I've sampled local brews in, besides the USA (too many states to list), Mexico, Panama, Guatemala, Canada, the UK, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria, Germany (north, south, and east), Japan, and India.

My favorite beer of all is British Bitter (the so-called "real beer" (cask) variety - meaning unpasteurized). "Bitter" is an ale. And my favorite from among those locally brewed bitters is Pedigree Bitter. You can get Marston's Pedigree Bitter bottled for wider distribution (even export, so you can probably find it in the USA), but that is not cask beer - it has been pasteurized, and it is not as good IMO.

from a group that can't agree on the proper leather composition of a shoe, we're now getting an argument over the proper taste of beer. God help us all

However, if they are such competitors, why does Guinness (Ireland) and Labatts (Canada) brew and market AB products in their respective market? Part of the deal actually includes an 8% AB buy-in (softball terms) of Labatts.

BTW, didhappen to mention that the Guinness Extra Stout is brewed and bottled in Canada, either New Brunswick or Toronto.
