Wifebeater will always be Wifebeater, no matter what fancy tag they give it.

Pasteurised, generic, InBev beers all largely taste the same.

Beer, like wine, whisky or Cognac should reflect its place of origin and the local traditions which created it.
The best ale comes from England, the best abbey beers come from Belgium and the best Pilsner style beers (on which generic global 'lagers' are based)come from the Czech Republic and Germany.
If 'lager' is your preferred style of beer, I recommend the following :
Pilsner Urquell
Budweiser Budvar (NOT the tasteless American rubbish!)
Warsteiner
Staropramen
Rothaus (my personal favourite).
Urquell or Staro for a daily drinker for me The best ale comes from England, the best abbey beers come from Belgium and the best Pilsner style beers (on which generic global 'lagers' are based)come from the Czech Republic and Germany.

Always had those for a few years so I've been trying something new recently, really enjoyed Paulaner & Franziskaner hefe weiss (bought quite a few of the latter as it's still on offer in Tesco I think they've stocked Weihenstephaner also which is supposed to be fantastic, although I've never seen it). I'd like to try the Kristall-weizens which sound like a subtler flavour without the yeast, even Beers of Europe never seem to have any in stock though . Must try to get hold of some Paulaner, Spaten and Augustiner helles too.

I love Sam Adams-I got hooked on it when I was in Boston about 8 years ago. Availability is getting a bit better for the standard variant but it's nigh on impossible to get any of the seasonal variants in the UK-Sam Adams Summer Ale does pop up every now and again (I've got 4 bottles left!). It's a shame Sam Adams is not sold on tap anywhere in the UK (not that I know of anyway). Tesco does stock it and dependent on what branch you go into, they can have a decent selection of other US Ales/lagers-why Budweiser is as popular as it is, I'll never know....
Sam Adams gets my vote too. I'm down to my last crate from Aldi as they used to stock it every July for their Independence Day range.Sheperd Neame used to import it but they have now started to brew it under licence in the UK so I'm presuming this is what Tesco have started to stock as I found it hard to find till recently.

Who stocks the Summer Ale over here?
another plus 1 for the lidl perlenbecher pils, very nice drop.
Any lager fiends in/visiting london get over to belgo though... managed to sample about 6 on the last visit then went to a late gig in camden... oh dear me. Even the girlfriend was delighted with the gluten-free lager, says it's the best she's ever drank.
