I have found so far that I'm liking the Lagunitas pilsner & new Belgium 1554 beer
Any widely distributed bottled kinds I can try?

Beer Advocate list is BS biased toward high alcohol styles.
I was raised blue collar. My dad bought The Beast, The Beast Light, or Bush Light. Late in life he'd splurge on Yuengling.
He was also a Single Malt Scotch fan.
My tastes follow his.
I like Keystone Light tall boys, Bush Light, The Beast Light, and expensive single-malt scotch (preferable Islay). I'll also drink Bud Light or whatever is the cheapest beer at the bar.
Guinness is my favorite. Forever.
I'm on a big IPA kick right now. Centennial IPA and Stone IPA are a couple of my favorites. I think both of those are pretty wide distributed.
Bell's (Michigan) makes some awesome brews.
Best beers:
1. Natural Ice/Light
2. Old Milwaukee's Best Ice/Light
3. Icehouse
4. PBR
5. Busch

If you want inexpensive micros I think Odell's IPA is the best IPA for the money (cheap here in Fort Collins). I think one of my favorite beers regardless of price and style is Firestone Walker Double Jack (and their Union Jack is good too,, lower ABV and cheaper) and New Belgium's Super IPA.
New Belgium has a seasonal Imperial Chocolate Coffee that is good. And their Cocoa Mole is very good.
Deschutes is a good non-Colorado Brewery I like that has a good mix of quality and price. Their porter and their Inversion IPA are good.

Great recommendations. Odell's, Firestone Walker, and Deschutes are all excellent breweries, and you picked out some of their best offerings.
The OP said he liked Pilsner, and I believe 1554 is a black ale.
Those tastes might not appreciate the hop-heavy recommendations you gave, but might line up better with the New Belgium offerings you listed.
I believe the Wookie Jack is a black ale from Firestone Walker that is really good. I honestly don't know any outstanding pilsners.
The best advice might be to try as much as you can and see what you like. Many liquor stores have a build your own 6-pack, which is great for exploring new beers and tastes.
DOGFISH HEAD.
Atwater Vanilla Java Porter
Great Lakes Burning River, Thirsty Dog Xmas Ale, Centennial IPA. I also get in the mood for a fresh Budweiser in a can. Budweiser has to be no more than a month old and cold.
Beer has jumped the shark.
Anyone on here ever heard of beerjobber.com? It's a site that partners with smaller micro breweries and sells and ships their products to individuals across the US. I haven't ordered anything as it can be quite pricey. But, if you don't mind spending the money and like to try something different, it's a good opportunity.
I am not convinced that anyone actually likes beer. I have been trying for over three years to find a beer that I like. Some beer does taste better than others but in the end none of them really taste good. It seems like people just choose the bear that is least bad.
I'm a Hoegaarden fan myself. Tasty, light and not bitter.

Keep drinking the AB Inbev garbage.
Yuck.
I'm also a big fan of Odell's IPA, as well as their 5 Barrel. Ska's IPA is another one of my "go to" beers. The quality if IPAs coming out of Portland is quite amazing. Many, many excellent beers in Rose City.
