Ad Age: does it matter where your beer is made?

As far as I know, any beer can be duplicated anywhere in the world given that water profile is accurate.
I didn’t realize that City had gotten the contract for Red Stripe.
A customer was telling me how Fosters was the best beer in the world and that a good beer can not be made in the US….despite the obvious here, I pointed out to him that the can of Fosters say’s it is brewed in Ft. Worth, TX….wow did he get mad at me!

I really like Carlsberg. I wish they would lower the price though. It used to be made in Canada, but now it is imported with an imported price.
