Get your hands on some Mother's. Made in Springfield. It is excellent.
Personally I prefer White River over Mother's.

I am a craft beer convert, but I still have to keep some A-B products around for wife and less refined guests.
Seriously, it's like eating toostie rolls (A-B) all your life and discover a box of chocolates (craft beers). I really enjoy beer now. Before it was just popping a cold one with the guys.
There are, generally speaking, two types of craft beer drinkers, Hop lovers and malt lovers. I go to the dark side; malt.
I've checked out over 2 dozen different breweries and I can honestly say, you can't compare one to another, because each is uniquely different. You also find out, it's like a fraternity. They love each other! Brewmasters visit each other, and learn from each other.
Here's my take:
Not a big hoppy fan, but if you love hopps, Schafly Dry Hop American Pale Ale should be on your list. Anything from Lagonista. But if you have a total addiction to hoppy beer, the prize goes to Oskar Blues' Deviant.
Fruity beers, again not a big fan, but I have to say, on a hot humid summer day, they taste great. Moving past the Bud-Light Lime and Rita series, Leinenkugel Summer Shandy is a good lemon flavored beer (stay away from the berry or orange). Kirkwood Station has a great blackberry wheat. Wheat beers go well on summer days, or a good Belgium white ale.
Maibocks - Have to say Shiner tops my list. Next is Rogue Dead Guy Ale.
Ales - While the Germans were brewing Lagars, the Brits and Belgians were brewing Ales. There are lots of good ales, O'Dells 90 Shilling stands out for me.
Red Ale - O'Dells Runoff Red.
Brown Ales - AleSmith Nut Brown Ale.
Rye - Great Divide Hoss, Boulivard Rye-on-rye
Porters - my favorite. DeSchutes Black Butte Porter, Founders Porter, Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgeral Porter (have to drive to Sprinfield IL for Great Lakes).
Stouts - Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Founder's Breakfast Stout, New Holland's Dragon's Milk, Left Hand Milk Stout
Be careful going to the darkside. Many have much higher alcohol content. You might have 2 or 3, but it's like 6 or 7 lagers.
