Micro Brewed beer...?
My experience with micro brewed beer is that it is flat, or it has very little activity. Is this normal for Home Brew or micro brewed beer? I won't drink my Miller Lite or Dos Equis flat, so why would I pay a premium for flat beer?
Carbonation is a function of beer style. The beer produced by the megabreweries is American Pilsener (aka Yellow American Fizzy Beer) which generally calls for a higher level of carbonation. Craft breweries tend to make different style beers. A Stout or Porter calls for a lower carbonation level to give a creamier mouthfeel. An IPA or a Hefeweizen would call for a higher level in order to transmit the aromatics.
FWIW - all beer is made with yeast. The carbonation can be achieved via bottle conditioning or forced conditioning. Bottle conditioning is adding a little sugar to the beer before bottling. The yeast which remain convert that sugar to CO2. Since the bottle is capped, the CO2 enters into solution. Forced conditioning is adding CO2 to a keg via a pressurized tank of CO2. Since the keg is sealed, the CO2 enters into solution. Either way, CO2 is CO2. Whether it came from a tank or yeast farts doesn't matter.
