Indeed, the local beers I drank with Mike were excellent. In general, I find
many of the beers from smaller North American breweries very good. There is a
shop in Benidorm where I occasionally buy Sierra Nevada and some other US
beers. In the normal supermarkets here, we have a decent selection of German
and Belgian beer, as well as Czech, Polish, and other Eastern European. For
some strange reason, some of them also carry the fake Budweiser; since we do
not get many American tourists here in Alicante, I think this is meant as a
curiosity, kind of like the Indian or Japanese beer that is also commonly found.
Cheers,
