import beer

Overseas brewed lager

Import beer is beer brewed in a foreign country and brought in for sale, as distinguished from domestic beer brewed locally.

The term often carries connotations of premium quality or exotic origin: The bar has a good selection of imports.

In American usage, imports typically means European, Mexican, or Asian beers rather than Canadian, which dominates actual beer imports by volume.
