Sierra's really good. So's Harp, Guinness and Bass, as far a 'big' labels go.
But the best beer ever--EVER--is Magic Hat. They're a little Vermont micorbrew, but I think that they might've been selling drafts of it at some of the tents at last year's 'Roo.
If you can't get the Hat, try Otter Creek. A little less pricey, and nearly as good.
For you hop-heads, try Ithaca Brewing Co's double IPA. REALLY hoppy and at 10% a.b.v. your dog will be talking to you in French sooner than you might think.
Local micro-brewerys really are the way to go. I am fortunate that Louisville has three, with Bluegrass Brewing Company being my favorite. Their Alt beer is like buttah' !
Was there a 420 ale being sold by the big stage last year? That was one of my favorites for the weekend (and not just because of the name...).
Great Lakes brewing company is good. We have a local brew pub called Barrel house Brewery, there ale is the best imo. I also like Murphys, Blue Moon, Warstiener, and Linies.

If anyone from NJ has ever tried some brew from The Triumph Brewing Company in Princeton. Dear lord. So good. I'm too young/poor to be a connosieur but that is the best beer I've ever had by far.

yeah, Ithaca's apricot wheat is a little like Magic Hat's #9. Real close just not QUITE as good. I sometimes pick up a sixer of that when I can't get my hands on the Hat.

Ahhhh....Busch Light Cans. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for those.
In college, if you were too drunk/broke to drive down to the market for Labatt's or whatever you normally drank, you could walk across the street to SugarCreek. For a five dollar bill you could walk out with a 12-pack of Busch Light Cans, tax and deposit included.
It wasn't the best beer we ever had, but we sure drank our fair share of it, that's for sure.
Most of my faves have been mentioned except for Bell's out of Michigan. Bell's Oberon and their Two-Hearted Ale are two of the best beers in the world. Going down my list is Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout, Sam Smith's Taddy Porter, Anchor Steam, Newcastle, and Great Lakes Pale Ale. For crappy American pilsner, few can beat the old "33", thank you Latrobe. And oh yeah, Guiness really, really, really sucks. Unless it's an Irish Car Bomb.... mmmmm.... car bomb....

Picked up some for WSP New years. First time having it, and it was pretty good. Atleast at 3am when I had already finshed my Flying Dog and Sweetwater.
I gotta give props to Naty Light for getting me so many high school weekends.

My usual beer is Coors Light... cheap in the bars around here. For a treat I get a local brew, Mad Anthony's. Anybody ever heard of it? I like the blonde, but their auburn won silver out in CO a few years ago. They've also got a really good raspberry beer, and a seasonal apple ale (yummy). In college it was all about nattie light... I still get chills when I see it....
Going cheap it's gotta be Hamm's or Natty Ice Light (cheap and they go down way too quick). Sapporo, Heini, Red Stripe, Amstel Nut Brown, and Bell's Best Brown are some of my favorites. I'm not big on stouts or darker beers, but the brewpub in Port Huron, MI makes a sick Tugboat Stout that's fit for a meal.
