I am a Guiness fancier, myself. Belgium, England, and Germany have a few good ones. A few of the pilsner types from other places are good. And Tsing Tao goes great with anything that has dark soy sauce in it.

Beer? Bleh. I'd sooner chew glass than drink that vile concoction.

Hands down the worst beer in the USA is Bud Light. I can't claim i've drank them all, but all the major brands available in Massachusetts I have. Your beers are much more watery than what we have over here. And any lager is more watery than traditional ale.

The best lager i've had is probably in a pub that brews its own here in Bulgaria, located in a very, very small mountain town. The best ale I've had is called The Landlord, I've had it in the UK (East Midlands). Also Old Speckled Hen, but tap, not the bottled stuff from Tesco. Guiness is classic too, but I think I had a better dark ale in Warwick, can't remember the name. In the USA, the tastiest beer for me was corona + lime, though I considered it more like a Bacardi breezer type cocktail than actual beer.

Corona with lime (Mexican by the way, not USA) is a "beach" beer. I am okay with lagers, but prefer ales.

rvg, I cannot concur. I would suggest just ordering the ice tea -- ground glass will not do good things for your tummy.

Nice. Locally brewed is always better.

I can't say I agree. Most of them taste real bad.

You can't go too much wrong with most of Czech, German, Dutch and Belgian beers.

The worst beer is natural light. Hands down.

Budvar Dark is probably the best session beer I've ever tasted. Or would be, if it were common enough to qualify as session. Failing that, there are a number of commonly available (in English pubs at least) English ales that are flavourful enough to be interesting and weak enough not to floor you over a session (typically 4.5-5.5% ABV).
