My guess: They mash longer for extra fermentability.

My favorite was the line in the beer commercials on TV back in the '70's and early '80's when the guy takes a swig of beer and then says: "You know? it doesn't get any better than this."  I think it was Michelob or some thing like that.
Maybe back then that was the best, but thank goodness it isn't now  8)

You can sell just about anything if you hype it right.

I remember that being Coors and it turns out it was Old Milwaukee!

I love the recent Miller Lite bottle with the spiral twisties in the neck to make it pour faster/smoother or whatever.  My opinion, when you have to rely on the packaging to sell your product, your products crap!

Edit:  I forgot to mention Molson M - the world's first "micro-carbonated" beer.  Apparently the bubbles were just too big for some people...

I loved Rainier's ads. I drank a lot of that back in the dark ages called the 1980s/early 90s in Utah

Utah sells booze? I was there in 2005 and had a hard time even finding coffee, let alone anything stronger.

I used to brew longer.  Then I learned what I was doing and got several hours back from my brew day.

Now if we could only do something about people who think judge longer is a good thing...

I remember "double krausening" from beer commercials in the past. I don't remember which of the big 3 made that claim.

Perhaps you're thinking of Old Style.  "Twice brewed and fully krauesened." Once for taste, once for smoothness.

Supposedly, the current formula is once again krauesened. 

Thats the one.
