I agree; best US beers are microbrews or regional specialties. Mass produced/marketed 'local' or microbrewed beers haven't done well outside the US if they even bothered to compete.

Lagunitas (Calif), Abita (Deep South/Louisiana) and Yuengling (PA and surrounding areas) are three off the top of my head that come to mind.

I do like Sam Adams and it's marketed around the US but I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't even compete in Canada.
