Lowenbrau tastes a lot better when brewed in Munich than when brewed in Waxahachie under license to the Miller Brewing Co. I wonder why.

Probably the beer purity laws that they have in Germany and homoginization (that thing they do to milk). There are all sorts of rules and regulations regarding the production of beer. In Germany they are a good thing, nothing but the freshest and best ingredients, no preservatives, no chemical additives, just water, hops, barley, and a bit of sugar. In America, they are a bad thing. Chemicals and preservatives are OK and in some ways encouraged. We also have to overcook and sterilize the beer.
A Guinness here is very different from a Guinness elsewhere. I've heard that Heineken is very good outside of the country. Maybe their recipe doesn't cope well with the American rules and regulations.
