Yes, they can produce a 'craft beer' but they cannot produce micro brew beer. I don't care what they say, they're simply not a micro brewery and any attempt to pass themselves or a particular line off as such is pure hogwash.

Same with cigars IMO. To me, 'boutique' means 'little mom and pop cigar rolling operation'. Limited releases by tobacco giants are not boutique cigars. Neither are formerly small operations bought out by said tobacco giants. Goose Island brewing company was bought out by Anheuser Busch. To me, that's the end of their 'micro brewery' status.
