Production & Heritage

Chick Brewing Company is based in Easton, Maryland, and positions its flagship light lager as a distinctive alternative in the mainstream American light beer market. The beer is contract brewed at Minhas Craft Brewery in Monroe, Wisconsin, one of the oldest operating breweries in the United States, with roots dating back to 1845. The brewing process follows standard American light lager techniques, producing a pale golden beer that keeps the calorie count to 97 and carbohydrates to just 3.5 grams per 12-ounce serving — figures competitive with or below the major national light beer brands.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Mild and clean on the nose, with light cereal grain and subtle corn sweetness. A faint fruity character hints at fresh apple and pear.

Taste: The entry is soft and slightly sweet, with gentle malt and a light corn backbone. Mid-palate brings a touch of green apple and mild fruitiness, while the body carries more weight than the calorie count would suggest. The carbonation is lively and keeps the beer feeling crisp throughout.

Finish: Short and clean with a dry, refreshing snap. Minimal bitterness lingers, leaving behind just a trace of light grain sweetness.

How to Drink Chick Light Beer

Serve cold, ideally between 35–40°F, in a pilsner glass or straight from the bottle. This is a straightforward, easy-drinking light lager built for casual refreshment rather than contemplative sipping.

• Michelada: The crisp, clean base and low bitterness pair well with tomato juice, lime, and hot sauce without competing flavors.
• Beer Margarita (Beergarita): The light body and subtle sweetness blend smoothly with frozen margarita mix for a laid-back warm-weather drink.
• Shandy: Mix with fresh lemonade — the mild fruit notes in the beer complement citrus naturally.

• Calorie-conscious beer drinkers seeking an alternative to major national light lagers
• Casual game-day drinking sessions that call for easy, sessionable beer
