I just was reading how Miller bought Stroh's or at least now brews it.
Perhaps some other owner changes. The thing I was always curious,
Miller was voted best in one of the CR beer taste tests and Stroh's was
deemed bad sulfer tasting, and at the bottom of the list. Well
then came another test, and Stroh's was near the top, and Miller near
the bottom. I can very well understand how changes can be made at the
breweries, but how often do they change. also was curious about that
Great American Beer Festival. In reading their picks, it seems like
they pick something different every year. I remember when IC Light was
best.

I was told that Millers, Bud, etc. can taste different in different
parts of the country because of the local water.
I would think that no matter where it was brewed that they'd clean,
filter and sterize the water in the same manner, thus producing the
same tasting beer.

I'm sure they try. Stoney's used to come from the Youghiogheny River now
comes from the Allegheny, as well as Sam Adams used
to come from the Allegheny river, and Rolling Rock sure better
get their act together there in NJ.

I drink my water from the Monongahela River, oh my.

Last I heard Coors all came from Colorado?

"clean, filter and sterilize" ? The issue is not bacterial contamination
(since wort is then boiled...) but the mineral contents ("hardness" or
"softness") of water, which has an influence on the way bittterness
develops. But even that can be standardised easily enough, for an
industrial brewery at least.

If I recall, its rehydrated in 2 plants (East and South regions), plus
Golden, where its actually brewed and packaged.

I've always liked Stroh's, and Miller Lite. Although I prefer REAL beers,
these are good for certain times. But they are different.

If you took a poll of all Americans, they would likely say that Bud is the
best tasting beer, which of course is poppycock!

Doesn't Coor's have a huge brewery in Memphis, TN?

Not any longer, apparently (built by Schlitz, taken over by Stroh and
later bought by Coors), but if you've got a good credit line...
