Actually, I prefer Plzen...Either way, Czech beer is mostly lager

Ginger Ale... dang it only a couple more months.

My top 5 (not in any particular order)
Stella (Belgium), see Heineken Guinness (Ireland), creamy, dark, goes well with a lot of food Heineken (Netherlands), classic import, just delicious Koeningshoven (Netherlands), rich, darkish, 10%? badass! Rickard's Red (Canada), just a great premium beer that has been in many good memories

I'm from the SF bay area and I love our local beers.
You cannot go wrong with anything from Anchor. I love their porter so much, it's just so thick and dark and leaves a great after taste. The Anchor Steam and Ale are great as well.
Lagunitas, based in Petaluma (north bay), Brown Shugga' is a great sipping beer. It's a 10% without the alcohol taste to it. http://www.lagunitas.com/beers/brownshugga.html
And from the East Bay there's Buffalo Bill's. Their whole selection is just awesome, the other night I was drinking their pumpkin ale and it pretty much tastes like pumpkin pie.

London Pride and a cryptic one called The Dark Island that I only saw in a pub in Edinburgh Also Hoegaarden though it's not an ale I think.

Heineken and IPA all the way. Some people hate on Heineken because it has become quite popular and its a bit lighter, but I loooooveee it.

Anyone else doing their own beer? In Quebec, 24 beers cost 22-ish canadian dollars. For the same cost, you can brew yourself 40-50 beers. Plus you can even put some flavors in it like coffee...

Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA Dogfish Head Cove Pale Ale
I can't get enough of this brewery. By far my favorite 'brand' of beer, and they have a lot of interesting varieties to try.

Yep, I love brewing - especially if it's experimental flavors. Among the unusual beers I've brewed:
Belgian style Mango ale w/Indian Spices Cinnamon Spiced Brown Ale Hibiscus Ale Cherry Vanilla Porter Watermelon Ale Maple Syrup Porter Juniper Berry Ale Gluten-free Ale made with sorghum "Chef's Special" Ale (where I combined all the leftover ingredients - that one was interesting)

London's Pride Pedigree and I hate to agree with Madonna.. but Landlord also
I could live on Ale alone.

Bud light 
Just kidding. I have a feeling I'd be warned if I was really serious. For the beers commonly bought at a grocery store, I like:
Newcastle Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat - probably even more girlier tasting than Blue Moon Blue Moon Sam Adams Boston Lager Killians - because it's surprisingly good for how cheap it is Coors Light - if broke and trying to get drunk it tastes the best IMO out of all the $6/6pk beers

I love IPA, and Sierra Nevada is definitely one of my favorites. I like the normal, celebration, and summerfest!
|
For cheap beer I personally like James Ready Their Ale(which I just recently discovered, was drinking original b4) is amazing for a cheaper brand. Other then that Sleemans makes a great variety of good beers,Keith red/white and IPA are all amazing. German beers like LowenBrau Holstein and DAAB are to die for if you feel like paying a bit more
Oh and Japanese beer Sapporo's is also amazing!
