MGD 64 now on draft
Jan. 18, 2009

UPDATE: In response to reader questions, Miller 64 is 2.8 percent alcohol by volume, according to a spokesman for Miller Brewing Company.

Miller Brewing Company is rolling out its 64-calorie Miller Genuine Draft, “MGD 64,” which is a reformulation of the original MGD Light, and they are touting it as the lowest calorie beer on the market.

“MGD 64 is a sensible choice for consumers working hard to keep up with the pace of their life,” said Grant Leech, marketing director for the Miller Genuine Draft brand. “Whether they are out with a group of friends or taking a break at the end of the day, MGD 64 provides all of the great beer aroma and flavor consumers want but with about 35 percent fewer calories than the typical light beer.”The beer is being launched in a limited roll-out in the Midwest and some West Coast areas. Miller is saying they will also market MGD 64 to active places like health clubs and spas — pushing MGD 64 on the healthy beer drinker.

MGD 64 has 2.4 grams of carbohydrates per 12 ounce serving, which is just a bit less than Michelob Ultra’s 2.6 grams.

Miller offers the following comparisons:

  • A 6 ounce glass of red wine contains 128 calories — twice the amount in MGD 64
  • A 6 ounce gin and tonic contains 172 calories — almost three times as many calories as MGD 64
  • A 6.5 ounce margarita contains 246 calories — nearly four times the calories of one MGD 64

“The math is pretty simple,” Leech said. “Differences such as those between MGD 64 and competitive light beers and other alcohol beverages add up pretty quickly. For consumers who want great beer refreshment that doesn’t slow you down, MGD 64 is the clear choice.”

According to Miller, MGD 64 was initially launched last summer in Madison, Wis. People liked it there, and they’re expanding it. But we’re not seeing it on the East Coast just yet

    What’s the alcohol content???!! I have not found ANYTHING on the packaging or any web site that is revealing that percentage! Am I drinking water with 64 calories?? Sure tastes like lightly flavored water!

    I am pretty sure that it is 1 WW point … pretty sure there isn’t any fiber or fat in it. What I am wondering is WHERE DO I BUY IT?!! I had it at a bar in Okemos, MI and have been unable to locate it at any store!

    This is a beer for people who don’t really like beer. However, it’s really no worse than other light products from Miller and Anheuser-Busch, and probably isn’t bad when drunk in 90-degree heat and chilled to about a nano-degree above freezing. Chilling the hell out of it will do a lot to make its nasty, canned-beer aroma less noticeable. If Miller 64, Miller Light, Genuine Draft Light, and Bud Light were all that was available, I’d drink Miller 64, although without much enthusiasm.

    If you want a low alcohol beer, try a mild ale. For those of you in the Midwest, Pride & Joy Mild from Three Floyds is excellent.

    I like this new beer. The Miller website claims it has 3.0 ABV, but- seriously, you can drink more anyway now that it is low calorie! I really enjoy the flavor, it has such a smooth aftertaste… last week, i drank the 12 pack fairly quickly and then yesterday I had a Mich Ultra for lack of a stocked fridge and really really was glad that MGD 64 exixts… because I am totally going back to it tonight! haha If you are looking to get drunk, you won’t off this beer, but then again a beer, shot method will still be less calories than a normal beer and you would get desired effect. 🙂

    As someone who drinks more for effect than taste, I have a problem w/ the math on this one. If 64 has 30% less calories but 30% less alcohol content then what is the point? So I would need to buy 30% more beer and spend 30% more money to get the same effect and same calorie count. I just bought two 24 packs of this crap and they will be my final purchase. Back to Miller lite for me.

    We want the old MGD Light. back. We bought a couple of 12 packs of the new brew. We looked for the old MGD Light could not find it in our area.) Your new brew gave us an uncomftorable feeling. We tried it a couple of times and the same thing happened each time a bloated feeling.

    man you have got to be kidding me. Did some monkey above actually ask how much fat is in it? your awareness of alcohol is reprehensible and insulting on a personal level.
    NOW let me break down some math for you geniuses: Mich Ultra 4.6% alcohol, Mil64 2.8%. For 6 cans of ultra you drink, you’ll have to drink 10 cans of Mil64. That’s 640 calories, vs 570 in the ultra. And not to mention you now have 120 ounces of M64 sloshing around in your stomack, as opposed to the 72 oz of ultra. Where’s the room for more beer? Do I have to explain everything to you people??
    And if you drink beer to “hang with the boys” or fit in, please keep your radical extremist opinions to yourself, they aren’t appropriate for a civilized forum.
    And for the love of god stop shopping at Walmart, damn you people! You’re better than that!

    Well, I ran into “64” the other day and thought I’d give it a whirl. I like it from couple of fronts; it tastes better than mich ultra and I really like the 64 cal aspect. Of course, this will not compete against the imports but if you are looking for a smart choice (calories), this is it.

    The alcholol content is 3% by volume which is only 1.2% difference from most of the other light beers. I think that it takes pretty good. I am normally a bud light drinker but, I was kind of impressed with this. It does take longer to get a buzz, but I think the less calories are worth it!

  31. Smokey

    I don’t get the math on this 64 calorie claim. There are 340 grams of fluid in a 12 oz. bottle. At 2.8% alcohol that means that there are about 9.5 grams of alcohol in each 12 oz. bottle. 1 gram of alcohol = 7 calories. 9.5X7 = 66.5 calories in alcohol alone, which obviously doesn’t account for everyhting else that goes in to “flavor” of the beer. If this indeed has only 64 calories, that would mean it is basically artificially “beer-flavored” water.

    Well I switched to this beer in April. I thought it was great that I could pound it and didn’t get too stupid. No hangover, etc. Now that I have been drinking it for so long, it definitely takes less to start feeling a buzz. Had five last night, got a buzz going, and believe it or not, had a headache today. Yeah!! Obviously your body does start to get used to the lack of alcohol, making your body respond to this better. Now I CAN get a buzz going for less calories.

    This post is in response to Smokey’s confusion regarding the alcohol content of MGD-64. Your computations are on track, but not complete — you still have to convert alcohol by weight (ABW) to alcohol by volume (ABV) to get the correct calories associated with the stated ABV% (this is the same adjustment you’ll have to make for any beer if you’re trying to determine how many calories in the beer are due to alcohol). The conversion factor to change ABW (what you computed) to ABV is .8. For example,, 9.5g ABW X .8 = 7.6g ABV. 7.6g X 7 = 53 alcohol calories in MGD64. That leaves 9.5 calories for the carbs (2.4 * 4), and about 1.4 calories for the tiny amount of protein. The numbers are correct.

    BTW — here’s a really simple equation to determine the alcohol calorie content of any adult beverage when you know the ABV (usually listed on the beer, wine, or liquor bottle), as follows: ABV% * oz * 1.6. For example, if you’re interested in computing the alcohol calories in 1.5 oz of 80 proof (40% ABV) vodka, it’s simply 40 * 1.5 * 1.6 = 96 calories.

    Hope this helps clear up your confusion!

    For those of you that cannot find the weight watchers count on this new miller 64 product, 64 is 1 point. it has 4% alcohol, it has 2.4 carbs. Where as Mich ultra has 95 calories, 2.6 carbs, and Bud light at 110 calories, and 6.6 carbs. Millere genuine draft 64, is a very light beer, for those of you that favor a light crisp tasts, I enjoy it and also enjoy being able to consume more of it because the calories are so low, i’ll give up that 1% alcohol content to have less calories anyday..

    You have a typo, just so you know:
    “MGD 64 has 2.4 grams of carbohydrates per 12 ounce serving, which is just a bit more than Michelob Ultra’s 2.6 grams.”

    last time i checked 2.4 waas less than 2.6

    even though it has less calories and carbs, the taste just is not there. and of course it will have fewer calories and carbs of a mich. ultra. it has half the alcohol. so basically to get the same amount of alcohol you would have to drink more, resulting in more calories and carbs anyway…..

    so whynot just stick with a healthy beer, that also has great flavor, ie: Michelob ULTRA!

    This beer is not as terrible as I anticipated, but then again I was not expecting much from a light beer (super light). Was Miller trying to beat Becks Light becuase that is 65 calories a bottle. All aside its not that bad if it is really cold. I actually drink it now as a sobering beer. Meaning i switch over to this beer after i’ve been drinking my heavier beers all night!!! haha If you workout hard like myself you are better off just drinking one or two of your favorite beers( Hoegarden, Hacer Pshorr) then a six pack of this beer to feel a buzz and keep your gut down!

    I was at our favorite weekend establishment and mentioned to the bartender that I had just started a 10lb off diet. She immediately pulled out Miller 64 and proceeded to read to me the calorie count, fat count and researched it to find out there was 2.8% alcohol content. Sounded too good to be true…………..and when I first tasted it after drinking Miller Lite for many years I kind of confirmed my thoughts. I was still determined to really give this beer a fair chance. Today, all I drink is Miller 64. I have called restaurants to see if they carry it………..there response of those that didn’t have it was “It’s supposed to come in, many customers are asking for it”.
    My biggest challange is finding it. Safeway food stores have it but not in their cooler. They have to get it out of the back room. Also, Circle K carries it, but only in 6 packs. I’ve put in a request for Sams Club and Costco to carry it. Hopefully they’ll discontinue the MGD and replace it with 64. Give it a try, you’ll like it.
    P.S. Lost 14 pounds……….have to credit some of it to the 64!!

    If you want to save calories and get drunk – drink vodka. You will consume far fewer calories drinking vodka than trying to get drunk off of beer.

    I just bought this the other night, and looked all over the packaging to find the alcohol content… No luck… so here I am online to find out. I think that it is foolish/unfair for Miller to leave the alcohol content off of their packaging completely. As a consumer I feel that I have been cheated because they didn’t give me all of the information about the product I was buying! If I would have known that the alcohol content was 1/2 of bud light I would have probably just bought my bud light and went on with my life. All products should be up front about what they’re offering you, the companies shouldn’t hide the information from consumers like this…

    I love going out with friends. I don’t really like beer though, except Bud Light and a couple of local lagers. (Miller products usually bring on nasal congestion.) So I would drink mixed drinks. Unfortunately I began gaining weight with my choices, and would get buzzed before the night was through, making the next day miserable. This is the answer for me! I can nurse a couple through the night, still feeling like I’m drinking (cranberry selzer just doesn’t have the same satisfying feeling in the mouth as alcohol, and soda is too fattening), but I’m able to control both the calories and the buzz. And no nasal congestion!

    If I want real beer, I’ll make a different choice and get something more sophisticated. If I want a real buzz, I’ll do shots or mixed drinks. But this is a great choice for the common “going out” where the emphasis is on good friends and conversation rather than getting wasted.

    I have yet to have the Miller 64. I’m a huge Miller Lite fan, I do drink light beers because I tend to drink to get drunk, , and as good as Sam Adams Triple Bock tastes, I’m all set with drinking 8 beers at 340 calories a piece. Thus Miller Lite at 96 calories? and somewhere around 4.2% alcohol is the best choice for those whom want to drink in order to get drunk. Unfortunately from what I’ve heard the Miller 64 is somewhere around 2.5% alcohol, so I’d have to drink almost 2 in order to get the same amount of alcohol…giving me 128 calories…So, for those who are casual social drinkers who do not plan to drink miller 64 to get drunk, hat’s off to you. Those who love the alcohol and hate the calorie, Miller Lite is your best bet. But at the end of the day, we all wish we were drinking a glass of whiskey, who am i kidding.

    Here’s my spin:

    Michelob Ultra Amber MGD64
    5% alcohol 2.8
    114 calories 64
    3.7g carbs 2.4

    therefore 2 MGD 64’s = 5.6 alcohol, 128 calories, 4.8 carbs

    Seems to me one mich amber ultra just about equals 2 MGD 64’s so save money, drink a more flavorful beer , and go with the mich ultra amber. For basically the same amount of alcohol you need to drink 2 64’s so unless you just love it I don’t understand it. I don’t have the money to burn.

    Budweiser rates at 145 calories with a 5% alcohol content. MGD 64 rates at 64 calories with a 2.8% alcohol content. Only in America will consumers once again fall for this marketing ploy, first started by Miller with ‘Lite’ beer. Buy what you like to taste. If you’re concerned with your weight drink less often, or slower. Why spend the same or more for what amounts to more water?

    This beer is great when your looking to throw back a few and drive….but if your trying to get buzzed off of this…not gonna happen unless u drink a six pack on an empty stomach. The taste is good…u can actually taste the hops. A good beer and a health conscience consideration for the light or social drinker.

    I found out about 64 at a Weight Watchers meeting. I gave it a try and I really enjoy it. I work early on weekends and when my friends get together and party, I don’t feel like I’m missing anything, I can still have a few beers, watch my diet, not get drunk, and not be hungover! Perfect for me!!

    what is the point of this beer? if i want the same effect as 2 bud lights, i would have to drink 3 of the mgd light 64’s, and i’m consuming 2 extra calories! i will be sticking to my bud light. i like to drink beer to get an effect. i am watching my calories, but i would much rather have 2 bud lights instead of three mgd light 64’s. wish i didn’t just buy a case of it.

    I am a social drinker, I do not like the calories or the hangover that this brings on. If I am looking to get DRUNK, I will drink Miller light if I am looking to have a fun night out followed by a good morning, I will stick to Miller 64.

    This beer is not worth buying. It is basically soda. It is overcarbonated and tastes horribly watered down. Although I have a preference for IPA and other high gravity beers I do enjoy a light lager when it is hot, but this does not cut it. I can’t even catch a small buzz before my belly is soooo full of carbonated water that I can’t get any more down. My suggestion is to continue to drink other light beers with more realistic alcohol contents ~4% You will end up drinking less and the calories will be the same, and your kidneys will thank you for not drinking 5 gallons of this beer to get a buzz.

    To be honest with you, I am in my mid 30’s and I am slightly allergic to most beers. After 2 bud lights, or any other beer for that matter, I get extremely stuffed up and can’t breathe and my asthma kicks in. This is tough when you get a craving for a beer and can’t enjoy more than 2 with out these miserable effects. With MGD-64, I can drink a few and NOT get stuffed up. It is great! I love the taste! Its a good BEER!

    Well… I’d succumb to my inner vanity and decided to give this beer a shot. If you’re actually someone who LIKES beer you’re going to hate it. I’d imagine that whoever coined the idiom “bottom of the barrel” was referring to a keg of this piss-water. I’d might be okay on those 100 degree summer days where you really want a beer but know you need to stay hydrated. To the other reviewers – if you “don’t like beer” or “don’t want a buzz” why are you drinking, let alone reviewing, a beer. If you’re trying to watch your intake for caloric or other reasons you’re way better off buying something of actual quality to a point where you’re satisfied having less of it. And if you like this because you simply must have 6 beers every time you sit down I think weight watchers isn’t the only meeting you should be attending.
    Anyone want the remaining 5 bottles?

    Miller lite is my “go-to” beer, so I decided to give 64 a try. The taste is sub-par even for a lite. And the low alcohol content is also a downer. Someone a few posts back asked when kegs of this would be available. I would recomend getting a keg of miller lite and a water cooler and mixing them together. The result would equal MGD 64. 🙁

    That’s not physically possible. In fact Miller is just about at the limit as it is. Aside from the calories in the alcohol, the only other calorie source is the 2.4 carbs (about 20 calories). Even if you could somehow get the carbs down to 0, the max percent by vol of alcohol would still only be slightly above 3%.

    I prefer to drink vodka. Especially whilst partaking of my other favorite vice…cocaine.

    But if I ever find myself waking up in a car, in one hundred degree weather (happens more often than one would think), I will happily suck down a 64 or two so as to keep from dying of dehydration.

    Thanks SAB.

    You guys must be pretty shitty at math to not see the advantages. To calculate calories/unit alcohol you simply divide the the calories by the percent alcohol. So for MGD 64, it comes out to 22.86 calories/unit alcohol. The next closest is Michelob Ultra at 23.17 calories/unit alcohol. By this logic, MGD 64 is the lowest calorie beer for the alcohol you consume. I admit you will certainly need to drink more of them to get the same effect as the % alcohol content per bottle is less, so cost wise it may be a downer, but for people watching their calories (the people this beer is geared to) it makes sense.

    As a side note, I like that I don’t have to drink a Gatorade before I go to sleep with this stuff to avoid a hangover the next day since you are consuming so much water with it.

    If you’re drinking just to get drunk, why would you even try a beer like 64? Go get yourself some XXX or some other Canadian grog, go sit in a corner by yourself and drink up! I think 64 is an awesome beer. I’m a die hard Miller Lite drinker but if the bar has 64, that’s what I’m drinking. I think it tastes great, I LIKE the extra carbonation, and the fact that it has fewer calories is just an added bonus.

    I guess it all boils down to why you’re drinking in the first place. If you want a buzz, try shots of Wild Turkey or Blackhous. If you want to hang out with your friends and not get obnoxiously drunk, try it.

    I rarely drink a beer but with 64 cals I tried it. I drank one. I broke out in a rash. The next day I tried another one just to see if the rash was from it and sure enough I started to itch all over and the rash got worse. So what is in this beer cause I’m not allergic to foods of any kind? Is it made a special way?

    I’m asking for MGD 64 when I’m out because not only am I watching the calories, I’m looking for a lower alcohol content. I’m in agreement about the “watered down” taste, but I find if I ask for a lime and drink it like a Corona, it’s tolerable.

    I’m a lager beer lover so this is quite a switch for me. Try the lime. It’s not bad, and actually very refreshing!

    Kudos to Miller. I like 64. I am determined to drop some pounds by riding my bicycle and working with weights. Miller 64 is very low carb and I need to keep my carb intake below 25 carbs oer day. I just drank three while listening to the music at a locaL PLACE. I feel a buzz too. Very pleasant!

    Comparable to the Miller Light bottles but not the 3.2% alcohol content which can bring a stuper on the 3rd to 6th beer for me depending on the day. I have found that switching to the Miller 64 works great (at aprx 2.8% alcohol content) for a few more bottles at my pleasure to maintain my self control and peace of mind. It works with no downside effect for me. Love this beer Miller! Please just sell the Miller 64 beer in our favorite liquor stores, not just food markets and convenience stores. Excellent for Sports Game TV watching and social situations.

    Or you could have an ounce of distilled liquor and 12oz Diet Coke. 64 calories, 0 carbs. Less than 75 cents a serving.

    7.7% alcohol by volume, so if you’re the type to down six beers (384 calories, 14.5 carb grams), then have only two and eat 256 calories of real food. As if you were going to just drink beer and not snack as well.

      Maybe if you weren’t an alcholic and hadn’t grown up drinking everyday MGD 64 would have a better effect on you. I was addicted to cocaine and for some reason taking caffeine pills and drinking mountain dew just didn’t cut it….

    I can’t believe that Miller has chosen to run ads where a person would rather work off a fatter beer than drink MDG 64. I understand what they’re going for, but really, it boils down to more work-outs than drinking their beer. Not a good message to send to comsumers.

    Simply put, this is just a cruiser-beer.

    Good for light drinking or summer drinking (low alcohol lessens dehydration) or simply night-ending buzz maintenance.
    If they did it right, it will taste better than a O’douls, but this is not a drinking beer.

    Yelling and screaming “alcoholic” does nothing for this discussion.
