And did you notice which Carlton product is not in my list! Given a choice of Crown or VB, I'll leave the VB.

Contrary to what people here may think, I don't drink a great deal of beer http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif. But when I do, I like it to taste like beer, not something that the neighbour's cat left puddled under the car. When I travel, I like to try different beers and sample the local brews as much as I can, so really do appreciate the growth of micro breweries (or at least the wider availability of their product) in the US in the last few years.

But when I actually purchase beer with my own hard-earned cash (or credit card - must earn those FF points), it tends to be one of the ones I listed above.
