My Mum's Meatballs Carbonade is one of my most favourite meals. Plenty of beer in it too. I really should get the recipe off her, one for the meatballs, one for me, one for the meatballs, ah bugger it chug chug chug chug... now what was I doing?

Unless it's Nigerian Guinness, a different beast entirely. Good stuff.

What's the difference? Does the Nigerian stuff make you more likely to give total strangers your bank account details when you're just about to deliver a technicolour yawn?

Beers like Nigerian Guinness is brewed stronger because of the climate alcohol gets messed up by heat see also New Guinean,Indian and various South Pacific beers.Not Oz or NZ obv. *goes back to garden for lie down*

Yeah. Here in the Philly area, you can go into a bar and ask for a "Lager" and they know what you are talking about. I was just in Florida last week and tried the same thing. The server asked if I meant "Yuengling" and I said yes. Give it another year or two and Florida will know what a "Lager" is.

I'll have to give that a try.
Poured into the glass very slowly like the on-tap, or straight down and quick like some others?

It's been done. While going to school in Preston (England) a number of years ago, I wandered into the local supermarket (Sainsbury's?) and saw the ultimate travesty,
Thunderbird ...with the tagline, "the American Classic."
Scary? No.
Horrifying? Yes.
But for favorite beers available in the US, I would go with the following, but not necessarily in this order (and please excuse my spelling):
1. Guinness on tap or can
2. Hooegaarden
3. Sam Adams Nut Brown
4. Sam Adams Boston Ale (Brewmaster Collection)
5. Erdinger Weissbier
6. Franziskahner Weissbier
7. Bass
8. Fullers Extra Special Bitter
9. Theakston
10. Samuel Smiths IPA
That's all I can think of right now....

Oddly, when I think of crap beer served up overseas my mind goes straight to....
Fosters.
Nary a drop hath passed my lips yet I know it's bloody awful - judging from the fact that you can't buy it in pubs and nobody would buy it anyway.
Paul Hogan may think it "tastes like an angel crying on ya' tongue" but I reckon it tastes like crap.
Well, if everyone else has opened this up to include non-USAian beers, then I might as well go along with it. I'm rather partial to a pint or three of Black Sheep or Deuchars.
It's a fine day when they're both on as guest ales in our local tavern.

For some reason, your large Carlsberg logo reminds me of the award-winning Carlton advert, featuring vistas and extras reminiscent of the Lord of the Rings.
You definitely need sound for this one...stereo is better!!

Yeah, its not bad out of a can. not a huge fan of the bottles, but I can handle it if its there. On tap is obviously an entirely different animal though.
Its funny how much variance there is with guiness though. I guess its got to do with the nitrogen mixture used or something like that. Some places have great guiness. Other places just don't.
One of my major problems with some bars is that they serve guiness much too cold. Its not an american pilsner which is supposed to be ice cold. I prefer it just slightly chilled. When I get an ice cold guiness I have to wrap my ahnds around the glass and let it warm up for a few minutes before I start drinking.
I also forgot to earlier mention that Bass is great too. Especially in a black and tan.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my favorite lately. I've also been known to enjoy some the local brewerys Arrogant Bastard Ale.
But for cooking those can be bit expensive and too heavy, So I use Sam Adams. All this talk of beer and I'm stuck here at work. Aaarrgh!

...Belgian Style!
I live in Belgium and we've got no Great Whites arond here. Much less any palm trees...Kind of a pitty really, for it would make diving a lot more interesting and I would not have to fly to South Africa to "mingle" with them On the beer side, there are around 800, many of which can be found in the U.S. if you are willing to pay for them. A Leffe triple is always a treat as is a nice Chimay. And, for those really rare warm days (we don't get many) a nice blanche, like a Hoogarden is the top.
I just came back from GA last week...Can't say I've found any new beers worth remembering but good ribs at Fats Matts...

Mmm, I drink more lagers than ales, but Black Sheep is probably my favourite ale. That and Adnams...
