You can get divided formulas, formulas based on particular grains, specially aged and filtered concentrates, obscure classical types that you mix at home from recipes found on the internet etc etc My recommendations: For easy use and no fuss, some of the barley based formulas with hops additives are satisfying, with those of German and Belgium origin praise worthy. I have never got excited regarding any of the American offerings (excepting some of the concentrates from Tennessee etc). Australia does have a number of boutique producers that rival the European products for the barley based types. In general the European and Australian formulas for these are less diluted than those from USA. On the other hand France does have quite a number of excellent, though expensive grape based formulas. Finally, for those important occasions, Scotland has the very best magnificent concentrates.
