I spent three weeks there, very fun and a lot to see, but I went with a bunch of chicks so we spent more time searching the geisha districts than we did for beer...
Most everything I tried was similar to American, though Sapporo was pretty good as was Yebisu. Asahi and Kirin weren't that good.
The cool thing is that they sell beer in vending machines! It's pretty cool to be walking around, stop and grab a beer, walk around some more, grab anotehr beer, and keep going. I think that is what kept me going at some points.
You can find Guinness if you look, but it comes in 12 oz cans. One of the guys I was with lived there for a couple years and said that most Asians lack something or another that process alcohol, so they get trashed off a beer or two, hence the small serving sizes. I dunno if that is fact of if he was messing with me :P.
