Rainier beer
Depends on the liquor store. I frequent 2 that have either Mirror Pond or SNPA for 12.99 a twelve pack. I get all Lefthand Brewing for half off at the tasting room but they're out of most bombers and they don't make a hoppy beer in a sixer so even though it's a sweet deal I frequent them less often.
Harpoon IPA
closely followed by Long Trail IPA and Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA.
In the summer usually a Hefe. Most likely Harpoon UFO Hefe.
I love beer!!

Been lurking for while and this seems like as good a place as any to break my silence...
For me, if my local's got it on, you can't beat some Timothy Taylor Landlord
Othewise, at home it's either heineken (if they've got it going cheap in the supermarket) or cheap French-y beer that does the job. Cheaper the better!
If I think I've been really good, I'll try and get my hands on Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Nectar!
I call these my default beers.
My #1 packy go to beer would have to be Long Trail Ale no matter the season.
Bar/Restaurant go to beers depends on the state I am in, in NH Tuckerman Pale Ale, in MA Harpoon IPA,VT see above.
When in unfamiliar locations I ask for the local microbrew and go from there.
Now I am thirsty.
PBR or Budweiser
People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.

I'm usually a season off-the local beer store always has deals on out-of season seasonals that they are trying to get rid of. Right now its saranac irish red and stout for 3.99/6. Price goes down the longer they have it. Last fall I was paying 1.99/6 for summer beers.
so many amazing beers to choose from in CO, I'm always grabbing beers from New Belgium, Avery, Left Hand, Ska, Brek. But my traditional 'go-to' beer list is:
Sam Adams Light
Guinness
1554
On the cheap: PBR
Blue Moon. I am a Heifeweizen nut. I am always looking for a good dopplebock though.
In the summer time when I have a job it's Alaskan Amber, New Belgium Ranger IPA, Mirrorpond or anything else from deschutes for that matter. My friend lives near Bend and we always make the trip down for their annual garage sale of mislabeled bottles, slightly aged kegs and so forth. They have absurd amounts of delicious beer that they sell for cheaper than you can imagine.
In the winter its rainier, pabst, and olympia tallboys

Are you in Calumet? I assume you've tried all the Keweenaw brewing co. stuff. It's okay, I enjoy it.
In my fridge (and many here) Leinenkugel is a mainstay, and more common than Coors / CL / ML. Yea some of it is a little fruity, but I enjoy almost everything from them. Hooray for Leinie lodges!
I used to think Leinies was good too...now, not so much. Leinies original is swill, the others are too fruity, but I will say creamy dark and the new amber are pretty tasty brews. Check out New Glarus in your neck of the woods, or viking brewery in Dalles, WI.

without a doubt for every occasion (excuse)

KBC isn't bad, it's all a little too thin for my taste and I've yet to try a big bold IPA from them.
Leinenkugel is kind of blah to me and not all that cheap.
