So does the water at AB when combined with barley, hops and yeast have some magical quality that makes it less capable of producing beer than say someone in North Carolina?

Do the laws of physics cease to exist at the AB brewery?


Nothing to do with magic. AB is producing beer that will make them lots of money, as opposed to producing a more quality product.

So you dont think that the economies and science and technology employed by AB have nothing to do with profitability.

Supply chain, distribution, and efficiency make AB a ton of money.

Also, I am pretty certain that the minute you put a label on and market your beer, you are trying to turn a profit. Yes it is quaint, yes it is fun.

Dude, seriously...my cousin Vinny. Were they magic grits?

My point is that to disregard the fact that AB could produce a quality product with all of their obvious advantages is kinda strange to me.

Maybe he's trying to say that the big boys could make good beers if they choose to. Just because it comes from AB doesn't mean it has to be bad.

What is so fricking hard to understand about this statement:

The My Cousin Vinny reference was goofy, but no need to be a cock.

Of course they could. They just don't because there's more profit margin in brewing adjunct lagers, and they put their money towards marketing instead.

This is the correct answer. I would wager that 90% of the people that prefer Bud Light to miller or coors, couldn't tell the difference between the 3. The only thing that sways them is "them damn Hi-larious commercials"
