No no no no no.
Ireland yes, UK no. It may be on in every pub but it's by no means the UK's national beer.
Bitter tends to be regional, but something like Carling (lager) is probably the closest you'll get to a national beer. Lager tend to be national, bitter (and/or "real ale") local.

NO noooooow
Carling Black Label ( Carling O'keefe ) was a Canadian Import now Brewed under Licence not British at all.
British beers are all regional the closest to a national would have to be Whitbread Trophy or in the old days before Campaign for real ale Watneys Red Barrel or Double Diamond.
The Brits in the Seventies all flocked to Spain for their hols to drink draught Watneys Red Barrel.
before Lager Louts.

You would be correct, she is a kiwi, but when kiwi entertainers do a few gigs in Oz, Australia likes to claim them as their own, just like crowded house, dragon .......

When you think of exported brands, i.e. overseas opinions: Guinness is to Ireland what Fosters is to Australia.
I think Frank Zappa said, "You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer".

The why the hell is she so damn sentimental about Australia Day ? Stoopid blonde.
The Datsuns have never claimed to be Australian.
And Hollywood turned him into a bonehead & a thug. Or maybe that was the South Sydney Football Club
