A very good and tasty lager imported from Samoa

 

United States of America

Didn't have long enough here to taste much U.S. beer (and anyway Bud****er is not worthy of inclusion on any page about beers).

   Beer store in San Francisco   However one store on Fishermans Wharf,
San Francisco had such a huge range
of beers from around the world,
that a couple of photos cannot
really do it justice ...
