6 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Miller Lite
Miller Lite, is a 4.2% ABV American light pale lager sold by MillerCoors of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. The company also produces Miller Genuine Draft and Miller High Life.
- Miller Lite’s original name was Gablinger’s Diet Beer, which was developed in 1967 by a biochemist who worked for New York’s Rheingold Brewery. It failed, and was later produced as Meister Brau Lite by Meister Brau Brewing, which sold some of its assets (including the Lite brand) to Miller in 1972.
- Although Gablinger’s and Meister Brau Lite were essentially the same exact beer as Miller Lite, the latter was successful due to a marketing campaign that used elite professional male athletes like Bubba Smith and Joe Frazier, and a legendary catchy motto, “Tastes Great, Less Filling!”
- To capitalize on the craft beer movement in 2008, Miller released three new Lite formulas: an amber, a blonde ale, and a wheat beer, but the collection didn’t stay around for very long.
- At the 2010 and 2014 Great American Beer Festivals, Miller Lite won the gold medal for Best American Style Lager or Light Lager, beating out Miller Genuine Draft, which received the bronze medal.
- In 2013, Miller Lite reintroduced its original 1974 “Lite” packaging on its 16-ounce cans for a limited time as part of a marketing campaign for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, in which the beer was prominently featured. Sales soared, so the company brought back the vintage label full-time.
- Miller Lite and Guinness are nearly identical in alcohol (4.2 percent) and calories (a 12-ounce serving of Miller Lite has 96 and Guinness has 125). Miller Lite is also lower in calories than competitors Coors Light and Bud Light.
Miller Lite is a light beer that is brewed with high quality ingredients, including water, barley, malt, corn, yeast and hops. It has a simple flavor profile and a rich, full-bodied beer taste that can be quite refreshing on a warm Cayman day!
