Beck's and Stella? 
You might want to talk to someone German and Belgian before you tell anyone else about what's in your fridge..... 
German only drink Beck's overseas and will never touch the stuff at home.
Try to find something like Grolsh, that won't raise eyebrows.
Cheers

Well,it all depends I suppose.
Over here in Blighty we have what we call " session " beers.Normally about 3.8%abv they're good for an average weekday session of four or five pints.
My particular favourite is GFB - a golden hoppy beer made by the Hop Back Brewery in Romsey,Hampshire ( They have a website )
London brewers Youngs also do an excellent session beer which can be stiffened with the addition of a bottle of Ramrod.
Come the weekend and you may want to up the ante a gnats - straying into 4%abv+ terrirtory and then I might opt for a nice Greene King Abbot Ale or perhaps a Wadworths 6X.
Five or six pints of that and you're cooking on all four rings.
By the way - in my local we call Stella Artois " wife-beater "

Have seen the Pumkinhead many times, but have been reluctant to buying an entire six just to find out if I want to drink 5 more.

I like fruited beers, have even tried brewing a couple at home. I was originally a fan of Pyramid Apricot ale but lost the taste. I'll drink the strawberry and lemon products from Sam Adams and recall a few raspberry and blueberry beers I could finish. Likewise I wouldn't buy a six of pumpkin for fear of wasting beer (a mortal sin in my religion).

I'd have to throw my $0.02 for Great Lakes Brewing in CLE - Holy Moses White Ale for year-round enjoyment, Commodore Perry IPA in the summertime (but I think it'll actually be available all-year starting in April or May) but their Christmas Ale (available OCT - DEC) is my all-time favorite.
