I’ve been drinking Bud Light for 21 years.   It’s what I like.   The problem is I drink too much of it.  In my younger years drank a [BLEEP] ton of Beam, Jack  Jose even absinthe( yay, having a navy medic friend) .  I wouldn’t say I have a drinking  problem.  But I do down the beers.  That has cause weight gain.  The problem is, after 21 years of drinking BL I enjoy it and look forward to it.  I’ve started buying just 2 “big boys”.  That’s great and about 4 12oz beers less than I normally drink.  I’ve been trying to cut back for weight reasons.  6’1” 200.   Doesn’t sound bad but I’m not exactly all muscle.  So in drinking the 2 big boys, I found on the rare occasions I want more it’s better to drink something I don’t like.  That way I don’t over do it.  Otherwise, I’d just keep drinking the BL.  I’ve found I won’t keep Drinking after the other beers.  

So my question is simple, what’s a decent beer?  I’m positive the beer snobs will provide stuff I don’t like. Which is really what I’m wanting.  Perhaps I need to go to AA.  Right now I’m drinking some shock top orange crap.   That’s probably been in the fridge for a year since it sucks.

If you're doing it for weight concern, then you have to consider calories and carbs in these snobby beers you don't like.
Some of them won't help your case as they'll have  nearly twice the cals and carbs. 

If I were going to recommend one that's not much higher in calories and I personally believe tastes like [BLEEP] -- I'd go with Sam Adams Light.  I have no qualms with their Boston Ale and a few of their other offerings. Quality stuff as far as I can tell -  but their light offering just sucks.  I had a couple at a party once when there was no other beer about the joint. Ugh. I literally tried the second one because I thought maybe the first I drank was an outlier bad bottle or something. Nope. 

Ended up drinking some horrible cheap vodka and bad-off-brand fruit soda concoction and it was an improvement.
