The use of different styles of beer or ales will produce wonderfully different flavors. I recommend trying not only lagers (your standard beer), but also English Ales, Stouts, etc. Each time you marinate substitute a different one for variation.
My favorite so far is Rahr & Sons "Ugly Pug" a black lager brewed in Ft. Worth, Tx.
