Corona is disgusting and probably the worst beer I've ever had.

Best: Sam Adams, Ziegenbock, a lot from the brewer (?) that brews Fat Tire.

Does Lambic count?

If it does, Lambic... coz it doesnt taste like beer.

Otherwise, I'd rather have a Cider (like Woodpecker).

I like very crisp bitter pilsners.


Veltins
Lowenbrau
Grolsch

all fit into that category.
When I'm drinking at a party, I go for

Canadian.

When I'm out having dinner, I really like honey cream ales and honey lagers, just for something with an interesting taste.

Then again, I make my own, as I work at a U-Brew. Got a keg of honey cream ale coming up pretty quick here.

I don't know why, but I just don't like beer. I've heard it's an acquired taste, but after years of drinking, I still don't like it. I feel left out. :(

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet:

Paulaner Hefe Weizen

It is GREAT when served with a slight bit of lemon. It has a VERY smooth flavor, not light but not stout either. Crisp and refeshing, this unfiltered wheat beer will definitely surprise you. A 6-pack will cost you generally around $9, but if you just want to try it, they sell pints at most 'larger' liquor stores for around $2.69. Definitely worth trying.

Other beers which rank highly, but not as high:

Moosehead
Red Stripe
Grolsch

Best inexpensive beer: (also one of the only beers I enjoy from the states)

Rolling Rock

I really don't like beer very much...only found a few I can drink without wanting to throw up: Mostly the blackest, vilest concoctions are the ones I can stomach - Rogue Shakespearean Stout, sometimes Guiness Stout. Mostly I stick to wines or hard alcohol. mmmmm, aged cognac warmed over flame.....*drool*
