I'm not too picky about beer but I do enjoy good craft beers, IPA's, scotch ale's for example, so that's what I usually drink.
However, does anyone else mix in a Budweiser/Busch/Keystone or some other watered down beer just for old times sake?
If I'm at my rural hometown festival, hanging out at the beer garden, chatting with old friends from high school, the kegs getting tapped are likely to be Miller Lite, Bud Lite, MGD, Coors, and maybe some non-beer like a Mike's Hard Lemonade for the nonbeer crowd. I'll drink any of that...it's a hot summer night in a beer garden, and if it's cold and wet, I'm gonna go with it.
Millennial here that is craft beered out. Sure I'll have a good porter or stout a few times a year, otherwise just give me a good lager.
And some of the types of beer you see in a bar these days are a bit ridiculous (chocolate stout, grapefruit IPA, blueberry this or that). Any brewer that makes stuff like that loses all credibility with me.
On another note, what's up with the civil war look that 9 out of 10 bartenders have these days?

Other contexts, eh...
I think there is a much more geographic aspect to beer preference than age. Here none of those beers you mentioned would sell well. The beer selection at the supermarket is an entire length of an isle, there are so many different craft beers. There is a full range of flavors, IBU and ABV. At the more popular restaurants with Millennials the beer lists looks like this (from restaurants called The Ram, The Rock, and BJ's in the Seattle area):
Big Horn Hefeweizen
Buttface Amber Ale (my favorite)
Big Red's India Pale Ale
Total Disorder American Porter
Hometown Blonde Ale
Suicide Blonde
Rock Steady Red
Jump'n Jack Black
Wild Thing
Sledge Hammer IPA
A Tripel IPA
Zany Zitrus Hazy IPA
Casa de Cerveza Mexican-style Pilsner
Lightswitch Lager
Brewhouse Blonde
Harvest Hefeweizen
Piranha Pale Ale
Hopstorm IPA
Committed Double IPA
Oasis Amber
Jeremiah Red
PM Porter
Remember when you use to go to a bar and the only thing they had on tap was like - Heineken, Bud, Coors Light, Guinness.....lol And what happened to those other beers? Amstel Light, Becks.........What else?

Geez how things have changed.
The only thing I really miss out of the mass market beers is Michelob original. That’s somewhere between mass market and a better lager. It is still available, but it’s really hard to find.

LOL all of those beers taste like watered down crap now. Except for Guinness, but there's so many other choices before I would drink it.

I drink Guinness occasionally on days where I wasn't intending to drink...at 4.2%, it's just a bit over half the strength of my go-to IPAs (I find 7-7.5% to be my sweet spot)
My husband drank Guinness in Ireland and he said it was so smooth and creamy.
