Is the original Amer Picon no longer produced, and replaced by the Biere and Club versions? If so, which is the better one to get for cocktails such as the Brooklyn?

Biere and Club versions are slightly different animals. If you can't obtain Amer Picon (best sourced from Belgium online shops) then I suggest you use a 50:50 blend of Bigallet China-China and French-made Dubonnet Red (I've not tried with the USA version of Dubonnet).
