Old Dog, I am first and foremost a wine drinker (I'm a Californian, after all), but not with pizza, then I like beer/ale. For whatever reason, Newcastle is commonly sold in stores here and at a price point that works for me - pricier than the cheapest American beers, but not as much as all the local swanky microbrews.
Every once in a while I venture over to bourbon, usually at a special occasion.
