What's the best light beer?
And yes, I realize that some may see that as an oxymoron.

Miller? Bud? Michelob? Corona?

What what what?

1. For pure low calories, Becks light can't be beat
Edited on Fri Feb-13-09 04:08 PM by NJmaverick
for pure taste Sam Adam's light. Amstel is also pretty good.

2. Yet another "sucks the least" question.....
Bud lite is really the only one I have much exposure to, but not by choice.

I will drink regular Corona with a lime in the summer months (I dunno- it tastes kinda bad, but it somehow works; I can't explain it), but Corona lite is just beyond nasty.

3. Water.
Or maybe a shot of vodka, and water.

4. A Couple of points to remember. If you are drinking a beer or two,
go for the taste and skip the light beers! If you are planning on drinking a lot, it probably doesn't matter, just enjoy and get drunk!

:beer:

:hi:

8. Guinness Stout
Tastes better and has more kick, so you'll drink less, thus it's a light beer.

12. Yep. 126 calories for a 12-ounce serving and considerably more flavor than a typical light beer.

9. Try Sam Adams Light.
Consumer tip: As with all Sam Adams beer, watch the expiration date. When it goes south, it goes hard!

13. Take a pint of your favorite beer, and pour it into an 8oz glass...
You'll consume half the calories without sacrificing taste. :toast:

19. As if
There's a Ratpiss brand I think I tasted once................

I grew up where Yuengling is brewed, and their beer has always been wonderful, even though it's now gone national and become (dare I say it?) trendy.

I've never tasted this, but I'll bet it's good:

22. Yuenlings, if you can get it where ever you are...
I haven't had a drink for nearly 21 years, but that used to be the best light beer I ever had.
(And I had a LOT!)

Happy weekend.
