I usually fall back on either Newcastle or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
To those who have mentioned Asahi, is it just me, or does the Asahi available in the U.S. (brewed in Canada, I think?) taste nothing like the Asahi sold in Japan? I used to drink it a lot while in Tokyo, but don't really care for it now; I don't know if it really doesn't taste the same, or if I just got used to the taste in Japan.
I've always thought Asahi and Sapporo taste differently if they were brewed in the US or Canada than the ones brewed in Japan. Perhaps it's all psychological, but it certain makes a difference to me. I was shocked recently to find that the tall canned version of Sapporo was brewed in the US. The canned version used to be only from Japan.
