You can see which ones are advertised in America. I never had a Red Stripe but I remember the commercials.  
Note to Worm and Otak ,empties being dropped from far far above. They are reaching terminal velocity because they are dropping so far.

The sad thing on these is that the “winners” are most often the most mundane beers from each country.

Also, for the record:

1. Guinness is NOT an English beer - it’s Irish.
2. Heineken and Grolsch are NOT German beer - they’re both Dutch.
3. Stella Artois is not a French beer - it’s Belgian.
4. Sol is not Spanish - it is Mexican. Most San Miguel is brewed in the Philippines, although there is a Spanish San Miguel brewery.
5. Heineken is not a Belgian beer. It’s Dutch.

and Red Stripe is apparently the new “conch”.

Only two people put Stella down as a French beer, and only two people (each) put down Heineken and Grolsch as German beers, you know.
