Hey! You guys haven't tried REAL beers from the US! Dead Guy, Polygamy Porter, Bitch Creek, Moose Drool, Fat Tire, Firehouse, Cutthroat, Sam Adams Winter, Midnight Satin, Alaskan Amber...to name but a very few.

I have a tankard of "new" pewter -- haven't used it in years. I drink from glass, either as a bottle, a mug, or a glass.

(Beer mugs are good -- when the fight starts you can smash the cylinder part and you have a handy set of glass knuckles.)
