That generic, descriptive label doesn't mean a damn thing about the origin 
of the brew. It's a class.

Check Ratebeer.com

and see how many "Belgian" "English", "German", and even "India Pale Ale"s are 
actually from the named country.
"American Lager" is just a style category. 

OTOH, Mexico is in "America" on my Atlas... ;-)
... Although I have seen debate on whether it's North America or "Central" 
America, I think it's pretty clearly the continent of North America. :-B

FWIW - I would also think of Corona Cerveza as a Mexican beer.
