You can get just about anything in the USA but it may be 'locally brewed'
so ¨not taste the same (should be close though and may be so close you cant
tell).

Miller Lite in Thailand cant be told from Miller lite brewed stateside.  At
¨least, I cant tell the difference.

One thing I do when I travel is check out the local brews.  You may find
some ¨of them are to your taste.  I'm not talking the main ones you've
heard of ¨(Miller, budweiser, coors) and possibly have tried, but the more
uncommon ones ¨you may not have tried.  Sam Adams, Mexican Corona with a
sliver of lime, some ¨of those.  Since 'dark beer' isnt really very
'American', we dont do that good ¨of a job making it.  By and large,
American beers are less strong tasting, not ¨because we cant make them
strong tasting, but because we 'like'm like that' for ¨the most part
.
