Any takers? I'm partial to a nice pale ale. Love most American style ones like Sierra Nevada, Goose Island, Anchor Liberty ale. This is the nicest I've ever had:

I really like Killians Red.
Not sure, I just drink whatever my sister or one of my close friends recommend, because they are beer aficionados. I've noticed I like sours.

This stuff, on tap, is amazing. A smooth Irish pale ale, native to the Co. Kerry. I drank 5 in a row in Killarney and ended up leading an impromptu string of breakdancing at 3am with a bunch of strangers.

I only drink beer when I travel. Wishing now i kept a label or two from each country as souvenirs. best beer ever, long necks of Tsing Tao I think it was. Can't go wrong with an icy bevvy in china that back then only cost 20 cents. I kid you not. And Tusker beer in Kenya. not much more exy.

I've had Tsing Tao it's in the states. It's sort of a light bodied lager, though it cost more than 20 cents here! I swear quality craft beer is up to $12 US for a six pack....ouch!

A four-pack of Old Rasputin costs $10 at my local store, and just three of them will knock you flat on your ass.
Our craft beer is very expensive as well. Anything imported gets hit with huge tariffs.

If you ever visit Germany, please do yourself a great favor and try the Schneider Weisse Tap 6 or the Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier if you prefer lower volume of alcohol. You can thank me later. (Or not, because you will travel to Germany only to buy more.)
Oh, and I believe the latter of those two can be found at certain stores in the UK as well. To all Brits who just read this: Your life now changed for the better. Thank me later too.

It wasn't until one faithful St. Patrick's Day that I decide to by a Guinness as it was Irish. I could not believe my taste buds! I actually liked beer, who knew! It just took the right beer. Now I brew my own beer, and it's good! Real good:p

It's Perła Chmielowa (Hop Pearl). A polish product (go figure).
I have to admit that I'm NOT a patriot. I dislike more things about my country than I like.
However, one thing I simply can't take away from Poland is that we make some pretty damn good alcohol (mostly vodka and beer). In fact, from what I've heard you can get polish vodka in some places outside Poland itself but you should be ready to pay a hefty price for it.
As far as beer goes, I'm not ready to spend a lot of money on it. Typical, cheap, garden-variety beers are the way to go for me and so I've made sure I'm getting the most bang for my "buck".
Unfortunately, the polish government has been screwing the polish alcohol industry over consistently over the past several years. They've been increasing the excise to crazy levels.
The industry was left with two choices: keep their current prices but lower the quality so that it evens out or raise the prices and keep their quality. A lot of previously very good beers have gone to crap because of this. Perła has decided to go the second route and while it isn't exactly the cheapest decent beer you can buy, it's still definitely the best for the money as it has consistently kept its wonderful taste for years.
There are two varieties of Perła. Perła Chmielowa (which I prefer due to the hop taste) and Perła Export (which is the same beer but without the increased hop taste). There are probably more varieties but these are the ones you can easily get at most stores.
The reason why I like this beer more than other, even more expensive beers, is that it has a unique, smooth feel to it. You can feel that the people who made this beer actually made an effort with every sip.
Perła forever!

I've never been a beer man. I like the hard stuff, since usually I'm usually in a rush to catch a buzz when I drink. :p

That's like saying it's not a good time for ice cream. It tastes just as good no matter what the season is. Also: it's only cold outside. Indoors, it really doesn't make that much of a difference.

I like cheap drunks. Sparkling wine with a straw would get me off my face!
I dont really drink it with a straw but if I did, I would probably be fluent in several languages, a prima ballerina and a tremendous opera singer. If I don't mix, I can drink it like mineral water, though, and not get a hangover. Beer - not so much. One maybe two coldies on a really hot day and I'm buzzed but if I get drunk on beer it's a very different drunk, and I don't feel so good the next day.

Beer made by holy monks trying to get closer to god (or at least trying to break the horrible monotony in their lives by being buzzed constantly). Some of the best stuff on earth. Love most of the Trappist stuff but St. B I find especially transcendent.

Most of the time I had a pint of whatever the Pub/Inn had on tap.
Kronenbourg 1664 the most common in my local then one day they had a new stout in called Hurleys (a smoother less heavy Guiness rival) and after my first pint I drank that whenever possible.
When they stop serving it I threw a tantrum and told the landlord he was a D*ck and went elsewhere in protest. :D
I haven't been able to find it anywhere apart from in my old local so guessing it was a craft beer that didn't take off.
Nowadays because I suffer from Coeliacs Disease I have to avoid gluten which is found in wheat, rye and barley!
Thankfully distillation gets rid of gluten out of whiskey so I usually get a bottle of aged Scottish malt as a treat and Crabbies alcoholic ginger beer for times when I need a refreshing long drink.
