Which beers are we talking about here?
Many of the big name global beers like Heiniken, Asahi, Corona, Millers, etc. are brewed all over the world in regional hubs.

Yep they certainly do, it’s also funny people say the imported stuff is better than the ones brewed here, when you consider the stuff that’s imported is months old. A few companies have had complaints when they have switched over to supply of kegs to Australian brewed ones because it tastes different, of course it’s fresh.

The locally brewed heiniken is awful.
It's also got a bit to do with different water quality.
A mate of mine used to work at Tooheys, and when they started making XXXX in Sydney instead of trucking it down from QLD, they recorded a dip in sales because it didn't taste the same. Once they worked out what to put in the brewing water to get the taste back close to the QLD stuff the sales kicked off again.

I love the science behind adjusting the water to replicate beer from a specific region. Even homebrewers can tinker with water profiles.

Yeah water is a big part of the issue, some of the beer that comes out of China is woeful.

Probably explains why most South and Western Australian beers are shit too....

Fixed.
Beer is brewed using distilled or RO water with the relevant salts added to the water to achieve the right water profile, which ensures consistency across batches. Even homebrewers do this.
If there is a difference in taste, it's a QC issue, nothing else

Definitely not always. Sometimes the local water is suitable for use or the brewery doesn't have the process in place to do otherwise. I think adding minerals is fairly common by breweries but starting from Rain or RO sourced is probably only used rarely.

That's a lot of beers you smear @The Duckmeister. I fix the import problem by mostly sticking to the IBA seal.

MAYBE in the craft breweries...
The centrifugal separators (to clarify the brew) CUB, Castlemaine Perkins, Tooheys are using, process around 30,000 litres an hour and on average these breweries have 2 machines running around the clock.
I'd hate to see the price of their commercial beers if they were using distilled water.

Sorry , I’ve been bloody working and it makes my brainzzzz tired - the 2 beers that were mentioned to me were Sapporo and asahi in bottles specifically the smaller ones .
But the 500 ml cans are Japan manufactured.
The stat I read was Orion makes 65 % of the beer in Okinawa , for 3 % of the population .
I was trying to find the source on internets but my google’ fu has failed me
