Cooking with beer???

I'm in kinda a pickle. The wife and I have been tasked with putting on the family fish fry on the July 4. In the past I've pan fried the catfish fillets or deep fried them but with just a corn-meal coating. This year all want a beer-batter coating. My problem is I do not like beer and I certainly do not drink it. The recipe I've given to use says an amber beer. I don't know one from another.

My question is: Is there a substitute for the beer or a suggestion for a beer to use?



Thanks and it's good to be back.
