Anything by these boys, my local brewery, based about five miles from my house, but I've been to music festivals 300 miles across the country where the first beer I've seen has been one of theirs!:

My particular favourites are Nelson's Revenge and Norfolk Nog.

Since hitting 30 I've settled in to being a drinker of real ale, European-style lager (Budweiser originates from a Czech recipe, but I'm sure you knew that) just all tastes exactly the same to me now. If it's a big night I may break out the whiskey and cigars.

Wow, to the OP your tiers are rather funny. For me your tier 1 is like my tier 2, although guinness is just awesome I think and should never be put in a class with corona.

When I have money, tier 1 I go for smaller names and higher alc. content ha. I like dark beers, right now I have Big Bear stout, the other night I had some weird japanese Sweet Stout that was very strange. There's one called Old Viscosity and as you can imagine has the consistency of motor oil. My tier 1 bottles of beer range from 5-10 bucks a bottle which isn't that bad. I had some other japanese ale the other night which wasn't bad, I forget the name. On the can however it claimed to be the oldest japanese beer so that should narrow it down.

Tier 2 for me would be a nice coors(yellow can) which is actually a quality beer, PBR which again although cheap is still a quality brew. I would never slum it with something like natrual ice ha. I've had my share of Steel Reserve though I won't lie there and Olde English.

I also picked up some moonshine(legal variety) and can't wait to taste the corn whiskey. Some people may scoff at this, I snuck some Hennessey inside a flask into to see amazing spiderman recently. Hennnessey from a flask seemed like some sorta of fopaux but turned out well enough.

If I can find it I really enjoy Yuengling. If I'm at home visiting family all that is in the fridge is Miller Light or some random IPA that my dad likes. The laws for alcohol content in beer changed here recently so I hope to be trying some new stuff soon. My father-in-law has gotten me hooked on some bourbon that is distilled down the road from his house called Benjamin Pritchard's Sweet Lucy. If I'm at home I'll sit down with a glass of that or Crown over a couple ice cubes and call it a day.

Ah man! Forgot about Fat Tire. That's good. Its like having a damn meal though. Lol

Mixed: A mix of Red Bull & Jägermeister along with some ice cubes or a mix with Orange-Juice, Strawberry Daiquiri mix and either Kalinka or Absolute Vodka, depending on what ever I/they have.

Beer: Like SweaterCat, I have one beer if I have the money and one beer if I'm almost broke. The one where I have money is Carlsberg. The other beer when I'm usually broke, I'll usually go with Tuborg.

Shots: Either "Hot 'n' Sweet" or if I'm out of Red Bull... Yup! The Jägermeister!
