Too many to name
It's ultimately a personal and subjective choice; there's no single "best" imported beer any more than there's a single agreed-upon-by-everyone "best" food.
Even individually, what's "best" at any one moment is going to change with the situation. Is it summer or winter? Having a beer by itself or with food? What kind of food is on the menu?

Best import beer? depends on type. That's like asking what the best wine is.
As far as best beer in the USA? It is, hands down, Three Floyds Gumball Head. It's my go-to beer for almost any occasion. However, like the above question, it depends on variety.

I really like Trumer Pils. It is an Austrian Pilsner. They built a brauerei in Berkeley and the stuff sold in the US comes from there. I think it tastes better because it is brewed locally and is fresher by the time I get it.
2nd- Czechvar (Also known as Budvar or Budwiser in other parts of the world.)

+1. Any beer cutting it up since 1615 is OK in my book and the cool bottle. Mostly, it tastes good. ^

Why is Newcastle draught available almost everywhere? IMO it's one of the most disgusting beers ever, I don't know anyone who drinks it in the UK either. There are much better brown ales out there too.
I guess on my next trip I'll be seeing White Lightning cider available too.
