macrobrewery

Large-scale beer producer

A macrobrewery is a large-scale commercial brewery producing beer in high volumes for wide distribution—companies like Anheuser-Busch or Miller.

The term emerged as a contrast to microbrewery and craft brewery, often carrying a slightly dismissive tone: I prefer local IPAs to macrobrewery lagers.
