So I don't drink and never have but I'm having company over this weekend for business and I know that the people enjoy having a beer with a casual, weekend business meeting so does anyone have any suggestions on what type of beer I should pick up for them? I don't really care what the cost is, I just want them to be happy that I even cared to get them it since I don't drink.
This one is really hard to pinpoint actually simply because there are so many beers and such a different preferance for each individual. I am prone to a Pale Ale or something imported like Beck's, Heineken with a lime wedge but I will also pick up Michelob Amberbock or get a Miller Lite on tap (very rarely with this one). I'm not much of a drinker either so the mood and occassion have to be perfect for me to even pick up anything with alcohol in it. Then there are others who like O'Douls which is non alcoholic beer, just really hard to say which way to go.

Where you are makes a big difference. Here it would have to be a microbrew, Blue Moon, Fat Tire, Pyramid, Red Hook, Widmer or some imported beers. In a more blue-collar area people still like the stuff we drank as kids that tastes like water, Coors, Budweiser. Make the wrong choice and you will be in for a lot of grief. Maybe have an assortment, or better yet ask a few people what their favorites are and at least a few will be happy.
I agree with giving them choices. And where you are makes a difference, as Hemlock140 mentioned. If you are in an area where craft beers are big, for instance, then CSD610's list would not be the best. But he did say he was a non-drinker.
My recommendation is to head to your best liquor store or beer retailer, wherever they sell the good stuff, and ask the beer guy (there's always a "beer guy") for his recommendation.
Just pick up a few of each of these....then get the good stuff Keystone Light!
There was a little dive bar on Venice Beach, where I loved to go watch the sunset, and they served Warsteiner on draft, in the correct glass, complete with the small paper drip-catcher around the stem, just as they do in Munich. Impressive. And it was an awesome beer to watch sunsets with.
Proudly displayed was a Warsteiner banner with the following slogan. I memorized it, and I took it to heart, and it has never let me down:

"Life is too short to drink cheap beer!"
"There's no accounting for taste!" Not one who tinkers with what is "good enough." I don't need to try all the silly named ones.
In case of dark beer l ad the Trapisti Cistercensi monk's dark beer, it's the best in this cruel world, and at the same time you can praise the Lord.
The monks activity started in the xvì century when they were forced to choice what drink between water-milk-or beer, then they did answer ....water cause rusty inside the body....milk is good right to childs.......so nowaday we can relish the best dark beer.
Not sure you can find out it in America, it's comes from Belgium and Holland..almost around that area, since I heard that a guy has found a dead mouse in a can, I always take bottled beer, I do not want run any futile risk.
There's a big hit and miss probability OP unless you have requests for a particular beer. Get some popular brand names and then
grab some of the so-called finer brews. Ask around as stated by others.
