Pabst Light is a new launch from Pabst Brewing Company that reflects the quality, affordability and crisp, refreshing qualities that uncompromising drinkers crave. "We developed Pabst Light for people who want a great-tasting light beer without overthinking it—low calories, low carbs, and priced right, knowing value means so much to today's shopper," said Kim Oakley, Director of Pabst Light.
Pabst Light comes in at 4.2% ABV, just 96 calories and 3.5 grams of carbs. Notably, it shares a new recipe made with premium ingredients, including El Dorado hops, seldom used in American Light beer.
Aesthetically, cans of Pabst Light sport a retro-style design with a clean look that incorporates the iconic ribbon badge, appealing to new and old generations of light beer drinkers alike.
