New beer: MGD 64
Saw a commercial today for Miller Genuine Draft 64. That’s 64 as in 64 calories in the beer. I hadn’t seen the commercial before, and after doing a little research, it appears this beer was introduced in limited markets last summer and is being rolled out this year. According to Miller’s claims, MGD 64 is one of the lightest light beers around. Here are the stats they list on the Web site www.mgd64.com:
-MGD 64: 64 calories
-Amstel Light: 95 calories
-Michelob Ultra: 95 calories
-Heineken Premium Light: 99 calories
-Bud Light: 110 calories
I checked the Web for calories in a Coors Light — there are 102. I also found this link, which gives a pretty thorough listing of low-calorie beers. As you can see, MGD 64 is not the lightest beer out there, but a quick check reveals that all the beers listed as lighter (except for Beck’s Premium Light, which also has 64 calories) are essentially non-alcoholic brews. One significant issue: MGD 64 comes in at 2.8 percent ABV. All that aside, the real question is how does it taste? Miller says it is “satisfying in flavor.” I haven’t had a chance to try it, but if anyone out there has, drop me a note in the comments section. Generally speaking, I can sum up my feelings about light beers by borrowing an expression from a certain former Arizona Cardinals football coach: They are who we thought they were! You know what you’re getting with a light beer. We’re not exactly talking flavor run wild here. But I’m not above determining the best-tasting light beer. There are times (read: Sundays) when that might be all you can choose from. I believe a taste-off may be in order for a future post.

I am a beer drinker but also needing to watch my weight. I am on weight watchers and this is the only beer that is 1 point, which is a big deal in this diet! It’s awesome and I am so happy it’s out! Thanks
The advertising of MGD 64 has been aimed at the folks who like to work out, which includes myself. And, boy, does it deliver! I’ve never given my bladder such exercise–except for that one time in fourth grade when I drank six juice boxes on a field trip, and had to hold it on the bus for two hours. Seriously, though, if you’re trying to make your urine “as light as it gets,” MGD 64 is the beer of choice.
MGD 64 is great for keeping the pounds in check. As a Bud Light drinker, those 110 calorie bottles tend to add up. Also, being that alcohol volume is at 2.8% it’s a win for going out at bars and restaurants and not having to leave as early as before. Bars should keep this beer on hand, if a patron has had a little too much but not enough to throw them out – shift them to this beer. This Bud Light drinker can handle the difference in taste – not bad.
This beer has an alright taste, but in terms of alcohol content it doesn’t stack up. I’m not a heavy drinker and I drank 10 of these beers and didn’t even get a buzz, what the heck, I will stick with Bud Light.
I tried it last weekend and I love it. I too am on Weight Watchers and like the fact this beer is only 1 point. But, I live in a small town in Southwest Virginia and only one of our local restaurants/bars even carries MGD64. I have been onto all of them to get it. My favorite place says they can’t find anyone that sells it. That is disappointing.
I’ve tried it and the taste isn’t bad at all. I’m a bud light drinker and I too am on Weight Watchers so I’m pumped that it’s only 1 point. However, I like to have a buzz and this doesn’t seem to do the job. I may stick to Bud Light 7oz ponies!
I LIKE THE 64 CAL BEER IT HAS A GOOD TASTE. I AM A COORS LIGHT DRINKER AND I DRINK ABOUT 10 12OZ CANS. I DRANK THAT AND IT GAVE ME A LITTLE BUZZ KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!
Becks light is also 64 cal but has 3.2% alc/wt. Taste is great!! Best light beer on the market IMHO.

Vitamin D is produced by your body when come across the sun. There are other options for getting an adequate amount of this important vitamin the local surf forecast near the polar regions with limited sunlight.

Hello Nick Trougakos
sites like this give me hope.
I have been large my whole life.
I know i can shed it. Just have to do it!!
I just bought some, and the low abv is now evident. I only drink light beer to get buzzed and this doesn’t do the job, although in terms of taste it stacks up to say miller high life lite.
