Light, cold, crisp, drinkability are all terms that are used to describe most of the brews in the macro beer scene. Brands like Coors, Miller, Bud and Busch all boast about how light and flavorless they all are. Sure, someone who enjoys slamming 30+ brews might be drawn to their water-like quality — and, if one ever needed to put out a small brush, fire these would surely come in handy.
Now, as the pendulum is swinging in favor of the craft beer world, these companies are seeing direct competition from the micro world to their light beers.
Most non-craft beer drinkers associate these small batch brews as being darker, heavy and filling beers. While these aforementioned styles are delicious, there are also more than enough well-made, lighter options for the non-craft drinker to enjoy.
The following is a list to help convert the masses from light, tasteless beers to the goodness of the craft beer world. These breweries and beers mentioned are in no way superior to other brands or styles. They are just, in my opinion, very approachable and are the more common beers being added to menus and stores around the area. With that being said, I hope this helps to spark curiosity and encourage people to go out and try some of these craft brews that are popping up in stores near you.
