To welcome summer in the most on-brand way possible, Miller Lite is introducing Miller Lite Beercoal as the first-ever beer-infused charcoal for the grill. The charcoal is ready to be used for a variety of classic backyard barbecue recipes like Baby Back Ribs with Beer Glaze, Beef Skewers with Miller Lite Marinade or Buttermilk and Beer Grilled Chicken Sliders.
Anne Pando, director of marketing for Miller Lite, said "Summer is also beer season, and as a light beer known for great taste, it only made sense to pair Miller Lite with the distinct and beloved flavor grilling offers." To create this novelty product, the brand reduced real Miller Lite to a concentrated form, then coated Miller Lite Beercoal with the taste of the light beer.
