Ok!  If you live in a fair sized town, chances are they have at least one
bar ¨that has a fair selection of imported beers.  Good chance you will
find at ¨least one 'American' (or Canadian) brew there.  It's a simple and
safe way to ¨'try one out'.  Dont expect mega-flavor.  US beers *are* more
watery tasting ¨because we silly USAians like'em that way .

Sam Adams may be what you are thinking of.  I forget if it's American or
¨Canadian, but it's well thought of by those who are used to beers from
outside ¨the states.

Um, Pilsner?  I think that's what I've been told American beers are?  They
also ¨make 'Lagers' but those arent as popular.  I don't really pay that
much ¨attention to the labels so am not sure of these terms.  I just know
the most ¨popular import, is Heinieken and next up I think is Corona, then
possibly San ¨Miguel.  If you like Heinekien and not any USA beers, you
will find that one ¨pretty easy to get.  They even sell it at 7-11.
