Where to buy Miller Lite in the UK?
« on: August 22, 2017, 10:27:07 AM »
Does anybody know where to buy Miller Lite in the UK?

The in-laws are over next week and I thought it would be great if I could get the father-in-law's favourite bevvy!

I've had a quick look online and it doesn't seem to be readily available.
Why don't you introduce him to some good British beers instead!  :)

We've got a massive Budweiser brewery near our house but I can't recall seeing Miller lite anywhere.  Good on you for trying to be a good son in law no matter what hardships it entails.

I remember seeing Miller high life in some "American themed" restaurants, and seem to want to think I have seen it somehwere in stores...but not Miller Lite. Only Light beers I see are Bud Light and Coors Light!

I don't think you can Miller Lite, but there are plenty of other watery-flavourless lagers that can be found.

I concur!!!  :D

Actually, if he likes lager and not other types of beer, there are some nice craft lagers out there. 

RE#DIAL, which is a Williams Bros brewing Craft Lager available in Aldi is very nice and they do a nice on on draught

Drygate's Bear Face is yummy!


Harviestoun Schiehallion
is okay

Camden Hells Lager is nice and refreshing on a hot day

I've not had this one before, but Tiny Rebel make yummy beers, so worth trying: Boho

BrewDog has Kingpin

Deeside has the LAF Steam Beer aka California Common a type of lager

And these are just the British ones I can think of, there are plenty of nice German ones you can find.

The German ones will probably be more to his liking.  The craft bottles might be too hoppy, as that's the current style trend.

Very true.  Lots of nice German ones.  :)
I could only list lagers I like.  I don't even know how to list the generic British watery, tasteless lager ones that are close to Miller Lite, because I don't really even know them.

Thanks phatbeetle!

We get along very well so no dire need to massively impress.

It's more just casual beers to have around the house that are fairly inexpensive.

No joke!  I don't consider myself a craft beer expert but I can't drink any new beers these days without being overwhelmed by hops.

I live near Burton on Trent, home of Molson-Coors. Uni got through to a go so I review with them was so bummed when I didn't get the job.

You could check out their offerings. Jean Claude Van Damme has been I  their ads recently.
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

Nope. But their really weird ads aimed at like 18-24 year olds. Completely opposite of Coors Light ads in the US. Haha.

I remember being in rural Ireland, oh about 10, 11 years ago, and the ladies were all drinking Coors Light with ice.  [smiley=puke.gif]
 I was last in Ireland at the beginning of last year and I don't remember anyone doing that now.  I think G&T or V&T or half pints of cider was more the drink of choice for ladies.

Can vouch for Brewdog Kingpin (it's no secret to my friends that I am a Brewdog fan and I do enjoy the Kingpin!) and Camden Hells Lager! Not tried the others!

Definitely get some bud or coors but maybe have something more "local" on the back-burner for him to try. Worst case scenario, he's not a fan and wants something in his comfort zone (or he doesn't try it at all), best case scenario, he finds something new he likes that he can go home and tell people about!
My, how time flies....
