I used to like Rolling Rock because it was a clean, simple taste but refreshing. It was bought out by a larger brewing house (forget which one) and maybe it's my imagination, but I can detect a different taste which makes it seem more like every other mass-produced beer, in other words, it's still drinkable but nothing special anymore.
There's a New Orleans beer I used to like but I don't even know if they make it anymore, esp. post-Katrina. Dixie or something?
I'm so knowledgable. lol
I do like Sam Adams' wheat ale.

After Rolling Rock was purchased by Anheuser-Busch, A-B closed the Latrobe, Pennsylvania brewery and moved production of the beer to Newark, New Jersey about a year ago. The Latrobe plant has been taken over by Boston Beer Co. and will be used for making Samuel Adams beers.
Dixie's brewery on Tulane Ave. was still a wrecked shell, damaged more by looting than by flooding, when I visited NOLA earlier this year; the Dixie beers are being contract brewed in Wisconsin until production can resume in New Orleans.

I've seen a lot of good microbrews mentioned. Two larger breweries that I enjoy are Yuengling and Berghoff by Huber Brewing Co. (Incidentally, the first and second oldest breweries in the U.S.). Both produce very drinkable (and very affordable) beers.

Terminal Gravity IPA is excellent. And I like everything Stone Brewing brews and AleSmith in San Diego is rated even higher! And if you ever get to San Diego, you should check out Pizza Port. 3 locations to chose from and excellent local brew. www.pizzaport.com
