High End I've got three, depending on the moo:, Drop Top Amber, Rogue's Shakespeare Stout, or Spaten Optimator.

Low end is MHL, all the way.

ooohhh so many to choose from!
High: Chimay Rouge, lambics, overpriced Asian microbrews with all kinds of funky herbs or something boutique-ish
Med: Guinness, Sam Adams or Kirin Ichiban
Low: San Migel or Stella
(this list does not contain beers that are in the US that I would be swilling if I was home because Shiner Bock is totally missing!)

Limiting myself to a single beer from each category to make this more interesting:

Foret / Steel Reserve

High: Stone Arrogant Bastard, Delerium Tremens, and Harp all compete but fall short of Kostritzer

Low: PBR and High Life pale to Old English in a brown paper bag.

Old E is a bit on the sweet side for me, but is way better than Steel Reserve. Old E High G trumps them both.

I drink a lot of High Life. Fuck high end beer. I'd rather have cheap beer and more of it. :D

The best beers to me are the best beers for your money. Yuengling's become a little pricey due to yuppification, tourism, and over-expansion, but its still a helluva solid beer. Fuck the lager, though, the real hidden gem of Yuengling is the Premium.

And Natty Boh ... well, I'll be honest, if Yuenger was the same price, I probably would only drink this stuff when I'm in Baltimore. But c'mon, I make $12.50/hour. And its just a good, solid beer.

Same goes for High Life. I'll even crush Skudweiser as well.

And far be it from me to shy away from the 40oz. I like Bud Ice a lot. And I fucks with the malt liquors: Olde E, Steel Reserve, and you best believe Coqui 900.

Low end: my usual-Genny.
High end: a number of fancy pants brews. Among them Bell's expedition stout and Ballast Point victory at sea.
