Strange but true, Budweiser is an extremely pure product administered by brewmasters the traditional way, with absolute control over quality. Miller has all sorts of weird chemicals in it (why they’ve fought product labeling, whereas A-B was all for it, because it’s all natural). Trouble is they are both wheat beers instead of traditional hops-heavy European beer.The reason why American beer became wheat beer is Prohibition. Farmers couldn’t grow hops, since you couldn’t grow it for any reason BUT beer, so anyone making beer or near-beer switched to wheat. Prior to Prohibition, A-B made beer like everyone else. It was founded by Germans, after all. A few years ago they even brought back their “original recipe” beer. But if you’re going to drink wheat beer (I don’t drink anything alcoholic, so I have no dogs in this hunt), Bud is better than Miller in terms of quality. I hear Sam Adams beats them hands-down for taste, of course…
