I Tasted Macro and Craft Lagers Side by Side. My Top 3 Might Surprise You

Craft beer exists because 1970s- and 1980s-era beer lovers were bored with the selection in the United States. Faced with Budweiser, Miller, and Coors and their streamlined, watery and light products, home brewers began making bitter English and funky Belgian ales that they enjoyed while traveling. Many then opened breweries, and an industry built on variety was born. 

It perplexed many longtime fans when, in recent years, craft breweries started producing macro-like lagers, with adjuncts like rice and corn.
