Another couple of locals that are good are Dogbolter Dark Lager and Two Dogs, the latters name comes from the infamous Indian joke.
South Australia has a brew called Southwark, it is truly terrible and I wonder how they remain in business, a close contender is West End, even the water is unpalatable there due to the high mineral content.
Gave a bowl to my dog one day and the look he gave me, you would think I was trying to poison him, had to go and buy him some bottled water.

I really like the Japanese beer Asahi.

Or San Miguel.
Dollar Buds and good pizza is honestly hard to argue with
Sometimes the atmosphere and food matter more than having the “best” beer on paper.

I used to get beer for free. I'd rather have one good beer than a case of free crap.Dollar Buds and good pizza is honestly hard to argue with
Fortunately, some of the free beer was pretty good.

I hear when your 19 and kind of broke, the cheap crap doesn't taste to bad after you pound more than a couple.
My first year in a dorm, my college roommate was from the Wilkes Barre Pa region. Hopefully it got better, but I still remember when he brought in that Lion's head beer in a silver can.

^True. It was legal at 18 for me and I spent about a year or two drinking cheap stuff. $1 pitchers, etc. Then I had Guinness on tap for the 1st time and I rarely drank American style lager since.
Wife worked for Miller for about 7 years. 38 free cases a year depending on what they had. They own Leinenkugel and had some distribution agreement with Foster's and for awhile they were tied to Pilsner Urquell when they merged with SAB.
They also own the Henry Weinhards brand, so we occasionally got some soft drinks as well.
Leine makes a lot of craft style beers. Creamy Dark was one I liked.
I also occasionally got to try some unlabeled experiments from the brewmeister.

I don't discriminate when it comes to beer. If I am just buying it for something cold it is Natty Light, Modelo if my wife is in the equation. I do enjoy a good dark beer from about Halloween until Easter. Trying to lay off the stuff lately though.

Memorial Day, DOS XX, Busch Lite, Blue Moon. I was smart enough to take the next day off work in advance but too dumb to keep from drinking about 20 beers.

Porters and Imperial Stouts... All. The. Way.
All locally brewed. Its been years since I've bought beer at a store, and that was DuClaw Unicorn Farts After Dark

Crazy Ed's Cave Creek Chili Beer is no longer produced. However I've been Home Brewing for 30 years and have used this recipe to make something close to the original.

Crazy Ed's Cave Creek Chile Beer clone - Brew Your Own
This recipe is an attempt to clone Cave Creek Chili Beer, which was originally brewed by Crazy Ed's Black Mountain Brewing in Cave Creek, Arizona with a chili pepper placed in each bottle. This golden lager looks harmless enough (unless there's a chili lurking in the bottle!) but if you're not...

My concern would be cleaning the peppers before adding to the bottle. Post fermentation you'd want them super clean/sanitized. Maybe a quick blanche? Haven't rewed in a bit, but I moved to Corny kegs. How are the peppers in a keg?Crazy Ed's Cave Creek Chili Beer is no longer produced.

The other thing would be the oils in the pepper. How do you prevent that from affecting the pour and frothy head?
An old friend tried to get me to try a garlic cheese beer years ago. Garlic (have seen recipes), but cheese? I never wanted to waster the brew supplies trying it, even as novelty.
