I've been feeling a lot of genuine rage at big american beer lately. As a hobby brewer, I am constantly seeing small craft breweries trying to compete with the established big three (Miller, Coors and Busch) and getting pushed out of the market because they can't keep up in the advertising department. So i'm curious.
What beer have you been drinking? Who brewed it? Does it matter to you?
For myself, lots of Ninkasi, Rogue and Dogfish head, particularly Ninkasi's Believer double red. Very tasty.

Er, the craft beer market is better now than it's been in decades, particularly for breweries like Rogue and Dogfish Head.
Also I never really drink any of the beer from the big three. Most of it seems really shitty, to me.
I'm not really sure I see the thing you are talking about in craft beers not being able to compete. There are a ton of independent breweries out there making a lot of awesome beer. In Bloomington, Indiana, where I went to college they had Upland brewery, which was great.

I've never had "good" beer because I'm a poor student, but the shit you drink to get drunk and not for taste tastes like a gorilla fart, to the point where I don't even drink it to get drunk anymore.

I've been drinking a lot of these lately:
I'll bring them to a hangout and all of my friends will be disgusted. The mere smell of an opened bottle has them revolting, it is amazing.

I love seasonal micro-brews and Sam Adams. I do not drink beer that comes in a can.
It took me some time to develop a taste for beer but I'm glad I did. It's easy to find and goes with more things than hard liquor and I feel a little too much like a pretentious cock ordering wine with a burger and fries.
Ninkasi, Deschutes, Rogue, Amnesia, Bridgeport, Cascade, Full Sail, MacTarnahans, New Old Lompoc, Widmer... basically everything in Portland.
Prefer a stout or a porter to anything else but beer is great in all forms. Not the biggest fan of IPAs, in fact, they are my least preferred form of beer. If it's no beer or an IPA though, I'll take the IPA.

I do not drink alcohol and never plan to.
I honestly do not understand the appeal.

The past two or so months my buddies & I have been regularly pouring 8-12 shots of whiskey into our glasses with whatever left for a mixer.
I am slowly destroying myself...

the only beer i can consistently tolerate is Shock Top
Flush your money down the toilet. Same result.
I'm a whiskey kinda guy.
Then I had a lot of cans of Miller High Life because they were a dollar.
So of course, I mostly drink Miller High Life.

Except then I am not drunk.

we've all been making fun of how ridiculous you are when you're not around
This is a joke post right?

I don't drink as much beer as I would like to
Sometimes I get bored of just drinking water.
I, personally, am never bored when drinking alcohol
I can tolerate Guinness
Knock knock.

that is all
My fiance bought it for me.
I'm pretty non particular about beer. I'll pretty much drink whatever.
My favorite though is Boddingtons Pub Ale.

Spaten is gross
That's because Corona both smells and tastes like a skunk's asshole
to be fair I haven't tried much
I like stouts and wheat ales.
I do not like IPAs or Porters
there have been some weird ones
Yeah if I had money I'd love to buy some good beer and see if I still don't like it
I am building up my stomach's tolerance and strength. My stomach is slowly becoming a Vegeta-based stomach.
I get drunk really easy though, that's a plus.
