I do remember many decades ago, and when living in Southampton, that one
of the UK breweries producing a popular lager was on strike, or maybe
had production problems. The same brand was imported from the continent
and distributed to the surrounding pubs. Regular drinker of that lager
complained that it was off whereas in reality the "UK brewed under
licence" variant was nothing like its continental parent and just tasted
very different - and the same as I had tasted when abroad.

The Guinness drinkers I knew said the product brewed in Park Royal was
nowhere near as good as the Dublin brew.
