On a really hot day when your throat is really dry and there are no alternatives they are.

If you had to point it out, that's because you know somebody was going to.
What's a "real" American beer anyway?

The number of breweries is astounding. I happen to like Boatswains Double IPA. For an auslander, you'd probably want some sort of brand name - like Sam Adams. There's an series of Fish Head IPA's. There's Stockyard Oatmeal Stout. If on went to a 'beer distributor', one could spend a very long time just trying to read all the labels.
For me - it's a double delight. I've always liked hoppy beer - and for now at least, it's in fashion. Even if the fashion changes they'll still be around. Long ago, for my thesis, I had Carlsburg Elephant and Gosser Stiftsbrau - such exotica is no longer necessary and easily surpasses.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is as evasive answer as can be.  So, there's no "one American beer" that everybody agrees is universally liked? Or at least a small list of names that get general approval?

Evasive? Perhaps a poor choice of words on your part.
Now as far as popular beers go, they typical American sucks down swill. (coors, bud, etc.). Now if you add to that list Corona (a Mexican beer), you've covered almost every massive gathering and tribal sports event that I've seen.
But - it's a large country and even for swill, there's regional beers ("old style" in Chicago area, "Lone Star" in Northern Mexico, etc.) - there a a few huge brewers and for all I know, they just repackage the same sh*t to make locals feel important.
Nonetheless, good beer is everywhere to be had and without difficulty. And, fortunately for me, my base favorite is even a bit economical once it when from 23oz bottles to 12oz cans.

I was trying to provoke a reaction.

That was my point. I can't name a single American beer that Americans agree is an "obvious choice". You seem to be in agreement with your Coors/Bud comment. And you're right about Corona...and since it's Mexican to begin with, well, it can be ruled out.
"There's no clear winner" is all I was trying to say. I'm admittedly not much of a beer drinker myself, so I'm nobody's yardstick.

It didn't actually provoke a reaction beyond the reference to that line - all you had to do was ask what most of them drink - but remember, most of the are "users" with respect to computers, too, so there's not much to say about them.
Corona, by the way, is not much better than the cheaper domestic swill - just a fashion statement of some sort.
What's great is that one need no longer (1) rely on imports for beer that taste like beer, and (2) good beer's available just about everywhere (at least here, in NYC suburbs).
From my point of view, I was greatly disappointed when I first tasted beer that it was that rich smooth taste that the aroma promised. Well - now it is.
Think of it like coffee: US standard roasts are way too light. Restaurant versions of the same coffee are a bit darker, but still light. I discovered real coffee a long time ago - fortunately, I don't have gourmet tastes, so I'll drink nearly anything - but I typically buy Latin Roasts (in a Latin oriented supermarket) that are really good, and considered a specialty item in that store, quite inexpensive. In fact, today's breakfast include Cafe Caribe (a super deal at 10oz/$1.50 - should have bought more).

Some scenery changes would do me good and also no speed limits.

Nish, if you need to, you can borrow my reading glasses. To quote Deyan Also I hate foreign countries doesn't seem to be a flight anxiety thing at all so Urban Crickets question seems very valid to me.

One anxiety disorder is often combined with others.
"Also I hate foreign countries" - I'm rather reading that as that he's having fear of the unknown, in one or several ways, not necessarily that he hates foreigners as such. (still possible of course, but I wouldn't bet on it)
My wife suffers from anxiety, so I sadly know a bit about it.

Thanks. The aggressive ignorance in this thread is getting a little too high.

Then you shouldn't have popped your head up and show the world your arse.
Maybe it's due to English being a secopnd language but your comment was xenophobic at the least.
But that is only if I give you the benfit of the doubt. I give no one that benefit. Pull your f***ing head in you racist cockknocker.

Never said I'm US born. Otherwise, with this grammar, I would be a little retarded. Was brought here long time ago, after I made some interesting applications in cryptography. From Bulgaria(google it). With an airplane. That's how I first found for my problem with long haul flights. And the last time I was forced to have one, it took near a year to put me together. I'm not going trough this crap again.
