The Best Light Beers of All Time

Coors, Coors Light, Miller Lite

Like many people I love a good beer. Personally I have always preferred light beer. One reason is I enjoy the taste of beer and like to accompany food with it. For this reason I don’t get regular beers since they usually have much higher alcohol content and more calories. There are many great beers in the world. Some of the best are made right here in the United States. Here are five of my favorite light beers. One thing all these beers have in common is they all have that great smell of beer. There is not other way to describe their scent.

The first beer that we will look at is Miller Lite. It is brewed by The Miller Brewing Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was first introduced in 1973. I would describe it as pale ale bordering on lager taste. It is very crisp and clean to the taste. The flavor is neutral from the first sip to the last. I personally do not think that it has an aftertaste, but some drinkers do think that. It does not usually give you lots of foam and really does not have lots of body to it. I have found this beer can be paired with anytime of food, but I prefer to pair it with sandwiches than other foods. As a side note, Miller Lite was the first nationally marketed light beer in the United States. It contains 4.2% alcohol by volume.

Budweiser is often referred to as the king of beers. Their light offering is Bud Light. It is brewed by Anheuser-Busch in Saint Louis, Missouri. It was introduced to regain market share lost Miller Lite in 1982. It is a pale style lager but not too strong. The first taste is a bit bitter but then tastes more crisp and clean. It always goes down smooth and easy. I would not say that it has an aftertaste, but the novice beer drinker will notice more of an aftertaste with bud light than other leading light beers. It is a good full bodied beer and gives more of a foamy head than other beers. I find it does not really go with seafood well, but tastes great with burgers or any food that is put on the grill. It is a tad stronger than other light beers, but you still can enjoy it socially. The alcohol content is 4.2% by volume.

The first of my two favorite import beers is Moosehead Light. This beer can be pretty hard to find in many areas. I have often had to special order it. This is a Canadian style lager brewed by Moosehead Breweries Ltd in Saint John, New Brunswick Canada. It is more expensive than most American beers, but I find it worth it. I will say this tastes more like regular beer than most others that you will drink. The taste is bitter but almost sweet after the first sip. There is a slight aftertaste but not very much. I personally never pair this with food as I prefer other beers. It is good with snacks like chips, pretzels and nuts if you are watching a game. I personally don’t like it with many other foods if any. Moosehead Light contains 4% alcohol.

My next import is Corona Light. It is brewed by Grupo Modelo in Mexico City Mexico. This is a really good beer. It is a pale lager with a nice crisp taste that almost will remind you of a bit of salt and citrus when you drink it after a few sips. It is not overtly bitter like many beers and does not have a strong aftertaste. This beer is great with Mexican foods. I especially like it with fajitas and will often use some of the beer while I am cooking. Many people put a lime wedge with it, but I like it straight since you taste citrus in it. Over the last several years Corona America’s most popular imported beer and Corona light is really starting to catch on in the light beer market. The alcohol content is 4% on this import in most markets that you buy it in.

I saved the best for last. Coors Light is my favorite beer in general. It is made by Coors Brewing Company in Golden, Colorado. The “Silver Bullet”, as it is often called, was introduced in 1978 right after Miller Lite. Coors Light is like soda to me. It does not have a heavy taste and maintains its flavor from the first sip to the last sip. I have never found this beer to have an aftertaste in my experience and no one I know ever mentioned it to me. I would call Coors Light pale ale. It has a very light body and you don’t get a lot of foam. The lack of foam makes it a good keg beer. I pair this with just about any food. I especially like it with pizza or barbequed foods. It has 4.2% alcohol content in it.

Those are the five best light beers ever. I will clarify thought that with all the sponsorship Coors Light does for rodeo I am a little partial from my days in the rodeo. I was never endorsed by them, but you always could find Coors light around the rodeos. There is nothing that can help cool you off after a rough night at the rodeo than an ice cold beer.
