depends on the country. if your american, then you cant go wrong with a bud. but honestly i think that beer is a waste of pee. go get yourself som liquor. jagermeister and red bull mixed 50-50 works really good. or try seagramms 7 and 7'up mixed 50-50. have fun .
Go for your ales. Sarah has a handle on things btw.
Missing: Sierra Nevada, Grolsch

Seriously, they're all over... I could go on all day, but I won't.
I definitely recommend a Wheat Beer of some kind (NOT Blue Moon) and a Pale Ale or IPA (my favorite style).
Need more info, please feel free to contact me or repost.
Guiness
Newcastle Brown
Just stay away from the watery-crap American beers. They are just awful! (Some American beers are good, but I am talking about the mainstream, heavily advertised on TV beers...they are not good at all!)
Try some Pale Ales or India Pale Ales(IPA) any brand, Pale Ale has lots of flavor from the kinds of hops they use. Boulevard and Sierra Nevada are two of my favs.
Surprised no one has mentioned Rolling Rock yet. It's quite excellent.
One of the best things to do is to get a Beer Sampler pack, usually a Sam Adams Winter Pack (if they are still around) and just test as much as you can!
One of the best pleasures in life is rating a beer you have never had before... truly a wonderful experience!
But definitely get some you have never heard of before, stay away from Corona, Heineken, Amstel...
Great White(BEST BEER EVER)
Fat Tire
New Castle
Widmer Hefeweizen
Longboard
Sierra Nevada
Firestone
..just to name a few. Happy be-lated birthday too!
ALL OF THEM
hieniken and u have to try a jack and coke
Any micro brewery in your area would be an awesome place to start. If you can get your Hands on it, anything from Bell's is well worth it.
Find the style of beer you like and go from there. I personally enjoy the hoppier variety, but the hops don't like everyone back.
Anyways here a few I would suggest looking out for
Bells- Two hearted Ale, Oberon, Amber Ale, Winter White
Arcadia- Whitsun
Abita- Purple Haze (sometime alittle inconsistant)
Rouge Dead Guy Ale
Sam Adams can be a good start too
im 13 and i say none it tastes like crap
