I agree!
Though if you want to get fancy, I'd go for Bells

Cold. 
I'm originally from Texas, so I will give a shout out to Shiner.
I'm pleased that it's now readily available in most major grocery stores in the DC area.

If the beer is good, I really don't give a crap about some tenuous link to politics that kooks are the Internet are attempting to draw.

Blue Moon is swill. I'd rather drink Miller High Life out of a can than have to drink Blue Moon.

A lot of brewers sell variety packs with three or four different types of beer. Those are great for parties.
Personally, now that summer's a-coming, I'm getting ready for some great, refreshing wheat beers. Yum!

The ones I have been drinking recently are Full Sail Amber Ale, Bell's Amber, Bells' Two-Hearted Ale, Ommegang Hennepin or New Holland Golden Cap.
...now that it is spring Hoegaarden or Celis White

In 1984, I read a business column in which Peter Coors explained that the reason there were so many small business failures in America is that so many black people were attempting to start businesses when they didn't have the skill set. And that the sooner blacks realized that their role in the American economy is labor, the sooner our economy would get back on track.
I have not paid for a Coors product since that day.

Male here and I remember when the "perfect beer" options were Sierra Nevada, Pete's Wicked, or Red Hook ESB. All still great beers. (As is the original Sam.)
But they've sort of been overtaken by the local craft movement and the "Make It Hoppier!" arms race.
No there are a lot of different varieties. The craft beer movement is not about making it hoppier, you need to get out more....get out of your box.
No, there is some truth to what he is saying. There are lots of non-hoppy options, but sometimes you go to a restaurant and they will have a long list of craft beers, 95% of which are IPAs. There is a certain set for which the goal is to make the beer hoppier. I like good beers and am personally not a fan of IPAs, but I see what he is saying. The last time we were in Vermont there was one that everyone kept saying we just had to try -- it sold out quickly and was hard to find. It was, you guessed it -- the hoppiest beer ever.
PP again. The hoppy thing is analogous to Restaurant Week -- it's for rookies! But it does exist.

I am the original SN poster; and totally agree with this pp on the hops arms race. Also, the bizarre snootiness about beers. It's beer! You know what's really satisfying on a hot day? Coors light! Even if you really like fancier beers too. In fact, I think I'm going to get some this weekend.
Yep.

Except Coors is evil. (Racist, anti-environment, anti-union, but mostly racist.)
I totally agree with you on a refreshing light beer after mowing the lawn. Mine is Bud, or Michelob Ultra.
