The Black and Tan is great. It's like real ales in England.

I think that Florida is one of those states with a low permitted alcohol level for draught beers, which would then probably be where the (semi-)myth of American beers in Britain being stronger than in the US came from.

unsurprisingly its the same in the UK.
Funny thing is can't find any mention of chemicals.

Sam Adams is like nectar in draught.
While in Kennebunk, Maine, we stopped at a restaurant called Federal Jacks. They had a plethora of microbrews at great prices ($3.50 a pint), that included brown ales, stouts and beers. The owner of the restaraunt is apparently British, hence the heavy focus on quality beer.
I had a great time there
