I believe that the large U.S. brewers try to cater to the lowest
common denominator. It's a bit like McDonalds. Which is fine, as long
as there is room for the premium products. The same thing, more or
less, is happening here in Brazil. Mass market beers are increasingly
tasting the same, trying to be "easy to drink." But that strategy
creates room for the niche producers.
