Years ago in the US, a friend who knew I drank Guinness gave me a case

Albeit a few years ago, but long after the demise of Watneys as a
brewing entity, I read some good reviews about US Watneys Red Barrel
I believe it was sold in at least one Disney theme park, possibly in an
"English" pub.

At one time, or perhaps still, brand or beer names are just used to
badge locally brewed beer irrespective if there was any taste connection
with the original.
