Beer bouts...What do real drinkers drink?

I have been reading this March Madness Beer-off in the Post.  I am not really a beer drinker, it isn't really a Lounge Lizard drink, unless it has a shot glass sitting in the bottom.

I noticed the panel is a bunch of fancy tastebuds - brewers, sommelier, etc.  Beer is a common man's drink, like water from a garden hose.  Don't get me wrong, anything well crafted, especially water from a good hose.  So I am curious, what do us commoners really think about which beer they like and why?

Comment if you please, but here are my thoughts: 

1)  I like Guiness Stout - it is bitter and a little briny and drinks like a shake.  When it is poured long, I love the feel in my mouth and the quench it gives with bar food.  The smell is great, the head is thick and looks like milk chocolate.

2)    Blue Moon - I know, a sissy beer, but I like the fact that it is so easy to drink.  I pitcher duringn an afternoon of football games is not a problem.  I once challenged a lady friend of mine to a wing eating contest during the Sunday games.  We each downed a pitcher and a half of Blue Moon and it didn't interfer with my wing consumption.

3)  Dreadnaught IPA - I like IPA because it too is easy to drink.  It has a great orange color and citrus and pine smell.  This one starts out crisp but has a nice dry and bitter aftertaste.

4)  Darkness - This one is one of my favorites, although not easy to find.  It is black and has a kind-of coffee thing going on.  It is basically a meal and can be eaten with a spoon.  I need a glass of water to drink more then a pint.
