first, you'll Not want to ask for a beer "in a cup", rather you'd ask for a pint of something "on tap", the tap handles at the bar will indicate what is being served from that particular tap, normally this is slightly cheaper and more fresh than buying a bottle (also the keg can not be "light struck" so odds are that, say, a heineken on tap will taste better than heineken in a bottle), that said, should you order a bottle it's perfectly fine to ask for a glass to pour it in as well.

What is "on tap" will vary by where you are and what bar you are in, beers that are nearly guaranteed to be on tap across the country are bud and bud light(or the miller/coors equivalent), all are very popular. It's also pretty common (at least on the east coast) to find one form or another of sam adams, which in choosing you can not go wrong with, though there is no guaranteeing you'll like the style being offered (ie sam adams offers over 20 different beers, the boston lager is most likely to be on tap, or a seasonal beer like the winter lager right now). Blue moon is the most common wheat beer you'll find on tap, it's made by coors and decent, as a guy I personally never fruit the beer and recommend you do not either (ie pass on the orange). Keep in mind most "college" or sports bars are not going to have a wide selection on tap (usually only 4-5 beers). The last beer that jumps out at me as being common to find on tap anywhere is guiness, but that doesnt sound like what you're looking for, unless by light you meant low alcohol (surprisingly, at least to most people, guinness is only around 4%).
To wrap it all up... nothing on tap at your average bar is going to be wild tasting or very different from what you think a beer should taste like (sans the guinness perhaps) so do not be afraid to buy and try them all until you find what you like the best.

budweiser or corona

Brooklyn Lager is great but dont know if they sell it outside of New York... In any case always try to go for microbrews...

Try Blue Moon. Its so good. It's a Belgium wheat beer - like hefeweizen, but instead of it having a hint of lemon, it has a hint of orange.

And don't forget the orange slice to go with it !

Sella Artois

steinlager... great new zealand beer
but i guess that would be expensive

Alexander Keith's is the best beer around.

Heineken or Corona.

LQ!!!

Bud light. Cheers!

Coors Light - or order a chardonay
ps. spelling isn't my best talent
