macrobreweries
Large-scale beer factories
Macrobreweries are large-scale beer producers that manufacture and distribute nationally or internationally—companies like Anheuser-Busch, Miller, and Coors.
The term emerged alongside the craft beer movement as a way to distinguish industrial brewing operations from smaller microbreweries and brewpubs: Craft beer enthusiasts often dismiss macrobreweries as producing bland, homogeneous lagers.
