Unless you're drinking beer you made yourself, or a small brewpub/brewery operation you're drinking "mass produced" beer.

To be a craft/microbrewery you can only make 15,000 barrels or less of beer a year. Miller and Bud make close to 100,000,000 barrels a year EACH. I think there is a difference there. For every one barrel of beer a craft brewery makes, Miller and Bud will make 14,000. I hope this will help you put "mass production" into perspective.
