Second Rynar's variety pack idea! Get nuts about branching out, too. I mean you're going to want to get some surprises - you've basically only ever had pilsners/pale lagers, and there's a whole world of porters and stouts and bocks out there waiting to make your acquaintance too, and those taste nothing at all like anything you've had before.
In the vein of stuff you've had before, let's see... I like Moosehead and Pilsner Urquell, Sam Adams Boston Lager you can get pretty much anywhere too. I think Negra Modelo with a slice of lime is always good. McAuslan Brewery's St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout is, okay, maybe not so good a place to start. I love it, but it's a little... thicker? I guess that's as good a word as any. It's like the chunky soup of beer, beer that drinks like a meal lol. Might be a challenge to find though. Corsendonk is really good too - pale or brown ale. And if you really want to get out of your comfort zone, drink it at room temperature. It's a completely different, more full bodied ale if you're not drinking it cold.
This thread is ruining me, I'm going to the store now.
