I have always liked Miller Genuine Draft. Genny Cream Ale was the first beer I ever had. At fourteen I was not choosey, plus it was warm. Drank a lot of Utica Club in college in central NY.

Today I probably buy Dos Equis Amber more than anything else.

I drank many, many gallons of Genny Cream and Utica Club back in college. As social chairman of my fraternity (back in the days when the drinking age was 18, as it should still be), I discovered that Genny tasted a whole lot better when tapped from a fresh keg, as opposed to cans or bottles, where it seemed to get musty and stale awfully fast.

Utica Club was actually pretty decent (and cheap, which of course matters a great deal when you're a student), and they also made a Bock beer in the spring (dark, malty and surprisingly good).

These days, I brew my own, and yield about two cases or so from $35 worth of fresh ingredients.
