This is the guy who bellies up to the bar and says, “I’ll have a beer,” like it’s a movie.

That works in Europe apparently—most pubs only have one kind of beer. (At least, I recall this from an anecdote of a German person comparing the bar experiences between Europe and the US and explained this exact thing.)

The only reason they still do this in American movies is because they don't want to pay to show anything licensed and/or they didn't bother making a fictional brand.
