I've used Fat Tire and Sweetwater 420 with good results. I went the other route once, used a can of Michelob light that someone had left in my fridge - I figured it was the only way to get rid of it without pouring it down the sink, which is a mortal sin in my religion (even beer you wouldn't drink because there are thirsty children in the 3rd world, etc. etc.). You might as well use club soda for all the flavor it adds.

You should be able to find beer bread mixes in your grocery store or on-line and it's fun to experiment. The beer is necessary because it leavens the mix, making the dough rise, but if you don't get any taste out of the beer, you really miss out on possibilities.
