    As a brewer with more than 20 years of experience. I will say that the most difficult to brew style are the American Light Lagers. There is nowhere to hide any flaws and the fact the large microbreweries are able to produce millions of gallons with such amazing consistency is impressive. Every beer has its place and there is nothing wrong with enjoying any one of these, however none would be a first choice if the goal is to enjoy a beer with complexity and exceptional flavor. You did well identifying all three. We keep an American style light lager on tap and some people have told me it's a PBR clone while others have claimed it's a bud light, Coors or Miller lite clone. The fact is that most of these beers are more similar than they are different.

    • @Dreyno
      @Dreyno 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

      People forget that big breweries became big because they were really good at making beer. Producing huge quantities with perfect consistency. Obviously making lowest common denominator beer that doesn’t offend is good business but that skill could be turned to any sort of beer if the market demanded it. For example, Guinness realised there was a thirst for some heavier tasting beers and they produced West Indies Porter which was excellent.

    • @jamess3532
      @jamess3532 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      The large macrobreweries learned that producing the least offensive beer profile with the broadest appeal was extremely profitable. I don't give them credit for producing great beer. I give them credit for developing a large scale brewing process that produces a near flawless and consistent product. The fact is, the vast majority of American Light Lager "beer" drinkers don't actually like beer. Give most of them a beer with more than 10-15 IBU's and they can't tolerate it and hate the way it tastes. One of the greatest things to come out of the homebrewing and microbrewing trend is that it brought many Americans back to enjoying beer brewed without a bunch of adjuncts and enjoying a beer brewed with noticeable Hop character, Barley, A good water profile and a yeast
      strain with some complexity.@@Dreyno

      @@jamess3532 I didn’t say they produce great beer. I just said they’re really good at making beer and they’re capable of making better beers if they wanted. I agree, most people want easy to drink, light beers. So that’s what they churn out by the truckload.
      And as someone who’s worked in some physical jobs down the years, the appeal of an easily chugged, frosty beer with little complexity is understandable after a day in the hot sun. You don’t particularly want a heavier beer with lots of notes. You just want refreshment. Very different from having a few tasty micro brews of an evening.

      I've drank each of them hundreds of times and they all taste the same to me pretty much. Miller does have a few less calories for the same alcohol content though so it's probably a bit superior to the others due to that alone. As a guy who is trying to avoid gaining weight I don't feel quite as guilty drinking a couple Miller lite's compared to the others but in all honesty if any of them are free I'll take it.

    What the macro producers do very well is making that first sip clean, crisp and refreshing before the limitations of their ingredients, process, etc. can make themselves known as the beer warms. Maybe that is why I used to be so fond of the Rolling Rock 7-ounce bottles - you get many more "first sip" experiences without worrying about how the beer tastes half an hour from now.

      @DustinHayre 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      That's the point of Pilsners and other similar pale lagers, whether you're drinking an American or Czech-style. The style should be clean, crisp, and dry with only mild malt character and varying degrees of hop bitterness. The style is intended to be refreshing with a clean finish and no dominant flavors besides the mild bitterness of the hops. The American macro lagers are all decent examples of this, and are based on Czech Pilsners. It's a notably difficult style to brew well because there's nothing to hide your mistakes. The big brands have the ability to produce them at a massive scale with impressive consistency, which is definitely much more of a struggle for smaller brewers and home brewers.

      ​@DustinHayre I no longer drink, but that said, I started with Budweiser and then budlight by the time I was in my late twenties I felt they all had no real flavor and if they got warm they were disgusting.
      Which I find hilarious since I love the flavor of corona, it's just so distinct and bitter.
      On a side note, they should have snuck in an Old Milwaukee in that second 3... that stuff is putrid.

    Very impressive Nate. You're take on all of these very popular beers supports why they are popular. They are good examples of their type of Lager, Pilsner..etc. They are made by people that love making beer. Good for all of them and the people that drink them. I visited New Belgium Brewery in Ft. Collins a few weeks ago. Great brewery with perhaps the best employee support, benefits and love of any place I've visited. Our tour guide gave us many samples of their sours, porters, IPA's and ambers. All very good. Our guide told us the head brewer does not like IPA's. I said it showed. She asked how it showed and I answered every one of your beers tastes like it was made to be the best beer in it's class, except the IPA's. They taste like they were made to fill out the IPA palate of their brewery. The guide then told us that their Juice Force IPA was the best selling IPA in America. Then asked if I found that surprising? I wasn't. I told her it was good, but not on the level of their other beers. She seemed fine with my response. My labored point here is that every beer I have tried from Treehouse, Pilsner, Lager, Farm Ale, Common Ale, IPA, Porter and Stout are all made with love and dedication to the style and Treehouse's commitment to quality. For all of the beers you brew, and there are lots, each of them is of the highest quality and most of all, you make your customers very, very happy. Is there any better outcome?

    I have been home brewing since 1992, it is refreshing to come across another brewer who recognizes the skill involved in making an American style ( albeit “light”) lager. The “experts” who bad mouthed American lagers have no perception of the challenges associated with brewing a consistently clean, crisp beer. My experience with brewing full body dark ales is how forgiving they are to make; minor flaws can be masked with a little tweaking. All I can say is try to brew an acceptable American beer before you pass judgement on a domestic beer.

    Busch Light is gross. I drank that during COVID and the acetaldehyde in that beer gave me issues after a handful.

    @DrJRAyers 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I've done this blind test quite a few times.. It's real simple. In my experience, the people that prefer Bud light and Coors light are not able to determine this. But those that prefer Miller lite can. It can be done by smelling all three, and then just tasting one.
    The Coors light will have the strongest aroma. Miller lite and Bud light have almost no aroma. The smell will tell you which one is Coors light right away. Bud light and Miller light taste a little similar. Bud light might be a little sweeter. But Miller lite will leave a slight aftertaste, whereas Bud light will leave almost no aftertaste. The aftertaste alone tells you that it's Miller lite..

    Great review, no hate, just enjoying beers and respecting them for what they are. Miler Lite is def one of the best tasting light beers of them all imo. I am not being bias being a Chicago Native, but it used to be Miester Brau Lite which was a Chicago company that Miller bought out and then rebranded it to Miller Lite.

    An added dimension would be to try them at different can ages. I find as coors ages it drops off fast and the others get more metalic after they sit for a while and after a while are just straight undrinkable. Bud light I just cant drink anyways. Never liked it. It's primary flavor note to me is sadness 😂 and I generally have never had an issue with miller. I will say this. The best lager type beer I have EVER had was the coors straight out of the tank on the brewery tour. I asked why they can't bottle that and they said it only lasts a few days then changes flavor. It's the one you can only get there and in a few select places they deliver kegs to daily.

    Miller really does taste better as you drink it. It tastes clean and refreshing. Bud is too sweet and the brand I've experienced the least consistency with. It just tastes kind of like dirty water to me, and very often is flat. Coors is crisp but otherwise unremarkable.
