The Rise of Light Beer -- Miller Lite, Bud Light, and Beer Industry Changes

The Rise of Light Beer -- Miller Lite, Bud Light, and Beer Industry Changes
The 20th century saw many changes to the brewing industry but by far the most impact to beer in the western world was the rise of light beers in the United States. Although light beer has only been widely available for about 4 decades those brands have come to dominate the beer market in the US and abroad. So this week Ryan takes a look at how light beer reshaped the beer industry and who the individuals behind this revolution were. Cheers!

    Miller Lite is one of my fav beers simply because of how "light" and refreshing it is. I also love craft beer, especially Smutty nose Pumpkin ale.

    Bud Light. Budweiser when it's really cold hits like no other beer on earth. I don't know if it's because the water is close to freezing and the alcohol stops it from freezing. There just seems to be a nexus point when Bud is really cold that it goes from being soapy hogwash to heaven. Sometimes Bud Light does it too.

    Beer snobs love to rail on and on about how crappy light beer is but they have their place. Miller Lite is quite tasty and has great drinkability. And its not as if I haven't had craft beers, and small brewery beer, like when I was over in Germany, and Wiezen was the beer of choice, either heffe or crystal. Monschoff Maingold for instance. But I like a nice easy drinking beer that doesn't make you feel like you just ate a loaf of bread.

    I switched from Budweiser to Bud light because I was told that I would be less hungover with bud light. Ever since, my hangovers are mild. More mild when I get water before bed but still not as bad. Also to me Bud light taste better to me now. Bud is more bitter stronger taste .

    Bud Light rise and fall, as I just came back from Walmart, BL was selling @ $18.99, and today they had the balls to raise their pricing by 3.5 dollars. Now @ $22 an change, I will switch to a more cheaper brew. It’s not a must have item, it’s a pleasure item.

    In my country light means no alcohol. And heavy restrictions from the government that says all beer above 4,7% are only to be sold in a specialty stores called perfectly The monopoly. Beer under 4,7% are sold in stores where you can find food and such and about 15 different beer from 6-7 breweries. But they can´t be sold after 8pm or 4 pm on Saturdays and not on Sundays or the day before any national Holiday like xmas

    I dont understand why light beer is so popular its literally watered down pisswater like Budweiser is already watery as hell bud light taste like extra watered down bud light less alcohol content and pretty much the same price as Budweiser. Its funny if I go to a party with some ipas like spacedust if someone asks me for a beer I let them taste mine first alot of the times they change there mind like the hopps are strong but at least it has a distinct flavor not just watered down piss

    Srsly don’t understand why ppl love bud light more than miller lite. Srsly shit tastes like water compared to bud which still has the very slight budweiser ish taste to it. Never understood why ppl choose bud as the predominant party beer. Miller should be the god of party beers but sadly never gains the reputation it deserves. Idk but when most think of miller lite, it’s probably the most stereotypical image of somebody litering a beer can while driving, and sadly not partying
