It's nice you like a Pennsylvanian beer (or maybe Florida, since Yuengling has a brewery down there).
I'll recommend Victory's (also a PA brewery) Prima Pils. Has the "lightness" of a regular lager, but has the "character" of an IPA. Kind of hard to describe what that means, but you will know it when you taste it.

BA has it graded in the 90's, which is quite exceptional.

Ah jeez, don't drink that corporate Inbev crap. You're on the wrong coast for great beer. All the good stuff comes from Oregon and surrounding states. You're best bet is look at this http://www.thinknydrinkny.com/breweries.php
New York...we get all the good European beers here while they are fresh. There's some great micro brew stuff here in Albany, like http://www.evansale.com/ and i really like this place: http://www.wolffsbiergarten.com/
Zxan, I'm not a huge fan of most IPAs.
I've been enjoying Bell's Oberon Ale for summer stuff (although when it gets really hot I'm going to try their Lager of the Lakes).
Yeah, then you may not like that beer. Then again, you may be surprised. It's brewed like a pilsner (Except it isn't like the BMC 'pilsners,' in that it isn't an adjunct, but the malt is pure barley.), but it is much more hoppy. If you don't like a lot of hops, then it probably isn't for you. (But as a hophead, I love really hoppy beers.)
If you feel extraordinarily adventurous to try things that you may not like, get a 6-pack. If you don't like it, send the remaining five my way.
Case in point: At first I wasn't too keen on the idea of witbiers. But when I tried Hoegaarden, I fell in love with the style.

We've got a great micro-brewery right across the river in Quincy, IL. If you're ever here you should give em' a try - O'Griffs. They've got an AWESOME oatmeal stout that I love.

When I drink beer, that's all I'm doing. Two that have been keeping me well-occupied lately are Left-Hand Milk Stout and (512) Pecan Porter. The stout may be my favorite to date. The latter may be harder to find outside of Texas.
I know that feel. As a Pennsylvania resident, it gives me a warm feeling inside when people talk about PA breweries all over the country/world.
The cool thing is, I actually live really close to the Troegs Brewery in Hershey. I should go over there sometime and get a growler of something. I just never found the time.
Stella is corporate duck piss, as is Spaten (which is the brewery, not the beer, by the way). Yuengling is American. Czech Rebel is pisswater that's scraped off the top off the barrels and sold to the US market (Hradecky Votrok 11 is the real stuff).
I'll let you off Bitburger.
Yeah, Stella is really nasty stuff now but I do remember back in the 80's when you could only get it on draught import in a freehouse (no other pubs sold it) and it was a fantastic pint - and lethal after 3-4 pints of the stuff.
Now, as Ambershee states, it really is corporate duck piss - I would not recommend Stella in any form these days.

Now that's more like it. What are the "real" versions of those beers across the pond? I'm only familiar with American craft beers,which are excellent. It's tough to nail down what the locals drink over there from here, hence the thread
