There is a tujonfree absinth comming out in the states (lucid). I dont know if its any good but absinth is something that all of my american friends wanted to try.
When i visited the states i didnt liked the american beer at all. If you can get a hold of german and other european beer in the usa you could get some. there is a huge variety of european beers and if your brother likes beer you should definetly get some.
