Good beer is good beer, and bad beer is bad beer, regardless of who made it.
I don't care for BMC / other typical US macros, but not because they aren't quality products. Many of them are well made, with a consistency that should be admired. I don't care for those beers because I don't care for the style, and I don't like beers brewed with a lot of adjuncts that don't add flavor.
I tend to gravitate towards smaller craft-brewed beers, especially local ones, for a few reasons. 1) I like to support local/small business, 2) some smaller craft brewers will take a risk and produce something unique, and 3) the more small brewers I and others support, the more small brewers there will be.
I really appreciate that right now in the US, this really is an exciting time for lovers of craft beer, we have an unprecedented amount of choice and variety. Whether your thing is BMC, macro craft, micro craft, or homebrew, there is something for everyone. I was fortunate enough to reach legal drinking age right near the beginning of the craft brew revolution, and although the US is still widely regarded as producing one-dimensional and uninteresting beer to much of the world... the reality is that while the industrial pilsners still dominate the market, commercial brewers in the US are probably producing more varieties of beers and innovating more than anywhere else in the world I can think of.
Despite that, the market dominating beers that many of us don't care for, and that we are best known for are not bad products or "crap", they're just not what some of us care for. Beer is IMHO an acquired taste, and when one's beer experience is almost entirely US industrial pilsner, that's what you're going to think of as beer.
