Ahh, beer. It's an acquired taste. Some liquor store near my house in Indiana would let you mix and match a six pack, which would be ideal for you. I doubt they permit that here.
I doubt you'll find the first ones you try very appealing, it's a matter of trying many and finding out which types you enjoy. You might want to go to a microbrew pub near you and just try their sampler.
Otherwise, the best we can do is recommend some brews you might enjoy.

The one and only, Newcastle Brown Ale. My personal favorite.
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday.
Hmm. Guinness is a fantastic beer, but it's darker and more of an acquired taste. As a first beer purchase, if you can find it in Nebraska, I recommend Easy Street Wheat. It's light enough to not turn you off, but has enough flavor and body to be enjoyable.
If you can't find Easy Street up there, Samual Adams beers are always a good choice.
How about a 5 pack?

Blue Moon is really good. They have a couple seasonal variants that are really good too. Pumpkin Spice and a Winter one.

Bear, I rarely drink, a couple beers a month maybe. I told him Pigs Eye, because he would never want to drink again. I tried it once, after a half a beer i allready felt like I had a hangover. It was brutal. In 1997 when I tried it, it was the cheapest one sold at the Golden liquor store. So, I was kidding dont try it, or it will turn you into a tea totealler.

Your profile says "Outside Boulder" ... forget the six pack, go "inside" boulder and hit one of the many fine brew pubs for a quality draught (if you have to live near that place you might as well take advantage of the one thing Boulder is good for).
In fact just go here http://www.boulderbeer.com/ (they're at 2880 Wilderness Place) and see if they do a "sampler" (which most breweries do).
When you find a brew you like, buy a growler of it.

Wanna get drunk for CHEAP? (Disclaimer: no guarantees about having a positive experience!)
Put some Pep in your step a followed by some Evil in your Eye. (90 proof Peppermint Schnapps and a 40 of Evil Eye.)

I agree with Ginsue or Al-x. A nice, smooth wheat beer (Easy Street or Blue Moon) is a good beer for early in your "career". I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but I like to squeeze an orange slice into wheat beer (not uncommon, but unless you've done it, it sounds kinda gay). Good luck on your final!
I'm going to have to agree with Hoosier on this one, get some Newcastle, or if you can find it (I've never really looked around here for anyone that carries it)
Rogue Dead Guy Ale.

I drank a 40 of Evil Eye once and decided to go for a walk, woke up an hour or so later in a nearby by park sunburned to wholly hell. Not fun and not recommended.

Isn't there a man-law about "fruiting the beer"? [ROFL1]
1) Guinness
2) Killian's Irish Red
3) Yeungling (from America's oldest brewery in Pottsville, PA. Don't know if they have it here, I've only seen it on the east coast)
Or you could just jump in head first and get yourself a nice bottle of Jameson or Jack. Or have an Irish Car Bomb, my personal fav.
Happy Barfday. Have fun and be safe.

Alaskan White... a good wheat beer...

Or Belhaven St. Andrews Ale or Scottish Ale

Or go dark and bold with a Spaten Optimator

Old Chub
happy birthday! you hold a very historic birthday with pearl harbor.
I would go with easy street wheat. I love wheat beer, and something local made that is definitely going to be fresh is my preference for beer!
I would also get yourself a handle of jack and enjoy the night[Pepsi]
thanks for the advice all! [Beer]
i have had Alaskan white had it over thanksgiving. pretty good taste! i liked it. i will look over and see what i can get here in NE.
I would go to boulder or FOCO but im currently in NE for school so kind of a haul when im home im close to boulder but not to close [Coffee]

Still got that "5 Pack" left. Since you couldn't handle the good stuff I tried to introduce you to! HAHAHA
Still get funny looks when I try to order a Zima Keg! You can float it and still drive home!
Get caught with one in your lap and the officer just laughs and says "Move along queer".......
They still make Zima? Wow. I tried a sample cup of Guinness once, poured half of it out. Still gives me the willies just thinking about it. Nastiest shit I ever tasted, right up there with Strohs and Iron City.

A lot of the New Belgium beers are very good. 1554 is a good darky. Trippel is something like 7.8% :)

5. Elephant
6. Thick brown ale's are good for a new palate
7. Coors original
8. Yadda
9. Yadda
10.Yadda
When my step son turned 21 a few years back, his AK-47 he ordered came in on his birthday. When he went to pick it up he realized he's 21 and can buy a handgun. He walked in the door with an AK, a 357, and a six pack. He had the guiltiest grin I'd ever seen.

Oskar Blues Old Chub. If you can drink a 6 pack of that, your are my hero.
back in my younger years i woulda tried them all-start with the imported german beers i never heard of and well work my way across europe untill i passed out!![Swim]
but now since im older and a bit wiser the only 6 pac ill buy now is one that sits atop a 440![Driver]
(with the rest of it attatched-of course!)
Without reading any of the thread yet (I just got home); just go buy your favorite. I'm sure you've already got one. ;)
One of my great friends once described Evil Eye like this, "It's like...like someone wringed a skunk's asshole out into a bottle." He couldn't have been more correct.
There was a liquor store I used to go to in Aurora that would always make up a "Mystery" 6 pack. It was 1 or 2 decent beers, and the rest was crap they couldn't get rid of, but I still bought them. They'd put it into a paper bag and staple it shut.

Nothing like the ole mystery grab bag, " It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get"
After buying 4 or 5 of them, you could accurately guess 4 of the 6 that you were going to get. That was the down fall.
I'd buy a lot more of those variety packs that breweries sell, but I don't like Pale Ale and they like to stuff that garbage in there.

What? Are you implying that he consumed alcoholic beverages before he actually turned of legal age to do so? I've never heard such a thing.

Well played, Sir. Well played.
I bought a six pack of some Blueberry beer last night. It turned out to be 8% alcohol. I drank more of them than I should have and just woke up 40 minutes ago.
I like Bud Light, or Bud Light Wheat. I've tried Bud Light Lime, but it does'nt taste as good as real lime, that I buy from the grocery store along with real lime juice concentrate; that I put in Bud Light bottles and stir.

I'll second Fentonite's recommendation. Easy Street Wheat, Blue Moon, Shock Top are all good. My kegerator currently has Sunshine Wheat (because I couldn't find a keg of Easy Street) and I put orange in mine, too. I usually keep a couple oranges around (if I can keep the kids from eating all of them) for this. [Coffee]
Happy Birthday!
