"Lite" beer drinkers, a few questions...

It's being marketed as the pint for new men - not lager louts - and has half the alcohol content of normal beer. Is this a good thing?

He takes care over his appearance and moisturises daily. He knows about art, literature and food, as well as football and beer. Isn't it about time metrosexual man had his own lager?

"Lite" lager is brewed with a lower alcohol content but all the taste of the full-strength stuff, according to the breweries. It's pitched at the less laddish new man who still wants a "proper pint" with his mates.

But drinking Coors Light (the "Silver Bullet!") makes me cool and all the chicks will dig me.

The ads tell me so.

Did Hamms ever make a Hamms-Lite?

Yep, there is a Hamm's-Lite, although Hamm's is now made by the giant beer borg, Miller.

When the weather is nice, you'll find me sitting in a lawnchair outside the abandoned Hamm's brewery in St. Paul, waiting for them to re-open the plant and bring back the golden elixer to the Land of Sky Blue Waters.
