macrobrewers
Large-scale beer companies
Macrobrewers are large-scale beer producers—companies like Anheuser-Busch, Miller, and Coors that dominate global markets with mass-produced lagers.
The term emerged alongside the craft beer movement as a contrast to microbreweries and their small-batch, artisanal approach: Craft enthusiasts dismiss macrobrewers as prioritizing volume over flavor.
