I tend to like darker, heavier beers. I love Newcastle, Michelob Amber Bock, Guiness, and I also like lighter crisper ones like hefeweizen.

Unlike "vin du pays", you have to take care with "bier du pays", 'cuz brewing is just not the forte of some areas....
Time, place, climate and circumstances have more to do with the appeal of what's placed on the bar before me.....(obviously, Guinness being best in Ireland and good at almost every occasion, but just doesn't hit the mark when you're feet are locked on the transom during a tugging constest with a big fish on an August day in the Gulf).
Day in day out.....
Negra Modelo
Shiner Black Lager
Shine Bock
Many IPAs, unless they are the sort that the brewer has put so many hops in the vat that the flavor is of chicory.
Several "local" German and Czech beers (in the towns of their brewing and on tap.

May have to give this one a try this weekend. Have you tried the Shiner 99? How do these two compare to Shiner Bock? I like Shiner Bock so much that I really have not ventured away from it to try these two.

But it's very different from your usual bock. I would have recommended Shiner 98 to a bock drinker, but probably not the 99.

In the US:
Widmer Hefeweizen, especially in Portland, OR.
Full Sail Pale Ale
Mirror Pond Pale Ale (Deschutes Brewery)
Red Hook ESB
In Japan:
Sapporo Classic (in Hokkaido)
Kirin Ichiban-Shibori
Sapporo Black Label
In Europe:
Haven't been since 1998, but don't recall ever drinking a bad beer there.
Spent a lot of time in Italy, so I'll say Moretti.

Can't say that I agree with that. Wines are rated, and there are empirically good and bad wines. Same thing goes for beer.
I could make a home-brew that tasted like horse-manure to everyone else and would actually be a VERY bad beer, but if I liked it you're saying it can't be called a bad beer?
