Don't get too worried, folks. If you go to an English pub, you won't have to drink American beer too often, if at all.

Lager-style beers are popular here, but the biggest sellers (by a long way) are Stella Artois & Kronenberg, which are European. You can get American beers on tap in the occasional pub....Bud/Miller usually. I've seen Coors once or twice, but didn't try it as I'm not a member of the KKK. Australian stuff like Fosters is also popular.
Tikifish, you'll be please to know Labatts makes an appearance in a few pubs too! Of course, virtually all these are actually brewed here under licence and bear little relation to what you'd get at home.

Proper British ale served at room temperature is actually starting to gain popularity again, and this will be boosted by a halving of tax on beer made by small breweries, announced a few weeks ago. When you see how much beer tax we pay, you'll realise this is incredibly good news for real beer lovers.

Guinness is in virtually every pub, of course.
