Checked a 6-pack today...it's imported from you guys

Taste, like comfort and intelligence, is a subjective matter, and IMO arguing which beer is best makes about as much sense as arguing which oil is best.
It is subjective...

There was no argument about the best beer here.

Taste is of course subjective, but weak weasel[censored] that leaves the lingering aftertaste of what might be dead rat isn't premium by any standard.

I can't get use to Guiness or Fosters. Just something about it that doesn't taste well. Mind you, I'm a homebrewer and DO NOT like the BMC [censored]. IF I had to buy a domestic brew, it would be Michelob lager. Not too bad, but not a lot of mouth feel and pretty watery. I'm a big wheat/hefe fan.

It maybe but, it does not mean people consume it. I went to bars in Asia and they usually sell Asian domestic. You have to remember almost any Asian country taxes the [censored] out of any imports to 4 times and on up of the value here. Bounty paper towels in China cost 4 to 5 times than here. Rite-Aid, CVS, and Walgreens, and any other local drugstore stuff you find here and exported there is considered premium but, not necessarily popular. It's just expensive. Makes you wonder, how much do Asians pay for Tiger Palm?-a nickel. I heard Saudis use to pay a quarter/liter or gallon for Premium Unleaded in their home country. Now, they pay 75cents due, to demand and increasing costs.

In Canada, I believe Budweiser is rated in the same category as equine urine ...

I once had Budwaiser in Europe. It was very good, I'm not sure but I don't think it was American Budwaiser. It had pinkish label and cap, I think it was real Checz Bud. I don't think mainstream American beer like Miller and Bud will pass as a premium beer in Europe. I doubt they will even buy that stuff, unless they changed it more towards local liking(which usualy the case). I know that non-american Coca-Cola and Pepsi products taste way better and different than their american versions.
