I think there is a Simpsons episode where all the different kinds of Duff came out of the same vat!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff_Beer

While Duff Beer comes in several varieties, it is revealed on a Duff Brewery tour in "Duffless" that regular Duff, Duff Light, and Duff Dry are the same beer, although Homer and Barney apparently remain oblivious to the fact.

Truth is often stranger than fiction.
That was a truly hilarious Simpsons episode. And while I don't doubt that anything that comes out of a major brewery is mass produced and shares similarities I think that I could probably tell the difference.

Next time I'm at a pub I'll order a pint of each and I'll try a sip of each, blind. I'm certainly no beer connoisseur but I like to think I'm a pretty knowledgeable beer drinker. We'll see if I can live up to my claim.

Guide: What does the future hold for us? Heh. Let's just say we have
a few ideas up our sleeve.
Homer: Like what?
Guide: Um, I'd rather not get into it right now.
Homer: Why not?
Guide: All right, we don't have any ideas for the future. We got
nothing. Happy?
Homer: [whiny] No.
