Ok, here's mine. If the first one doesn't classify as a "super basic lager" (upon inspection of your list, global distribution may have been an implied criteria; I don't believe Hamm's is widely distributed outside of the US), then sub in Asahi at the bottom of the list.

1. Hamm's
2. Miller High Life
3. Tyskie
4. Peroni
5. Heineken

Also when Penny learns about teen pregnancy (stomach mumps) and nearly gets assaulted. That sitcom is dark.
