cream ales for sure. Got to northernbrewer.com and check out their cream ale. All my friends call this batch the "give to anyone beer". I like to call it my taste like nothing beer. Its really close to a lager without all the work.
For most people who claim that they don't like beer, it's because they've only had access to ****ty light american lagers or pilsners. I think this is the opposite of what will get them on board. He didn't say a bmc guy/gal who he's trying to convert to craft beer, he said someone who says they don't like beer.
I have a bit of anecdote that I thought was rather ironic when I first started brewing. I brewed up a hoppy american wheat beer from extract (meaning difficult to get that OG down). Not high on the bitterness, lots of hop aroma, and a bit of a "malt" backbone to it, yet still carbonated at a level to keep it nice and crisp on the finish.
We visit my wife's grandparents, and of course, I brink a case of homebrew with me (her grandpa and dad both love my homebrew). So we all pop open some beer and pour it into glasses that were probably from the 50s, and offer grandma one. She says, "Oh, no thanks, I don't really like beer." But my wife convinced her to just try a sip. She replied with, "Yeah, that really is pretty good." Which I assumed that she just said because she didn't want her new grandson-in-law to feel like a failure (Norwegians avoid making anybody feel bad for anything at all costs). We all sit down and start chatting, and not 5 minutes later, she says, "You know, actually, can I have one of those too?"
My wife was pretty much the same way until I introduced her to craft beer. I think most people only ever try lagers or pilsners, and not even the top-quality ones at that. Therefore they associate all beer with those flavors.
Now if these people you're hoping to please don't even like craft beer, then I would think about some cider, or wine, or go the quick route like others have suggested, and do some kind of hard soda. I think you can get some ok ciders and wines with quick turnaround, but I think any good-quality cider or beer will likely take a couple of months. I don't know that sours are the way to go either, because they're quite difficult to get right, and they take a very long time to make.
