There are other national or large regional brands fading away, like Stroh's, Old Style, Pabst just to name a few off the top of my head.

When my wife was single.
Michelob was the only beer in her fridge. And not much of it. But that's the only kind she would drink.

So, specialty beers and craft beers . . .
. . are eating into the old mainstream beers.
This harkens back to the great brewery consolidation many years ago. The big guys bought up large numbers of small and regional breweries and closed them down for their market share.
They sold all the equipment as scrap. There was their mistake. It was sold for scrap - it was not destroyed.
This launched the craft beer movement. Suddenly brewing enthusiasts could buy perfectly usable brewery equipment at scrap yard prices - and set themselves up in business.
On another point - a demographic study of who is going for "lite" and who is going for the craft and specialty beers would be interesting. I suspect the brewing industry is doing just that.

Big oil got that right
When they bought up the trolley and light rail lines, they destroyed the train cars.

Cleveland sold theirs to Toronto.
The electric cable cars that ran downtown were sold to Toronto.
The cable cars are still in operation there.

Toronto == Smart
Point of Personal Privilege,
I well recall the exhilaration of riding on bottom step of SF Cable Cars, as a tad (make that: when Home, from school--and as early as, a 10-11 yo tad!)
I would match the 'adults' who, Certain of their perfect dexterity, would--as car slowed for sharp curves after climbing the steep hills, s l o w for the turn
--and jump off, in-motion, to save a few steps before first 'Stop'. As in, heh.. heh.. I. So. Kewl.
(I wasn't Supposed to "ride on the bottom step" as a 'child', but--w.t.f. was Enforcing That?)
I Still Here. So I guess my "manual DexterityÂ" must have been precocious enough. Eh?
(Prolly prepared me for survival, later, of Vincent Black Shadows at 120 clicks, I wot.)
