i rarely consume alcohol anymore. i dont really have a taste for it like i did in my 20's. but there are times where i get a hankerin for it. usually when im on vacation. having said that, im a total noob when it comes to microbrews having never had one that i can recall.
heres my list of beers that i actually like and when it strikes me, i grab em if i can.
bass ale
red stripe
fosters
amstel light
blue moon
someday ill catch up on the microbrew phenom.
the best beer i ever had was more about the experience and environment than the beer itself....black & tans at tobacco bay bermuda.....the guinness has a higher alcohol content overseas apparently lol....good times.
