A good source of information is The Campaign for Real Ale ( CAMRA) in the UK. Bitter beer is produced in other countries, but is less popular than Lager beer or Stout beer (an example of which is Guinness). In particular, consumers in the United States show very little demand for bitter beer; advertisements for a brand of lager beer bill the product as a "never bitter beer".

Several popular Australian lagers are erroneously branded "bitter" (notably Victoria Bitter) to the derision of visiting Britons.
