According to the Busch brewery in Jacksonville, neither Mr. Anheuser nor
Mr. Busch were brewers.   One was a businessman, the other a salesman of
equipment to breweries. 

Their goal was to create a single beer that 

        - would offend the fewest number of people
        - hence could be brewed in the largest quantities, and shipped
        over large distances by rail. 
        - to maximize economies of scale. 
        

Hence the "beechwood aging" to remove ...... taste. 


OTOH, Guiness managed to brew strong beers which they distributed via
ship.
