Domestic beer?
Submitted by Shadow on November 26, 2008 - 12:13pm.

Went out the other night after work with two co-workers, and all of us decided to have beer.
A tap beer.
On special that night was "domestic tap beer", consisting mostly of Miller products.
Along with the Miller taps, there were at least 5 other beers on tap also made in the U.S.A. but not considered domestic.
Why does an establishment refuse to call anything but watered down beer domestic, when almost all of it is made in this country, probably most of it in the state next to us?

Back to page topThat's a good question.
Why isn't Leinenkugel's considered "domestic." Is Wisconsin really a different country, as I've been told.
The "domestic" label seems rather arbitrary.

Went to a "Hippie Bar" just outside of Blacksburg Virginia a couple years back.
I asked the bar tender for a Heineken.
He said they didn't carry Heineken.
I asked what foreign beers they served.
He replied, "Michelob".
Being in Virginia and knowing Michelob was brewed in Williamsburg Virginia, I asked, "What makes Michelob a foreign beer?"
He replied with a straight face, "It costs 25 cents more".
NOTE: The "Hippie Bar" was so defined by a local "Information Center" attendant who thought I wouldn't want to go in wearing business attire. I responded that I used to be a "hippie" so it wouldn't be a problem. The "Hippie Bar" actually turned out to be a biker bar....lol.
