I do not give my money to juggernauts like InBev because they care more about the profits than the product
I remember reading an article in the '90's about craft beer. Ingredient cost for craft beer from a regional brewer was 1.5 cents higher per 12 oz bottle than for macro beer. It makes me wonder what "craft" beer would cost if it was actually brewed on a macro scale. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Do you honestly believe ANY medium-to-large company maintains any level of "passion" for their product that exceeds their focus on profits?
Corporations have shareholders to answer to, and shareholders demand profits. A company can be passionate as a hippy at Woodstock, and make the best widgets the market has ever seen, but it won't keep the lights on and the doors open if no one is looking at profits.
Don't be naïve. As an investor, I fully expect any company I invest in to prioritize the bottom line above all else. Quality and passion are merely a means of achieving ongoing profits.
I also loathe the term craft. Just because a brewery is large doesnt mean they arent a craft brewer. There are some huge breweries that still put out interesting and delicious beers. Dont have to "sell out" (what does that even mean?) to become successful and wide-spread. In my mind craft anything means it's higher quality ingredients/product. That's about it.
POP QUIZ! Circle the correct answer.
1) The main ingredient in beer is water.
2) The main ingredient in beer is money.
1) Beer producers truly care what you think of their product and strive to make you happy.
2) Beer producers don't care WHAT you think of their product as long as it sells, which depends upon them making you think they actually care about what you think.
1) The color of beer is pale yellow to very dark brown.
2) The color of beer is green.
