Arrogant Bastard Ale, if you like something aggressively bitter (or maybe that's just me.) I also like to just say the name. "An Arrogant Bastard here please." And then friends would go, "That's not far from the truth! Har har har!" Stupid joke, but good memories. lol
But I've recently been on a Newcastle Brown Ale kick.
And Hefeweizen beers are pretty tasty.
That's really all I've been drinking for a couple years. ^_^

Try Duvel or some other Belgium beer because that country has some of the best beer in the world
just believe me, it's really really good.
Or Grolsch, just to be proud of my own country's beer
GROLSCH > Heineken

The Beer Hunter website is still online despite Michael Jackson having died in 2007. Michael jackson is always a good guide when it comes to beer. http://michaeljacksonthebeerhunter.blogspot.com/ Any of his books are worthwhile too.
Kilkenny and Corona are two of my favorites. The first one goes best with a thick steak at the pub while the second is best enjoyed sitting in the sun, relaxing after a hard day's work.
Hobgoblin. Newcastle Brown. Theakston's Old Peculiar.
Those three are probably my favourite beers, and they're all awesome. I haven't got the foggiest where you're located, but we've got a global market these days, so I'm sure you can find them.

When I wanna drink beer, I'll have me some Toohey's Extra Dry.
Mmm...

If you have any local brewpubs, you should check them out. It's a good way to get a feel for what kind of styles you prefer since they usually have samplers. If all you've had are those two wheat beers, don't be surprised if you don't like the darker stouts or stronger IPAs right away. You may know people who are really into beer who drink stuff that tastes like turpentine to you. Don't let that make you think you're not a beer person. There's a huge variety of options out there, and probably some great local varieties in your region.
Avoid American beers, they all taste like water used to clean dishes with.
As far as recommendations:
Palm: Excellent smooth Belgium beer that is best drunk (if possible) from the tap in a round, wet glass. If you can't get it on tap, get the bottle version, avoid the cans. Loses it's foam quite quickly, and even quicker with a 'fat' glass, so be sure to clean your glass properly.
Grolsch: A rather 'common' Dutch beer that excels in it's sharp taste. I don't know what country you are from, so I am not sure if this is available to you, but buy a genuine Grolsch in their trademark bracer bottle and drink it (cold) straight from the bottle. Not sure if it makes a real difference in taste, but it adds to the experience. If properly poured it will keep a very firm layer of foam.
Murphy's Red Beer: An Irish classic that is both smooth and full of character, with an amazingly deep red color and great aftertaste. Again, it tastes the best if straight from the tap, but the bottled version will treat your tongue just fine. Best used with a wet, fish bowl shaped glass.
Einbecker Mai-Ur Bock: A German beer that is originally brewed in a small German city called Einbeck, it's a seasonal beer, aimed at a Spring taste. It has a very light yellow color and a very white foam layer (which unfortunately goes away very fast). There are plenty of herbs used in this beer, and coriander is definitely the most present one. You would think that with all those herbs, it would be a very sharp beer, but it's actually very smooth. Can be drunk from a standard beer glass, but I prefer a straight one.
Enjoy!

Also, since a few of you asked, I am in the southwestern United States.
Carlton is Australian swillwater, lower shelf cheap piss... Best of the shit but not one to judge Australian beer on. We have an emerging hand crafted beer market here and mircobrews have been around for ages. Probably in terms of a good export I did find Coopers pale ale in Thailand and while its not our best beer it is one I drink regularly so see if you can get your hands on thatJelly ^.^ said:
