The Ideal Lager Awaits: Amstel Light

Light cuisine, warm days, and crashing waves call for the beauty and refreshing flavor of Amstel Light. This pale lager has 3.5% ABV and hails from the Netherlands. A 12-ounce service has 95 calories and 5g of carbohydrates. This pale lager is on the dry side with full flavor and notes of bread and grain.

The History of Amstel Light

Two best friends, Charles de Pesters and Johannes van Marwijk Kooy, founded Amstel Light in 1870. The goal was to bring a heavier pilsner to Amsterdam as opposed to thinner brews. Following Prohibition, Amstel first arrived in the US in 1933, and Amstel Light came to the US in 1980.

The competition between Amstel and Heineken was natural since they’re both from Amsterdam. Interestingly, in 1968, Heineken purchased Amstel, so the two are engaged in a unique dance of competition and collaboration. This dance means that drinkers in the US are limited to Amstel Light; other brands aren’t available in order to protect the popularity of Heineken.

As Heineken develops new beers, they’re often released as Amstel products, another effort to protect the Heineken brand.

The Lighter Lager for a Lighter You

Amstel Light is a healthier option for beer lovers. It has fewer calories and carbs than most, so indulging in a few bottles doesn’t have to cause regret or a beer belly.

This option makes it possible to have fun without your inner nutrition nannies wagging their fingers.
