Pabst Brands?

Miller makes *most* of them- others are from City Brewing (McSorley's and maybe Special Export?) and The Lion (forgot which), last I heard.

Why not? *In theory*, every batch of beer could be of a different recipe- different grains, malt/adjunct ratio, different hops and hoping rates, different temperatures, different yeast, all from the same brew kettle at different times. One would also think that certain "regional" brands might be made in one Miller brewery (Lone Star and Pearl in Fort Worth, Lucky & Rainier in California, etc), others elsewhere.

(I don't know- do the Pabst labels mention the city of origin? The only one I buy is Ballantine Ale and that says "Falstaff Brewing Company, PO Box 739, Milwaukee, WI 53201" even tho' Pabst is long gone from Milwaukee. Last I heard Bally's coming out of Miller's Eden, NC but maybe the address is Miller's?)

Probably- but who would care (or be able to notice) if their Schaefer was the same beer as their brother's-in-law National Bohemian or their son's Pabst?

Those beers were never all that different to start with, but my taste buds tell me that they are even less deferent that the used to be. I would say they all use the same yeast these days and only slightly different recipes.
