Doesn't Budweiser traditionally have multiple breweries around the US (and evidently world), and then have people who travel between them to continually do testing to make sure that they manage to taste the same?

At least I thought I read something like that. Certainly, brewing locally makes a lot more sense than shipping liquids around.

But really only reasonable to brew locally if one can sell enough to justify it.

But okay, probably more Budweiser than other things. I'm kinda wondering if I could get a Miller Light here, or random craft brews that really did get shipped over.

....but not wondering enough to go shopping, as I'm bad enough with buying more wine and gin than I will get remotely close to finishing.
