Coors Light - or as a friend of mine calls it - Girls Light.
Kind of a big difference as to what I used to drink - Labatt 50.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labatt_Brewing_Company#Brands
1st brand. Always guaranteed to be the coldest beer in the fridge.
A few friends of mine gave me hell for drinking Coors Light - saying I should support the local brewery, which is Labatts.
So, to appease them, I switched to Bud Light - for a couple of cases, anyway.
I also drink Shindig, which is a craft brew put out by Cowbell Brewery. They are based out of Blyth, ON. A couple of years ago, we had a work outing there, and got a tour of the brewery. Very cool!
One other craft beer that I tried - Locker Room Lager - it was pretty much like drinking carbonated water. No taste in it AT ALL.

Haven't had a beer in about 2 months since the pubs are all shut. I buy wine for drinking in the house. I'm a wino as well, although you can buy beer in stores but you need the ambience of a pub to enjoy a pint...and a wee dram. I'm a big fan of Doombar beer Loved it, but found to many watery pints in the last year or so, sure it's been weakened down. This is true also in great pubs. Same happened to Old Speckled Hen when they lowered the strength.

That looks like a really good summer beer.

Not much of a drinker at all, so I drink a lot of the beer that's considered crappy. Bud Light, Miller Lite, etc. Also like Modelo.

Here in the Bay Area I've only been buying fresh beer from Revision (out of Reno), Bare Bottle (out of SF) and Almanac (out of Alameda) for the most part, because those three have been keeping 2 week old beer at the stores I go to, and then a few others here and there. sounds fun. never had 'em! what's the best out of the 3? Barebottle is our favorite. They keep coming up with so much stuff, it's fresh and delicious. I'm a big IPA guy and big hazy guy. They're also the most expensive but in my opinion if it's good, it's worth it. Fieldwork you can't get in stores, i highly recommend going by if you're in Berkeley. They've got tons of unique stuff.

A special version of Belgian Moon (which I think is what Blue Moon calls itself here in Canada - there must be a trademark issue probably) with mango flavour showed up in grocery stores here. I couldn't resist it so I bought a four-pack, and tried it yesterday for the first time. I really liked it; it was perfect for the hot weather we are having.

In San Diego, it really feels like outside of a BevMo, your choices for "normal" craft is pretty limited. The endcaps of Vons, which used to be craft bombers, is now filled with seltzers!

You can't go wrong with Ballast. Oddly I have this one lady on my coed team who does a beer blog and she refuses to touch a Ballast because they "sold out." I think it's idiotic. Who cares who owns them or if they're all over now, as long as it tastes good. The Grapefruit Sculpin is still one of my favorites.

Otherwise, I've been trying a bunch of smaller North County brews. I'll start adding them the next time I do some new ones.
