum. (What the heck is this stuff?)
