Answers.Text: What you wrote is true but doesn't accurately answer the question. Usually when the same company has numerous breweries/factories, it uses the same methods and ingredients for manufacturing and moving its products. The only thing that is different is the water. This is also the reason why certain beverages taste different in each country. Take Coca-Cola for example - the formula is exactly the same everywhere but the water is different in each country. This is the reason why the taste is a bit different in each country.

Comments.Text: You need to narrow your question down. You say "draught" beer? Which brand? Is it all the same brand or different brands? There are also different styles of beer. I am going to vote to close this question unless this is cleared up.
