I think I have had Ska Brewing's and thats it. I am not a huge fan of the style. I have had an Osha (root) Nut Brown Ale homebrew which was fantastic though.
Brown is not my favorite style either. I think I prefer IPA's and Double IPA's mostly, but oddly enough, I really like Blonde ales too. I think it mostly boils down to crisp and dry beers for me.
I wish they would deregulate further so I could buy homebrews with the ease of microbrews, that is a world I want to live in.
<clip>I am a huge beer aficionado and have tried 50 dollar a glass belgians and rotgut homemade swill.

But thanks for the condescending b.s. What are you, 20?
I'm never paying $50 for a beer. I've been making beer for 4-5 years. I've only had one batch turn out bad. Most of the homemade beer I've tasted, both from my own fermenters and from my friends' creations, have been overall better than purchased beers. I've seen several that were every bit as good as craft brewery output.
More like 40 and just as travelled as you. While Shiner is marginally better than the horse pee that passes for most American mass produced beers, in my experience most people who are satisfied eating low quality food or drinking sub par spirits are those who have never really tried or been exposed to anything of real quality.
I drink everything from Pacific Northwest IPAs and imperial IPAs, Baltic porters, Belgian Trappist ales, sour ales, red ales, many kinds of stouts, barley wines, and more... any yet not only do I not mind a Shiner every now and then, but I also quite enjoy the occasional Budweiser. For what it is I find it a very pleasant beer.

The only $50 beer I would ever drink is one that somebody else bought for me.
If you're on a budget for the weekend, 500ml 4-packs of Hollandia I can find in SoCal at Food-4-Less for $2.99. That's not quite a six-pack by volume, more like 5 1/3. But pretty cheap for a pretty good lager, much better and less expensive than the PBRs or Rolling Rocks or even Coors or Miller. Not sharp or watery. Could have a little more body, actually. But a decent price for an import, which also makes you look like you're not being totally skimpy with the pocketbook when you bring it over to someone's house.
I like light lagers and ales. I like pale ales, but I can't sit a drink a 6er of a PA or IPA...just too hoppy.
I'm not very fond of really dark, heavy beers. But if it was all I could get my hands on, I'd still drink it
