To one-up Miller's MGD Lite 64, Budweiser has come out with Select 55, a 12 ounce beer with just 55 calories and 1.9 carbs. To compare, Bud Select is just 99 calories and 3.1 carbs. A regular Budweiser is 145 calories and 10.6 carbs.
So how bad can it taste? I'm not sure yet. Select 55 is not yet widely available. According to www.budweiserselect55.com, the closest place you can try it is the Hooters restaurant at 32976 Gratiot Ave. in Roseville.

Strange how the microbrew community gets larger and more established - usually trying to stuff more and more hops and grain into a glass until light can't even escape it. Meanwhile, the macrobrews (while occasionally releasing a decent micro-faux) continue on with WWII-style ingredient rationing.
