> Are you speaking exclusively of small beers

Thus the wording "a bunch of small breweries came up and they produced a large amount of amazing beer".

> Major beer brands seem to be roundly ridiculed

And McDonald's doesn't make good hamburgers. If I'm talking about burgers, I'm probably not talking about Mickey D's.

> people who seem to know the most about beer

People that act like they do. Nobody gives out credible degrees in drinking beer because you just drink a beer, anyone can do this.
