I looked at the history on the page and it seems that ingredients edit has been going on for months and months. It’s comical in a way like the “tastes great, less filling” argument goes on and on. The problem as I see it is that Miller isn’t coming out with an ingredients list saying “only water, hops, barley and yeast.” After we did the show I thought long and hard about how you could actually make “beer” using a manufacturing process. All you have to do to see that it’s possible is look at a product like Zima. In both cases it’s all about quality control and cost reduction.

My bugs bunny face remains for this product no matter how it’s made.

Some guy edited the ingredients list out of the Miller Lite Wikipedia article. He’s some sort of plant because the only edits he’s ever made have been to the Miller Lite article.

Motor and John. Great Episode. As a San Antonian Im excited to hear Motor speak of the old Pearl Brewery. This is the one Motor referred to but couldn’t think of. Here is the wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Brewery

Keep up the great work!

I’ve been going there long enough you’d think I would know that guy. But the Yank is one of those places I go to be invisible. — jf

Ironically, I listened to this show while mowing the lawn today. Great show, guys. Also, please pursue the idea for the Mythbusters show. They are definitely beer fans, as they have featured it during many experiments. They learned that sticking a six-pack in a salt-water & ice combination will chill it in five minutes. During the same episode, they also consulted the bartender in the Connecticut Yankee, a bar you may know.
Keep up the awesome work!
