Magic hat ain't to bad though...well it's an amusing collection of beers, and if nothing else, they have amusing stuff on the inside of the bottle tops

I am assuming by the name they are aimed at women, my 2 y/o thinks they're cute though and calls them 'baby beers'..

Pilsner Urquell is on tap everywhere around here. Always a good fall back. Even better is Trumer Pils - on tap a few places here and bottles everywhere else.
As far as Bud goes, I knew quite a few people back in the UK who drunk it. No idea why. Although the UK version does taste somewhat better.
As for me, I drink the beers of many US breweries including Deschutes (finally 'appeared' in one of the pueblo liquor stores - been missing that stuff), Full Sail, Widmer, Bridgeport, Santa Fe Brewing, Il Vicino (a pizza chain), Rogue (anything with the Morimoto signature is damned tasty), Rio Grande (they have a very interesting New Mexico green chile beer). Note I have a distinct preference for northwest beers.
Shiner, Fat Tire and Sierra Nevada when necessary. Really don't rate them very high.
Guinness for the road - it's low alcohol.

They have it in stock at the liquor store on McGregor Blvd/San Carlos in the same mall as Big Lots.

Personally I think Boddingtons doesn't travel well at all, mind you I haven't been able to stomache it since I worked next to the brewery not the best smell with your breakfast. I buy Windmill beer from Winn Dixie very cheap imported Dutch stuff nice tasting to. Bit hot down here for the winter ales anyone had any Dogs Bollocks?

Re: American Beer
For some strange reason, Sam Adams in terminal B at Newark near the gate that the Virgin flights go from is really, really good. We've tried it in other parts of that terminal and the other terminals and nothing comes close. In fact, it's pretty undrinkable everywhere else full stop.
It's really bizarre but we do look forward to traveling back to England even more now.

However, the stuff I have found is a direct import from Copenhagen and from what I remember it has the same flavour and same effect as that I drank in the 80s.
