It's not easy. A local brewery couldn't produce for a year while they moved facilities. They did contract brewing in another state and were constantly testing the water here, sending equipment to condition the water in the other state, flying brewers back and forth, and it NEVER tasted anywhere near right no matter how many times they tried. While I love craft beer, I admit I don't have the most sophisticated palette, but it was immediately obvious when I tasted different samples of what was allegedly the same beer. My tastings started when I asked, unprompted, "Hey, why does <beer> taste so weird today?"
