About ten years ago Carling Black Label, made in Canada, was a fashionable beer in Toronto. In the US we considered it on par with Busch -- the cheapest sh*t you could buy to get the job done.

According the the Budweiser site UK bud is brewed in the UK so will use UK water, hops and malts.

PBR actually has less taste than budlite, despite not being a lite beer
it is cheap, but half the people i se swanning around with it are lawyers!

There really is no reason to drink Guinness from a bottle in the first place, but trying to make a black-and-tan from the stuff creates a vile mess. I'm really surprised that the bartender had the courage to serve it. (Of course, I had to tip him...)
