To be honest, the beers I've seen most across-the-pond traveling CA'ers drink here in the States has been crap like IceHouse, Natural Lite and other assorted wee wee.  I once saw someone drink 2 of them during Sebring!

Hi Dave,

 Paddy,
         I can not believe you have had real Labbatt Blue ::) Canada's answer to nat's piss. I think Fax likes it though, which is still a mystery to me.

Sam Adams and Yuengling are safe bets for the British - as they kinda resemble British beer in taste and colour/consistency.
I'm with Dave H - Guinness is an ideal track beer that you can get a decent buzz from - and it won't injure you, just as long as you keep it nice and cold.
Labatts? Are you guys totally nuts? It's the most hideous chemical monstrosity - and delivers the most stinging hang-overs - no way, no day.
In fairness, you can get most canned/bottled beers at local FL Supermarkets (Publix) or the local ABC Liquor Store. So if you hanker for Boddies or Tets, Fullers or Wife-Beater, Hienie or Molson - it's all here - we're not in the third world, you know....
I'm not a fan of Lite beer - but in mitigation, I feel that there is nothing wrong with Michelob, Bud or MGD either. 

I personally do not think that Labatt's is hideous, it sort of resembles the taste of some stronger tasting pilseners here in Holland. But I do have to agree with the hangover argument. Molson I like, specially the dry, not so much the Ice version.

We will probably drink Sam Adams anyway and maybe for Paddy some Heinies. Or Grolsch, as long as it is not amstel lite, bud, budweezer, rolling rock or any sort of lite beer, we'll save those for the girls.
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

Er... my favourite beer is .... er... vodka... but I do not mind partaking in the odd Sammy or even and occasional bottle of blond stuff as long as it is cool.

Our top "decent" beer here in California is Sierra Nevada, which has proven very palatable to Brits like myself. Since they're now owned by Budweiser you might find it on the East Coast, and if you do it's a hell of a lot better than Sam Adams.

At the Orlando airport, your last chance to get a nice beer



This what Camera says about it
Quote
Odder still, the Florida brewery is in the ticketing and check-in area of Orlando International Airport. It is among the perfume, book and souvenir shops where passengers in moving walkways glide between the "people-mover" trains and the airport's Hyatt Hotel.


The brewhouse is clearly visible, in shop-like premises, behind glass. Next door is a bar serving half a dozen Shipyard beers, including the beautifully-rounded Old Thumper, the dry-hopped Fuggles IPA (5.75 abv) and a charcoaly but smooth stout (5 abv). Five other bars at the airport and one in the Hyatt each serve a couple of the Shipyard beers: often Old Thumper and a lighter, crisper, drier, perfumy, Export Ale (5.1 abv). There are about 30 Shipyard taps elsewhere in Florida, including one or two at the airport of the more northerly major city of Jacksonville
If you're going through hell, keep going.

^ I could certainly be mistaken, but I don't think that's there anymore.  I started flying in and out of Orlando in 2004 and don't remember seeing it.  If there's anything that would snap me out of my usual haze, that'd be it.  ;D
