Is there a difference? Maybe if the commercial is filtered instead of bottle conditioned...

None. Papazian says there are lots of vitamins in the bottom.

I am soooooooooo going! Hell, I'd go for the name of the restaurant alone. Add the kick ass looking sausages and I'm in!!! [The fact that I'm hungry, about to make dinner (Ma Po Tofu), and 1 amber ale and 1 kolsch (homemade) into a nice buzz, probably doesn't effect my decision to go there or my pos...
