This is why I need to move to the other side of the Atlantic -- far better beer selection, it seems.
Not especially - ASDA carries the same 30-35 bottled ales that they sell all the time. Managed to pick up two bottles of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale though. And Aldi have started selling 500ml bottles of Theakston's Old Peculier (5.6%) for £1.49 - around US$2.40 - each. I'll have to put some in the fridge now - thanks for reminding me!

Went to a liquor store earlier, and the selection consisted of the same domestic stock everyone else carries.
So you don't have the regionally produced ales from microbreweries then?

We have Pabst Blue Ribbon here, but I think I'd rather drink contaminated water.
You won't believe me, but I've actually
had Pabst Blue Ribbon! I bought an imported bottle of the stuff of a UK specialist beer website!
My photo taken at the time:
It's an extremely basic and tasteless lager but at least it is not actively unpleasant as quite a few UK produced lagers are.
