Come to think of it, I can't think of a single world famous brand beer from Britain. I'm sure there would be one. Ireland has Guiness, Australia Fosters and the US, Bud. Guiness is stout Fosters is lager Bud is lager The op was asking about British beer ie, ale not lager. Does a beer have to be "world famous" to be excellent? Don't think excellent came into it. Just pointing out that I'd not seen any British beer in France. Certainly not in the centre region. Used see a fair bit in Australia, mainly Bodintons which was reasonably nice. And as I'd been living in Australia for 8 years prior to France, I've just remained in the same mindset as the Aussies and kept calling lager beer, just like the French do. Don't think the word lager exists over there. You'd get some strange looks if you asked for lager anyway. Your Property in France    Report

I looked and looked in the supermarket and in the end bought a bottle of Belgian beer labelled 'bier blonde'. When my husband looked at it he laughed and said I'd bought super lager! Is there such a thing as pale ale in France? If so, what's it called?    Report

Their beers were on sale in Cahors a couple of years ago when I was last there. La Lutine brewery at Limeuil also produces a similar beer but I have not yet tried this so hesitate to recommend it. Not sure how far either of these are distributed into 47. Top fermented French beers can usually be distinguished by the words haute fermentation somewhere on the label. One of the best examples is also my favourite "3 Monts" which I am pleased to see is now quite widely distributed in France; it's sold in 75cl bottles and at 8.5abv so has to be treated with care.
