   The Simon & Schuster Pocket Guide to Beer (aka the Michael Jackson
   Pocket Guide) only mentions one by name, _Tusker_, which he gives
   two stars.  "A super-premium...lager, much more aromatic and hoppy
   than the usual domestic products...".  Note that "domestic" refers
   to Kenya, and "super-premium" is strictly a marketing term.

I don't know what this guide means by two stars, but Tusker is indeed
an excellent beer. Aromatic and hoppy sounds right. A place I used to
go to a lot in LA featured it, and rightly so. If Ms. Iannacone can
find some, I'm sure her friend will be delighted. Or if he's not, I'll
be happy to take it off her hands....
