I really like Dark Horse Crooked Tree India Pale Ale. Really I just like all IPAs. I'm also a big fan of most beers made by Rogue, especially the Mocha Porter.

Of course if I'm somewhere with a limited selection my fallback is Sam Adams Boston Lager or maybe a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Also anything by Founders.

EDIT

I also have to agree with Andrew and give props to beeradvocate.com, the best site on earth.

I don't usually drink, but I do like Rolling Rock beer. It's a pale lager.

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. It's made in Delaware, though widely available.

To all the haters of American beer: American craft brews make many of the best beers I have ever tried. American macros suck, but craft brews can be exceptional.

The best beer that I have ever tasted

Founder's Breakfast Stout from Founders brewery in Michigan. Good luck finding it unless you are visiting the brewery. Our local craft beer outlet got only two cases last year and put a limit of two bottles per customer.

For an everyday beer I enjoy Budweiser, but when I can I like to drink Shiner Bock.

Sam Adams makes a decent variety of beers; unfortunately, American beers as a group tend to be lacking.

Blue Moon is good because it's a very close approximation of Maissels Hefe Wiessen (My beer of choice when I was stationed in Germany--Liquid Lunch!).

For cheap beer, I drink Icehouse. (Yes I know...no wisecracks--I like the strength and it makes a good swimming pool for my olives...AKA "A Poor Man's Martini".)

As far as all of the "Name Brand Beers" like bud and michelob and so on? They suck. Watered down tasting and overpriced--more successful in marketing than in flavor--thats why they constantly come up with new gimmicks.
