    My ultimate go to choice:
    Dos XX Lager green bottle
    A few local breweries have a OcktoberFest fear that is good
    -Shiner has a few decent beers. Their more known Shiner Bock is decent. But their new seasonal, Spring Ale Dortmunder has a great refreshing taste that puts their popular item to shame. Locate that one asap.
    -Stella isn't bad.. Shocktop has that orange taste to it. I can drink that for days. It doesnt seem fair. Fat Tire has a nice taste

    There's really only three types of beers I would be hesitant to try again"
    Anything IPA..
    Darker stout beers just haven't suited me yet.
    Corona Extra is maybe the only beer I can single out as absolutely HATING the taste of.

    Everything else is pretty much worth a try.
    TsingTao, Bass Ale, Fat Tire. all good.

    I don't buy the "im a cheap college student" excuse. a lot of decent beer is just a little bit more, and it contains more alcohol per volume. So you drink less, drink a little bit better tasting beer, and in the end, maybe spend an $3 extra bucks? What cheap prices are we talking here for a 24 or 30 pack? I see people everyday buying a 12pack of budlight for $10.50. For $12, there are a variety of choices that have a bit more ABV, and it all equals out in the end.

    I want to add. Some of these beer ranking sites.. Take them with a grain of salt. Try everything if you can, atleast once. I have tried some ranked 100 out of 100 beers that are vial. Yet they are rated some of the best. I'm far from a beer snob. I respect beer But I will never hate on anyone for liking a certain type of beer after trying some of that high ranked stuff.

    go to beer is Heineken.
    I like Stella, Tecate, Bud, Newcastle, Blue Moon, Sapporo, Asahi...I'm always open to try a new beer. I bought a beers of the world case from Costco a few years back and really like an Italian beer, but forgot the name.

    If some of you dont really like Corona, you should try this...darker version of Corona. Used to be only south of the border, but has started to make its way into some socal Sams Club and various other stores. Only sold in 32oz size. I prefer this over Corona Extra in a heart beat...not really a fan of Corona extra anyway.

    Ahh yes. I did try that the other day for the first time. A taste similar to dos equis which is quite appealing. I haven't had a chance to check out Samsclub or other retailers. I hope I dont have to buy a 32oz bottle each time I want one.

    You may be thinking of Peroni. They seem to serve that in a lot of Italian restaurants my way.

    My most favorite beer.  Tastes so much better at the Guinness Store House in Dublin, if you get a chance to go there and try it fresh!
