> a lot of restaurants are changing out their taps of beers that are universally liked for craft beers.
I've noticed this too at a few of the bars I frequent, and there seem to be two commonly cited reasons for it:
[1] People are boycotting Anheuser-Busch because they believe that the SuperBowl ad they aired in SBLI was anti-Trump, and
[2] More commonly, people are boycotting Anheuser-Busch because of their attempts to buy up craft breweries that threaten their business, or anti-competitively strongarm the ones they can't buy by abusing the power they have through the three-tier distribution system.
More rarely, I've heard cases in which Busch (or their distributors) attempted to strong arm bars who cleared out a couple taps to make room for craft brewers by threatening their supply of their more popular products, to which the bar owners just decided to quit carrying them altogether.
