From the "Thanks, But No Thanks" Dept: Beercoal is back

[Chris Allingham]

And to think I didn't even know that beercoal had gone away! Apparently it was a thing last year. Sounds very similar to Kingsford Signature Flavor briquets infused with different spices.

From a post at Foodbeast.com:

"Getting a good fire going on the grill can take some time, having a beer always helps with that wait. Now, Miller Lite is once again heating things up with its limited-edition Beercoal.

"The beer brand has teamed up with Kingsford to create a new version of its beer-infused charcoal. Last year, Beercoal sold out within minutes of its limited release. But now Miller Lite has partnered with the grilling giant to re-release the summer grilling staple.

"To ensure the best combination of Kingsford charcoal flavor and the taste of Miller Lite, Beercoal is made using Kingsford Original briquets, which are coated with the same barley used in Miller Lite.

"Miller Lite Beercoal is available now while supplies last."

Take one for the team, Chris. Make a video about it while drinking a Miller Lite.

Two wrongs don’t make a right….

KF () and Miller Light (). “Quality beer ingredients”

I would say it’s a waste of good beer, but in this case that can’t be said.

Apologies in advance to all the Miller Lite drinkers

But two lefts make a U-Turn putting us back the where we were, the starting point of tests.

Chris even did that cook in bag ribs adventure. He’s a boss. He can do it! In style!!!

Chris’s day has 24 hours in it.

Same as everyone else.

I'll buy a bag. Not for the charcoal, I just want the bag. I could come up with something cool for the patio.

Yeah, that might just be worth it! Make a table, layer a1/2“ of epoxy over it.

Maybe just a shadow box hanging from a post.
Oh, I got it! Use it for a clock face. It has to be Miller Time somewhere.

 

[Tim Campbell]

Can't tell if I feel more sorry for the beer, or for the charcoal.

Miller Lite is not beer

Yes it’s more like “making love in a canoe”! As my Dad’s old joke went…

Originally a Coors Light joke from the early 70s. Been adapted to the other light beers over the years.

I broke down and ordered a bag. I’ll post something about it and maybe send the empty bag to someone who wants it!

Originally told to me by my father in about 1968.
it’s MUCH older than Coors light but, same story.

Where did you find it Chris? I would mind finding a bag for my self to try…

Ordered a bag from https://shop.millerlite.com/collections/miller-lite-beercoal but it's now out of stock.

 

[Dustin Flavell]

Thanks for the link. Yeah no items available for the beercoal. Looked locally in town today, but no luck. I’ll keep my eyes out and check the link to see if something changes.

I assumed that this was the charcoal from the final stage of brewing Miller Lite. You know, the step where they filter it through charcoal to remove any traces of beer.

You know, that just doesn't sound like a good marketing idea
