If you like "Newcastle", be sure and try "Samuel Smith Brown Ale" from England - you might enjoy the later even more.
If you like Budweiser, be sure to try "Czechvar" from the Czech Republic - the beer that Budweiser was based on (/stole and then refused to grant trademark privileges to when 'Budvar' (the actual name of the beer) first made its appearance in the States) - it's like Bud, but with real taste.
Any beer dispensed in a clear or green bottle is something to avoid, IMO. That means Corona, Heinie, Grolsch, whatever... Those bottles (unlike brown or opaque ones) do nothing to protect their beer from the sun's harmful radiation that can easily skunk the hop oils in beer. There's not a knowledgeable brewer in the world who would put any beer they were proud of in a green or clear bottle.... hence the beers are something to avoid, I think.
My personal favorite? I always have a 6-pack of Bass in the fridge - and a couple Sierra Nevada Pale Ales... but the best answer, for me, is "whatever beer is currently in front of me"
