Like Geoff, I have favored Molson Golden for many years, and feel nothing beats a cold Guinness. I also have drunk Blue Moon this year and enjoy it...even though it is served with an orange wedge.
The cheap beer when I was younger was Genessee, brewed in the Poconos. Of the commercial beers today I like Miller Light Draft, and I surprisingly like Miller Chill. I have long been a fan of Rolling Rock too, but Moosehead rates top on my list.
There is a local delicious microbrew called Troeg's, which comes in several varieties, including the "Mad Elf", which comes out around Christmas time. It's relatively expensive, but I keep a case on hand for parties or gifts. It's very good.

Out here in the Great American West, there are just tons of "microbrews" available, one better than the other. I think the only state that has more microbrews than Arizona is Colorado. (I put "microbrew" in quotes because most of them are made to order by big breweries.) My favorites right now are Pyramid Apricot Weitzen, Modolo Especial, and New Belgium Abbey. Stella Artois is good, but it's often over the hill by the time it gets out here. Blue Moon is nice, too. Two of the restaurants in town brew their own, and all of their offerings (especially their red ales) are excellent.

... or what is Mad Elf made with?? http://www.troegs.com/beers_elf.htmthe above link should give a good description of this red ale. Yogi, it has surely turned many into mad elves. Hey that looks great Klydon! Could you send me a bottle? I would love to try it! Just pour it into an envelope and post it... Most of it will get here.. ![grin \:D](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/laugh.gif)

Kly - you sure about Genny being brewed in the Poconos? I always figured New York State - Lake Genessee; one of the Finger Lakes? I tried Miller Chill - OK, but too much lime if you're drinking more than one. Moosehead is a long way from Miller Light Draft. Rolling Rock in bottles only. This weekend I had a couple of Anchor Steam drafts. The bartender said that it has 6.5% alcohol. I didn't really feel them that much. They were good though. Sat on the deck of Mike's restaurant in Riva, MD, on the South River (the other side of the river is Annapolis). Beautiful setting for enjoying any beer. In fact, I find the place where you drink the beer is almost as important as the choice of beer. ![star](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/1star.gif)

I just read that 100 years ago there were something like 30 independent breweries in Brooklyn alone, and that people would go to the butcher, the baker, the greengrocer and the brewer on their regular shopping trips.
Apparently the giant manufacturers pretty much took over after WWII, but now they are in a panic because of the rise of microbreweries in the U.S. and abroad, as well as the superior products that are imported. Supposedly thats why Coors-Molson is now looking to take over Miller. They have to be huge to remain competitive.
