San Miguel (in the Philippines) was my absolute favorite beer; closely followed by San Miguel (in Hong Kong) and Swan Lager (in Perth, Western Australia). NOTE: I have never tried the "Light" nor "Apple Flavored" San Miguel (shown in the image). To tell you the truth, the thought of apple flavored beer gives me the shudders.
Where did I rate the U.S.A. beers? Honestly, pretty darn far down on the ladder of taste quality.
IMO, the worst beers in the world are Ba Mui Ba (Beer "33" from Vietnam) and Biera Peroni (from Italy). Additionally, French beer wasn't much to talk about and usually gave me a headache.
Some Japanese beers are O.K. and German beer was generally pretty darn good but could not come up to either San Miguel or Swan Lager in their native environments. Unfortunately, IMO, neither San Miguel nor Swan Lager travels very well. The German beers have a bit of an edge when transported.
I liked Hennekin quite well and Guiness Stout is great!
The strongest beer was in Singh Thai (I think that was the name - it is still pretty fuzzy) in Bangkok Thailand...
