These beers have mostly all been ales though, and I was wondering if anyone had any good lagers that I could find easily out in San Francisco? Despite how much crap I'll get for this, I actually do enjoy Pabst and was curious what a "good" lager should taste like.
Edit: Besides Anchor Steam. I fully intend on trying that since I can't believe I never got around to buying some, but was interested in other more traditional lagers.
Pabst is reputably a decent lager, although I haven't tried it myself. You would probably enjoy the Munich Helles Lager style. I did a quick Google and maybe talking to the guys at City Beer Store would be worth it if you live close to there. I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.
Oh god no it isn't, try Wiehenstephaner's Original Lager. You can get a bomber of it for about $3.00.

You forgot Lagavulin 12 (or 16?). (second from top right corner)
I'm also very disappointed by the lack of Bowmore Tempest, more Ardbeg (Alligator, Supernova, 10), Port Charlotte and Octomore in there. (Seriously get the Tempest, thank me later)

It probably looks (hopefully not tastes as well) like some kind of mouthwash.

Ahhh... here it is. I knew it would be here. This is the 4th time I've gotten this. The fact that I've bought it a few times is a good thing- I usually won't get something even a second time if I think it's average... so many beers out there- you can always get something you really like. This stuff is REALLY smooth, rich, and buttery. It's like a Heiniken with a much fuller and smoother flavor... from an American palette...
And I just want to say, for all the super Hop style beers, the IPA's and the Hoptimus Primes and St.Hoppy Hop drinks... almost all micro brews are like that. They keep beer fresh, hence it being an IPA (shiped from India, the hops kept it preserved). I swear to god, every micro brew across the US has made its name with a retardedly strong Hop beer.
It's so epidemic, that when someone swears by their local brew, and how awesome it is... I guess that it's super hopy IPA style or Pale ale... and it's like "oh... have you had it?"... NO... just EVERY one is like that. Anything but the super hop drinks FFS. Any micro brew that can make a REAL lager... now that is a challenge. Don't find many of those. That is why I like European beers so much....
My poison of choice is beer. I have tried a fair number of different beers in my time and have grown tired of the standard and popular in the UK, like Budweiser, Tennents, Carling etc. I usually drink eastern Asian beers such as TsingTao, Asahi and Tiger. Very nice indeed.

They seem to be largely devoid of drink. I wonder where it all went.
Edit: Sorry, couldn't help bumping this, but I need some more recipes. :x
To be honest also one of the few Italian beers you can enjoy. Birra Moretti is crap, the Germans in South Tyrol produce some decent beer (especially the beers of the small breweries there are really good) too
I'm a 17 year old guy and my mom agreed to buy out a Dry Martini bottle and let me try it out (she had bought me strong beer before, some weeks ago, but I hated the taste of it).
So one night I drank half of the dry martini bottle and stole some of my moms15% wine and drank 5 glasses of it before swinging around and falling to the floor and puking and then puking in my bed and sleeping in it.
Next day she figured out what had happened etc and wasn't too upset, but she still found it stupid and shit.
It was fun as hell to be drunk on that and I love the feel + taste of dry martini with some ice, but my mom will never buy me alcohol again so...so what should I do to get alcohol again?
