Given only one to choose, and balancing everyday drinkability, availability and taste, my choice is Newcastle Brown Ale.

Damn, reading the previous posts about every country in the world seems like beer heaven compared to Korea. Here it's mostly industrial crap with different labels, the "taste" stays the same.
Wait, one exception: Cafri ( http://www.cafri.com ) might not be as bland as the others. Probably that's why the price is also double.
Memories of more beer-friendly spots: A nice pub lunch near Coventry in England was washed down with pints of Ruddles County Ale ( http://www.ruddles.co.uk ) and I've been a devotee since. Another fine brewery is the Weihenstephan near Munich in Germany ( http://www.brauerei-weihenstephan.de ). Their Weizen has really captured the taste of summer.
And to stay true to my origins, the Sinerbrychoff Brewery in Helsinki is producing a quality porter going by the name of Koff Porter. ( http://www.nycbeer.org/special/sine.html ) They became part of the Carlsberg group some years ago, hope this has not affected production.

Yes! Newcastle! NC is easily the best beer available at supermarkets nationwide. At 7$ a 6-pack, its a delicacy given my tight college budget, but it's definately worth it. Growing up next to Mexico, I always preferred the darker ale there to the domestic variety here until I started drinking NC. Not that I drink beer you know, being 20 years old and all...

Dos Equis is not an Ale it is a Lager. The Amber is a knockoff of a German Octoberfest style while the Special is probably closer to a German Pils then anything else.

New favorite beer, Moose Drool Nut Brown Ale, out of Montana. It's as good as it sounds.

I think he was referring to Dos Equis. Do you really think he was referring to an ale made in Mexico? I've never seen one in a store.

Well, there used to be woods there, till Little Billy Junior, his Blue Ox, Babe, and his magic chainsaw showed up.
I hear that he is so far off the beaten path that the sun sets between his house and the mailbox.

Bill...I just tried this, this summer. My roommate brought some back from a Sundance out on the CROW res. That stuff is great.
When I can't find any of that, I'm usually drinking Fosters.

Thanks! See? I wasn't making up that beer called Moose Drool. That's good logging water.
