Yes, yes it does. A very respectable skill, regardless of appreciation for the final product. Your point?
Personally, I think the term "craft" beer was at first a subversive stab at BMC, to differentiate between corporate-machine produced lager and smaller-in-scope breweries.
However, as time moves, so does the evolution of the industry. Now "craft" is a buzzword for the uninitiated, which is why Shock Top and Blue Moon are often referred to as such.
Ultimately, I think that the industry is looked at incorrectly. The media, articles, etc. all point to BMC owning the lion's share of the Beer Market (95%+) while "craft" beer and it's many varieties take in the rest (~5%).
However, I honestly think that there are two markets: BMC and Non-BMC. For example, there are beer drinkers who swear by one or the other (Bud Light vs Coors Light) that will
never in a million years drink anything else. They may try a Chainbreaker or Pliny and absolutely hate it. Some people do not have the palate for hop oils, roasted malts, yeast esters, etc. Some people just want to buy cheap booze in familiar cans. They prefer the feel, consistency, taste, and nostalgia. Coke Classic.
So, when discussing the "beer market" and how BMC share is slipping to "craft", I read this as a simple shift in the buzzwords, without much impact to the actual market itself. Breweries like Dogfish Head, Russian River, Deschutes, etc. are growing to fill a market that is already close to tapped out. There will never be a day in our lifetime where BMC shares any of the true market with "craft" beer because the core audiences are different. It isn't the same market.
Saying it is would be analogous to saying that beer is just beer. Which goes against what most "craft" breweries are trying to accomplish.
