You're confusing bad beers
"It's the water" was the tagline for Tumwater, Washington's finest brew (their best was never any too good), "Olympia" beer. It's been years since I've seen any for sale, but apparently the brand is extant rather than extinct, even though, as the hometown newspaper puts it, "The label still reads 'It's the water.' But it's the water of Trenton, Ohio, Irwindale, Calif., and Fort Worth, Texas, depending on which region of the country drinkers tip one back."
Still, my old man (AKA "Der Alte") spent his formative years in St Louis, and he's always been one to get his knickers in a twist at the slightest provocation, so perhaps there's something to your theory.

Re: You're confusing bad beers
That's typical - your old man and the water. Coors comes from beneath a mesa outside Golden - there are no leprechauns with buckets collecting pure mountain runoff..and Stroh's comes from the Detroit River. Ugh.
Actually, at least some A/B product water (at least for local brew) comes from deep artesian wells in the limestone around here (once this place was the bottom of an ocean), and is medically pure.

Try another one
deSitter would have us believe, anent the operations of the Coors Brewery, that there are no leprechauns with buckets collecting pure mountain runoff —I suppose next you'll be telling us that getting drunk and rowdy on Coors Lite won't turn us into babe magnets? No pneumatic twins licking their lips suggestively and running their exquisitely-manicured nails lightly along our inner thighs? Fie! This man is watching teevee with the wrong attitude. Take his name.

Actually...
..us easterners get our pure rocky mtn watered down coors light reconstituted from pure appalachian spring water and "beer concentrate" sent in shiny stainless steel railcars.

That was "Rainier" beer.
And yes, it was golden piss that was mistaken for beer.
Company sold out to one of the big companies, then finally shut down a couple years back.

Thanks.
I have to admit, I stole it from somebody on /. though.
