I like lagers and I like them really cold. German beers generally have good snap, and I like a touch of the skunk in them. St Pauli and Beck's lagers are great on a warm day. Carlsberg also is a good crisp lager with a clean finish. Most American Micros are a bit sweet for my taste although two Colorado brews are as good as any: Fat Tire and Breckenridge's Avalanche (though inconsistant batch-to-batch). The best Mexican light lager is Dos Equis light, and I have no clue as to the popularity of Corona- seems wholly dependant on the quality of the lime. Some Mexican amber beers are very good. Both Bohemia and Negro Modelo hold their own with any German dark beers. I think English Bitter Ale is terrific. I enjoy Boddington's, Flower's, Adnam's Broadside, and Newkie Brown.

Having said all that, I will confess that the best beer I've had in ages was a frigid Budweiser draw served in a frosted mug in a dusty hot bar in Clayton, New Mexico by a beautiful Spanish girl.
