Any beer (except Cranberry Lambic) from Sam Adams.

whatever i've just bought pretty much gets shared.. but once it goes into one of my cellar fridges, no one gets it.. hell- not one of my friends has even seen my stash... ever....

Concur... wouldn't wish that stuff on my worst enemies.

I am like this, I share lots, but then sometimes I share one of my stocked up tokyos or rocheforts or mikkller blacks, and then after I think, why? They wouldn't ever get something interesting to share with me... but then I think, who cares! I guess thats why there is usually a dozen or so readily available craft beers or a growler in the fridge, for those who don't care how hard it might have been to brew a beer with cranberries and jasmine and then make it 18%, age it in wood and still taste good and have carbonation!

No BMC in my fridge. I will have anything from Deschutes. Plus my 2-4 growlers of other stuff not on the shelfs. They can take a taste of what I'm drinking but most the time they are very happy having a common Deschutes product.

Pretty much the same for me. I'll save the raities and elite stuff, bombers, etc, for those who will appreciate them, but 99.9% of the time, a $6-7 six pack of Deschutes, Sam Adams, New belgium, Anderson Valley, etc...is what's in the fridge as the handout type stuff. A lot of their regular offerings are quite approachable for a newb, and still quite good (and cheap) when I want one. Don't remember the last time a Bud/Miller/Coors product was in the fridge. For the extra .25 a bottle I'd save over the sale price of beer that's actually good, it's just not worth it. If I can't spend a buck a bottle, there's always water [;)]

Miller High Life if they are swill-only Yazoo Dos Perros if they're not afraid to try something a bit darker Yuengling Traditional Lager SAm Adams Boston Lager

If ya don't like what's in my fridge, then bring yer own, ya f@^kin' swill snob! [:D] Seriously, though, I usually have some Little Kings and/or Hudy Amber lager on hand.

If I'm handing out, it's New Glarus Spotted Cow. If my wife wants to part with some of her stash, it's Rolling Rock.

John, I was in your neck o'the woods a month ago or thereabouts (while you were in DC, as I recall) Seems like Spotted Cow is almost as ubiquitous as Bud Light, in every gas station and hole-in-the-wall corner bar. At least it has some mouthfeel to it.
