The kind that's made with malt, hops, and yeast. Seriously, I like to use Guinness. Brilliant!
Busch. In pounder cans. Drink two for every one you use in the batter.
Thanks for the tips, guys. Shootlikeawoman, I think I'll take your advice and use Guinness. Timmy2bears, I think I'll take your advice and drink Busch with the meal.
Hey Scud, maybe I should take that advice back. Judging by that profile photo, you're too young for beers.
Lol Timmy...
Easy, PBR...Perfect Bluegill Recipe
To go with YooperRyan, if you have a more sophisticated taste, try Labatt Blue.
I like a darker beer. Try Alaskan Amber it's great to cook with and is perfect to drink with the meal.

Chris you posted enough times....:P
Anyway don't spend too much money. Experiment with different beer too.
Anytime I cook with beer or whiskey I use whatever tastes best to me at the time. I dont drink one brand specifically. Especially beer. I like to swith it up. I would say whatever your in the mood for.. use it no particular one is best. Busch is pretty good though. My personal favorite is any one that is cold!lol
I really like shiner or ziegneback when I make a beer batter, but use whatever you like the taste of as mentioned above,

Why Labatts Blue for bluegills or course!!!
You guys are all rookies. The best beer is always FREE beer.
whatever you have in the fridge, drink one per every pound of fish...
Natural Light
i never eat blue gill but i drink heinekin
SCHMIDT, OF COURSE, that's why they put pictures of fish on the cans.
Coming from a boke college kid remember always quantity over quality. Natural Light
Generally in cooking, the cheaper the better, so you could go with a nice Pabst Blue Ribbon. But I'm a big fan of either Killian's Irish Red. Or for a different twist, the Miller light with lime.
ShockTop I believe its a wheat ale, with citrus (orange and lemon) anyways kinda expensive but has tons of great natural flavoring, so you just have to buy one thing at the store and thats the six pack. Blue Moon is also good in the same catagory as above. I'm going to have to try the guiness, bet that gives it a a very full flavor can't wai till the weekend now!
use a dark beer like Beck's Dark. Just because you drink the cheap stuff doesn't mean you should cook with it. Unless you have already been drinking a good bit before you eat, then it really doesn't matter what you cooked it in, it will all taste the same!
Try it all. All beers taste different, as you most likely know, so just buy what you want. Experiment!
Cold PBR
Free beer.
Busch Light!!!!!!

I have always used Mickey's. I find with fish the skunkier the better.
Budweiser
The beer you like to drink. The flavor will transfer slightly to the batter. If you like the brew your drinking then you'll probably like the batter it makes too.
