Alcohol industry insider here with a huge red pill. Most macro brew beer is brewed at random distilleries in various countries. For example a brewery might say Budweiser on the outside but they brew Miller, etc inside. The reason for this is to have cheaper shipping costs. If you travel between Canada and USA and drink American brands leaf side they taste different. And Canadian brands like Molson labbatt etc taste different stateside (much worse too). It also varies by water quality in the state/province (al Keith is disgusting made in Ontario)
