HEALTH BENEFITS

Why eat it.

✓In moderation, may support heart health due to plant-derived polyphenols from hops and grains.
✓Contains small amounts of B vitamins (niacin, riboflavin, folate) and minerals like silicon, which may contribute to bone health.
✓As a light beer, it is lower in calories and carbohydrates compared to standard beers, which can be a factor in weight management.
✓Can be a source of hydration due to its high water content, though alcohol itself is a diuretic.

COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Use as the liquid base for a light and crispy beer batter for frying fish, chicken, or vegetables.
2Add to chili, stews, or cheese sauces to provide a subtle malty depth without overpowering other flavors.
3Use as a tenderizing agent in marinades for chicken or pork.
4Can be used to steam shellfish like mussels or clams, infusing them with a mild flavor.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store upright in a cool, dark place, ideally a refrigerator at 38-45°F (3-7°C), to preserve freshness and carbonation.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or fluorescent light, which can cause a 'skunked' flavor and aroma.
Consume by the 'best by' date on the packaging for optimal taste, as light beers do not age well.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is Coors Light healthy?

In moderation, Coors Light can be part of a balanced lifestyle. It contains small amounts of B vitamins like niacin and folate, as well as silicon, which may support bone health. However, it is an alcoholic beverage and should be consumed responsibly to avoid negative health impacts.

How many calories and carbs are in Coors Light?

Coors Light contains approximately 29 calories and 1.64 grams of carbohydrates per 100g. For a standard 12-ounce (355ml) serving, this totals about 102 calories and 5 grams of carbs, making it significantly lighter than standard lagers.

Is Coors Light good for weight loss?

As a light beer, it is lower in calories and carbohydrates than many other alcoholic options, which can help with calorie management. However, alcohol can still slow down fat metabolism and stimulate appetite, so it should be consumed sparingly if you are trying to lose weight.

Is Coors Light vegan?

Yes, Coors Light is considered vegan-friendly. It is brewed using water, barley malt, corn, yeast, and hops, and the company does not use animal-derived fining agents like isinglass or gelatin during the filtration process.

Is Coors Light gluten-free?

No, Coors Light is not gluten-free. It is brewed with barley malt, which contains gluten, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or significant gluten sensitivity.

Is Coors Light keto-friendly?

While Coors Light is lower in carbs than regular beer at roughly 5g per 12oz serving, it may not fit a strict ketogenic diet. Depending on your daily carb limit, even one or two servings could consume a significant portion of your allowance.

Can you cook with Coors Light?

Yes, Coors Light is excellent for cooking, especially in beer batters for fish or in 'beer bread' recipes. Because it has a mild, crisp flavor profile, it adds moisture and a subtle maltiness without overpowering the other ingredients in the dish.

What does Coors Light taste like?

Coors Light is known for its very light, crisp, and refreshing taste with minimal bitterness. It has a clean finish with subtle notes of malt and corn, and it is specifically designed to be consumed at very cold temperatures.

How should Coors Light be stored and how long does it last?

It should be stored in a cool, dark place, ideally in a refrigerator, to maintain its flavor profile. For the best experience, it should be consumed within 4 to 6 months of its packaging date, as the flavor can degrade over time.

Does Coors Light help with hydration?

While Coors Light has a high water content, alcohol is a natural diuretic that increases fluid loss through urine. It should not be used as a primary source of hydration, and it is recommended to drink plain water alongside it to prevent dehydration.
