Depends what you are looking for.
I've had awesome stouts that were so stout they could double as a meal, and I've had island beers that were nice for a long hot afternoon of fishing or cooling down after out side work.
Tbf, im not a beer snob though and choose primarily based on activity and temperature of day.
I usually like Newcastle Summer, I'm not a fan of Stella. Blue Moon is acceptable. But since neither that nor Newcastle is sold as singles near me (and a 12 oz or pint not even once a week, at most twice a month is the most I'll drink at one time), that usually means Heineken. I've 2 pint cans in the fridge now (I prefer bottles), but that is because I'm the last month, a neighbor has brought me three, in return for small favors. And the first was lovely, to wash* down a nice potato poon. It balances the sweetness nicely.
ETA: tbh I hate stouts, but I'm really not a beer drinker. When I drank liquors occasionally, I usually preferred a pricier tequila or single malt Scotch, and being on limited funds, that curbs that, nicely.
The only time I've ever had Irish whisky was in Bailey's, but if anyone can recommend a good Irish, I'll keep it in mind.
Newcastle Summer?
Beer that tastes like rain, wet sausage rolls and tracksuit armpits, I'm guessing
American beer! No thanks.
