![]() ![]() What makes it light/what is considered light?Ī light beer is any beer with a lower alcohol content, which therefore is lower in calories and often has a lighter body. There are other ways to lower the gravity of a beer-decoction mashing, for example-but these processes are sometimes too time-consuming and costly for breweries to endeavor. This is often primarily done by diluting the wort during the brewing process. A beer is made “light” by reducing the gravity (the amount of fermentable sugars) in a beer, thus lowering the alcohol and calorie content. Unlike other beer styles-stout, lager, pale ale-the “light beer” category is less a strict category and more a qualifier, as there are light lagers, light IPAs, light wheat beers, etc. A quality light beer should be a beer you’d reach for whenever you’re in the mood for a less potent brew that still tastes like beer.įAQs Is light beer made the same way as regular beer? While there will always be a time and a place for a Miller Lite or a Tecate, if you want a beer that won’t weigh you down (but also won’t leave you questioning if you are, in fact, drinking a beer), reach for a craft option such as Night Shift’s Nite Lite ( view at Drizly).įor decades Miller Light was synonymous with the slogan “tastes great, less filling.” Many light beers still try to live up to the motto, by offering easy-drinking beers that don’t skimp on the flavor. The craft beer industry has improved the light beer category by leaps and bounds. ![]()
