The brand changed hands several times over the decades and is now produced at the MillerCoors facility in Irwindale, California. Hamm's Premium uses a double mash process — a technique where a concentrated base beer is brewed at higher gravity and then diluted upon packaging, a standard method for American-style pilsners that yields roughly six gallons of finished beer from every five gallons of base. The ingredient list is straightforward: water, barley malt, corn syrup (maltose) as an adjunct fermentable, hops, and yeast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subtle malty sweetness opens up first, followed by gentle grassy and floral hop notes.
