Unfortunately Murphy's Stout is not easy to find even in Texas.
I know because I always ask for it before I settle for a Half & Half. Guiness is ok for a single pint, but after that its either Murphys or I have to switch to Harps.

Suntory STRAIGHT - w00t for one of the most drinkable beers going. I have one on the go as I type this. This absolutly rocks over Stella/Kron and is 6%, with a great colour and even better taste. American beers pale away when compared to this superior brew. Suntory have got this one spot on and I would bet anyone serious money in a blind test that this beer would come out on top. This is a drinkers drink and is ranked by me in the top 3 canned brews. Average price per 500ml can ¥178, best price ¥156.

I have only had Suntory once or twice (availability issue here), but I recall liking it or I wouldn't have recalled the brand. Just don't know whether it was that brew or not.
Higher alcohol content in beers makes me a bit leary. Old Nick in Canada is higher volume than in the U.S. (7.5%) and I got blind-sided by it one night.
