Slim cans chosen for low calorie beer
Brewer Anheuser-Busch has launched Select 55 in smaller-sized cans and bottles across the US.
Select 55 is now available in sleek 8oz, 35-calorie cans and in 7oz, 32-calorie clear glass bottles.
Select 55 offers a clean, crisp taste with fewer calories for adult beer drinkers. The new smaller-size cans and bottles make it ideal for enjoying a great tasting beer while limiting calorie intake, whether people are seeking light refreshment at the end of the day or celebrating the weekend with friends.
Each 8oz aluminium can of Select 55 has 35 calories, 1.9 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fat and less than one gram of protein per serving. Seven-ounce clear glass bottles of Select 55 contain 32 calories, 0.8 grams of carbohydrates and less than one gram of protein per bottle.
“These new sizes for Select 55 provide more options for adults who want to enjoy a great beer with few calories,” says Ryan Moore, senior director, Select 55. “We first introduced Select 55 to provide beer drinkers a premium lighter light beer option. As our drinkers have evolved, we saw an opportunity in the marketplace and developed ‘Little Lights’ to meet it. We think Select 55 drinkers will find them to be a great option for times when a smaller size is ideal.”
Select 55 is made with caramel malts and a blend of imported and domestic hopping. Select 55 features a unique recipe that gives the beer its crisp finish with aroma notes of toasted malt and subtle hopping. All Select 55 beers are brewed at Anheuser-Busch’s Los Angeles, St Louis and Williamsburg breweries.
