I grew up in northwestern Alaska so we drank whatever was available there, usually "Oly" ("It's the water!"). In my younger days at the regionals I appreciated cheap; in the midwest it was Leinie's or Blatz, when I moved back out west Henry's was a pretty good deal. The microbrew "renaissance" has really changed my tastes, though (and blown up my budget). I agree with HSLD, I like a good IPA. I'm living in Wisconsin now, my favorite breweries here are New Glarus and Sprechers. They both turn out great, hoppy IPA's. Sprechers is sold in pint bottles (as it should be!) and their "Pub Ale" and "Abbey Triple" are also great. Point Beer from Stevens Point, WI is pretty good stuff for a decent price. It's a local favorite, especially on campus.
