 Nerd stuff, but worth considering. Unsure how miller fits in, although generally less filtered beers were better for you. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/nutrition/six-beers-that-are-good-for-your-gut-health-and-the-ones-to-avoid/ar-AA1gbaOj?rc=1&ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=a7c2ad8502294d308c5c6dba248d46ba&ei=19. 🙌 
 It will be pasteurised, filtered and force carbonated. All the major commercial lagers are as dead as a dodo.

 Anything you see in the pub which is hand pulled will be living because it's coming from a cask not a keg. If it's coming from a tap that's pressurised it coming from a keg (that can either be pasteurised or not). 
Once you tap the cask it's exposed to the elements so you need it to be alive or it will go off remarkably quickly and you can't hand pump a sealed container so you so you know it's coming from a cask.

Likewise if you have seen something that comes from a hand pulled tap in the pub it's extremely unlikely they would choose to pasteurise it when they put it in bottles....because why would you.. So you can assume that's living and if you see a Camra logo or the words bottle conditioned you know it's going to have some live yeast when they bottled it. 
 If there no good beer shit the next day, you’re doing your body a disservice!!!! 🫡 
 You get lactic acid bacteria in wine and cider when you mature it. If you drink kefir after a heavy night usually you feel much better and that's full of labs and and yeast too. Going have to see if it's in beer too.... persumably it is,  especially if it's coming from a bottle because it lasts longer in a crown capped bottle.

 Definitely feel a difference the next day between the living and pasteurised mass produced stuff.
