Beer? I stopped drinking beer years ago. Cut to the chase boys. Whisky burns clean, doesn't fill you up, and you can generally wake up the next morning without feeling you have a bowling ball in your stomach and someone banging on your head.
However..any beer NOT brewed in the US is better than ANY beer brewed in the US. The un-cut stuff from down under, VB Bitter or Molson Canadien brewed in Canada would be my choice of beers..if Whisky wasn't available.
