natural light

Boddingtons

Taiwan Beer (That's the brand name)

Maybe some shit from your local breweries, there's probably some hidden gems

DogFishHead does a good pumpkin beer. Some great styles of beers are blondes, dubbel, pale, white, IPA and many other styles. One of my favorites is a flemish ale or red ale.

Good beer companies to buy from, DogFishHead, Magic Hat, Duvel, Asahi, Sapporo, Ichiban, Flying Fish, Walt Wit, Yuengling. Many local micro bewries are great as well and international beers are always great to try usually from Belgium, Germany, some other European Beers.

Some different types of styles for a different type of taste are like bananna bread beer, Banana beer which is gluten free, aged oak cast beer, Rasberry, honey or cherry wheat beers. Oh and if you are ever in philadelphia try Monk's Cafe own brew called Monk's Flemish sour ale, it's fantastic.

When I'm drinking cheap I just do the Yuengling light or premium, or just Miller lite.

Panda and Aristotle have good taste. I'd recommend Saranac Octoberfest if you can find it. I've never had a pumpkin beer I can finish... unless I was already hammered. And even then I didn't enjoy it.

Anything from New Belgium is usually a safe bet. Don't know if they have a pumpkin, but they do a lot of seasonal stuff so I wouldn't be surprised.

If you can find it in the states try Alexander Keith's

Spotted Cow is the best beer I've ever had.

Grolsch

i was going to recommend special brew as a joke, but decided against it out of a real concern for your safety

Not sure if you can find it in North America, but La Trappe Isid'ore is amazing.

Dark and German, that's all you need. (IMHO) :D

A good guideline for beer, is to look for local breweries.. It can be difficult, depending on where you live.. but local stuff, and different micro-brewery beers are ALWAYS tastier than the big label shit.. and more often than not, it's cheaper too.

i've had almost all of the local beers. a lot of them are good. i live near a store with a humongous selection, across the nation and international. just looking for cool suggestions, not beer advice.

turbodog.

Unibroue sells wonderful products.

I just had a Guinness over Cider drink last weekend and it was awesome. Its called a Black Velvet.

I saw this yesterday, thought it was relevant as well:

dogfish head punkin ale, southern tier imperial pumpking ale, weyerbaucher pumpkin ale 3 of the best right there

as far as really hoppy ipa's (which are my favorite by far) i recommend lagunitas ipa's, bear republic racer 5 is really good too

some other good companies are founders, six point, harpoon, duvel, delirium, flying dog, goose island, smutty nose, great divide, seirra nevada, yards etc

best way to come across new craft beers just go to a really good local pub and ask what they recommend depending on what you like whether it be ipa's, stouts, imperial stouts, ales, lagers etc

Stone Brewery

Laurelwood Free-Range Red Ale
Pliny the Elder IPA (very hard to find)
Hopasaurus Rex Imperial IPA
Alameda Black Bear XX Stout
Mack and Jack Amber Ale

Anything from Oregon

Terminator and Hammerhead are my favorite. They are hard to get, but if you know someone in that area maybe they can hook you up. At the very least, try them if you are ever in the Oregon/Washington area.

la fin du monde - unibroue

sam adams oktoberfest is great

If you go to McMenamin's get a rubinator (Ruby Ale and Terminator stout mixed). Goes with anything there
